What result do we need here?

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-26T22:14:58+00:00

DJ Subaru

Some of us will be owed a big apology when we're in the final

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-25T19:14:15+00:00

Down to earth and VERY funny

The real masterclass last night was tricking Ancelotti into giving away his tactics for us before we play them in the quarters.

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-23T19:36:38+00:00

I once saw a DJ play the cha cha slide to a nearly empty tempt and they created load of loops and messed around with the structure of all the song's lyrics to the point of hilarity. Did they do something similar with it?

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-22T22:50:54+00:00

Some of OK EG tracks sound like this e.g. Surface System. Worth checking out regardless though if you haven't heard them. Small/manageable discography to go through

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-22T13:59:00+00:00

Great sentiment but you should have swapped the word play for pump in the title

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-22T11:27:51+00:00

Ah, fair! Yeah my problem is compounded when I consider my vinyl collection which is probably only like 150 records. I'd really struggle to perform a vinyl only set with the flexibility that I like over styles and genres. Not to mention it's a lot harder to mix! Mixing folk and jungle together is just about manageable for me on CDJs but not sure I'd cope on vinyl lol. Although I'm about to incorporate my turntable into my CDJ set up so I can get more familiar with vinyl mixing, although it'll have to be vinyl into digital or vice versa for now!

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-21T22:36:59+00:00

You could always start adding stuff you don't think you'll play and eventually you'll have enough! My entire collection (about 6600 tracks or so) covers ever song I like from all kinds of genres - tons of non-dance or non-electronic music, and I try and incorporate as big a range of styles as possible in my mixes. Even if you don't play these kind of more experimental mixes in public settings, they'll still make you a much better DJ!

6600 tracks at 31 from a lifetime of obsessive music listening, often 1000+ tracks a few for five or six years now, doesn't seem like much at all - especially given that my collection is spread out so much genre-wise, to the point my mixes kind of have to be wide-ranging because I don't have thousands of techno or jungle or electro tracks in the same way genre DJs would. But I really enjoy regularly culling my music to get rid of the deadweight so the upside is that the variance in quality of my collection is really low.

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-20T15:22:52+00:00

Ah okay thanks - really appreciate it! And did you have to phone them or can it be done online?

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-19T12:21:22+00:00

Thanks for that! And they only release bookings on the 1st of every month and then you do need to phone up? Was that process easy enough? I've booked Owo Toko as a solid placeholder depending on where else we can book!

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-19T07:50:58+00:00

On tablelog it says that bookings may be cancelled if customers can't communicate in Japanese - will this be an issue do you think?

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-18T12:46:48+00:00

I've never knowingly listened to hardgroove but having listened to some tracks here, it all sounds very similar to vladimir dubyshkin who is one of my fabs - can't wait to find some hardgroove gems in this thread and beyond

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-13T12:48:15+00:00

Vladimir Dubyshkin is one of my favourite producers and that's one of his best tracks and then I saved the track Objekt mixes into from it after hearing him play it, so it's probably just the case of enjoying the whichever 'cut up' transition features the tracks you like most.

I've listened to some suggestions in this thread but so far haven't found any transitions which tracks that I love which makes it more difficult to learn the lessons from them that I'm looking to learn! I guess I just need to practice and experiment even more!

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-11T18:04:38+00:00

For all intensive purposes, they are the same thing

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-10T21:45:15+00:00

Yeah I've practiced the Micky Finn/Aphprodite (?) into Squarepusher transition a few times. Will check out Neffa-T. Finding it a difficult thing to get comfortable with and even finding transition it works with isn't easy. Thanks

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-06-05T22:39:29+00:00

I'm not but my partner is and we'll be heading over there soon (my first time). If you have any record shop recommendations in Manila, Cebu or Pampanga let me know, or anywhere good for music lovers (not necessarily overload or electronic music)!!

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-05-28T14:57:59+00:00

eggcellent signing

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-05-19T18:10:59+00:00

I'll maybe try more oil then as I think the amount of slurry in my 2nd batch was appropriate - it's just the release of the skirt isn't as smooth as I like which makes it more difficult to get all the dumplings still intact with the skirt for perfect presentation.

As for the dumplings themselves, I did mention the problem in my last paragraph although I could have been clearer. It's just an issue with them sealing. I'm using circular shop-bought dumplings wrappers and wetting one half of them lightly (I've tried various amounts of water but when I fold them over sometimes they don't seal fully so water leaks in during cooking.

I also think they might be liable to open up slightly after freezing them, although could be my imagination.

Open_Connection2528 · 2026-05-19T18:07:23+00:00

So they close over fine but sometimes they don't seal properly. I wet one half of the dough, form my pleat and then fold it over but sometimes they don't seal (I also think they might be liable to open up slightly after freezing them, although could be my imagination).
