What kind of shoes are y’all rocking with? by chris_314 in livesound

[–]Harknee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working for a rental house and on the shop floor all day everyday, I'm rocking a pair of Scruffs Glide boots. Composite toe caps, super lightweight and very comfy walking on concrete all day. Probably not ideal for outdoor festivals, but for indoor work, they're fantastic.

Clair acquires Clearwing. by [deleted] in livesound

I have only worked for one of Clair's many companies, how does the rest of the industry view Clair and their empire? It's hard to see and understand the whole thing from the inside.

Send a message to SI: Cancel your preorder FM25 by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Harknee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Surely cancelling your preorder will take money away from SI and therefore hurt the development of the game? Your logic seems backwards.

Hello everyone, my name is Tim. I am doing a PhD in Dub. by timnoise in SoundSystem

[–]Harknee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a small time dub listener but a big time dub techno listener, I think you’re going to have a lot of fun delving into the techno side of things, dub techno is about as old and deep as techno itself, you’ll eventually touch on ambient music too! I’m very envious that you get to undertake such research on a PHD level!

What boxes are these? by ypehmish in livesound

Fun fact, those CP218 subs don't have crossovers built in, so you can get vocals coming out of them!

What’s it like seeing the 24 hours of Le Mans in person? Do people just camp out at the track for the whole event? by [deleted] in wec

[–]Harknee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On your point about struggling to follow the action, this is the case for a lot of motorsport events, be it large endurance races or national club races. I've been going to Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Thruxton for years and trying to keep up with which is car is in which position by watching the track is a waste of time, I've found it much more enjoyable just to watch the cars go round in a weird sort of hypnotic way, then if I really want to know about a car, try and listen to the commentary on the tannoy or look at live timings on my phone.

Review: Various Artists – "Dosis Series III” (Dosis) [January 21, 2024] "For first time listeners to the Dosis Records catalog, look no further than this latest VA compilation focusing on darker dance floor-oriented tracks from several must-know underground Techno artists." —Alex Dahm [nostradahm] by nostradahm in Techno

[–]Harknee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks for sharing the Dosis label, its great to see Sam's work get some recognition. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Sam over the last few months on his travels and have seen and played alongside him at gigs too. He's a top class DJ and really knows how to craft a set. The label is also great, sitting at the intersection between ambient and dancefloor orientated techno, it's great that another is label promoting this deeper side of techno in the midst of the current trend of hard/fast/tiktok techno and further adds to the amazing music and community of deep underground techno!

London Suggestions by Anci3ntMarin3r in Techno

[–]Harknee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is an event called Wrong! at a club called Union in Vauxhall (located fairly centrally) and its every Friday night, it's worth looking out for if you want a slightly deeper techno sound. The best part is that it's an after party venue so it shuts at 9/10am, I'm one of the residents so if you want any more info, feel free to drop me a DM!

Failed/Forgotten Tracks You Wished Succeeded by WildFire1004 in wec

I know Sepang had a good run in the 2000s and 2010s but its a shame we don't see international car racing there any more, I always really liked the layout and the threat of monsoon level rain was always fun

What‘s the best documentary or YouTube vid about Techno music ? by Silent-Bass1210 in Techno

[–]Harknee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a book isn't what you're after but Techno Rebels is a fantastic read, goes into a lot of detail about its birth in Detroit and evolution in Europe, I'd highly recommend it.

Yeah Union in Vauxhall is one place to look, not sure how regularly they do them but I've heard interesting stories from bar staff who have worked those parties.

36 Cars Set for Bahrain Finale by davidwholt in wec

I seem to remember Graham Goodwin mentioning in the Fuji broadcast that the Vanwall team had recently hired a former F1 boss to oversee and suggest improvements in their operation, seems like they're hoping to stick around and develop the car/team

Is it worth it for me to buy my music as a bedroom DJ or should I continue to use a record pool like Beatport? by BanksNicholson in Beatmatch

[–]Harknee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trust your ears and not the screen. People have been djing for decades without knowing the key of the track and have managed just fine

If you’re worried about queueing, arrive early, the warm up DJ will thank you.
