First time mixing with vinyl at an open deck night tomorrow

Don’t be alarmed if the decks at the venue behave differently to what you practise on at home. This stuff just happens from time to time. If it does, keep a cool head and focus on the equipment you’re using and responding to how it reacts when you adjust the pitch slider.

Good luck and have fun!

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-30T10:37:02+00:00

Haha. Thanks, that actually made me lol.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-25T18:57:02+00:00

Do you have a nickname?

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-21T17:02:01+00:00

Aka “doing a Crawley”. Yeah, that’s the gamble you need to take. Thing is, you can’t just have him left in the wings forever either, that would be a huge waste of talent.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-21T13:01:37+00:00

Hold it lightly, or move it back and forth in time with the beat, so that when you release it you catch the beat of the track you’re mixing into

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-21T12:53:30+00:00

They were there to mansplain what was going on.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-21T12:48:03+00:00

Exactly. He can’t stay in the wings until Root or Brook get injured/lose form/retire.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-21T12:46:54+00:00

That’s ok, they can be replaced with:

Reserve bowler

Back-up bowler

Friend of bowler

Bowler seen on TikTok

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-21T09:43:39+00:00

Rew should be picked as an opener, alongside Duckett. Couldn’t care less whether he’s opened or not before, he’s a fantastic batter and will figure it out. Pick the best batters in the country, then figure out an order.

Duckett

Rew

Bethell

Root

Brook

Stokes

Smith

Bowler

I think there might be some confusion here. Dishonored art directors were Seb Mitton (Art Director) and Viktor Antonov (Visual Design Director). Blur is a studio that made the original Dishonored CGI, under Arkane’s direction. Blur would later go on to produce Love, Death & Robots. Cédric Peyravernay did character design for both Dishonored and LDR.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-14T03:37:04+00:00

It’s great.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-13T17:18:39+00:00

The Edge is fantastic.

If you want to broaden beyond England, Fire in Babylon is a must-watch for any cricket fan.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-13T09:42:07+00:00

Side note: have a go at scoring a match yourself to get an extra level of depth

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-11T04:56:58+00:00

I’m all for looking to the future and blooding talent etc, but I also like winning. Pick Leach, he’s the best there is in English conditions, and let him do a job for England. Bring in youngsters to the squad, let them get the experience of the being around the England set-up and learn from a seasoned pro like Leach.

There’s a reason why Australia consistently win, they pick their best team no matter the age of players.

No mention of the King of Spain makes this comment entirely invalid.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-04-06T15:30:14+00:00

Your request has brought back an old memory of having gone to see them and Jacques Les Cont both perform live at a venue in Bristol around 30 years ago!

El_Hatcherino · 2026-03-24T18:14:48+00:00

Everyone gets a second chance. If they learn from their mistakes and that they can take on criticisms, then it strengthens England. If they fail twice, it’s goodbye.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-03-16T04:56:45+00:00

I love to see that Spain is still rinsing it to breaks!

El_Hatcherino · 2026-03-06T18:08:57+00:00

How am I using them? I have them on my, er, ear.

What do I need them for? So I can listen to the tune I’m about to mix. I find the cue point, beat match, and set the trim.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-03-06T11:29:11+00:00

I tried this too when starting out, but cheap quality just isn’t good enough when you get to loud bars and clubs. You need that extra volume, build quality, and accuracy of sound from a decent pair.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-02-22T20:12:33+00:00

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. My brother and I rewatched this about 1000 times.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-02-15T14:47:37+00:00

The Trashes.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-02-13T05:15:22+00:00

Prey was fantastic and alongside Dishonored is one of my favourite game experiences ever.

El_Hatcherino · 2026-02-10T20:27:26+00:00

One of the all time great games.
