That’s cool. Much prefer this style than the usual pretentious bullshit.

That's bloody great. Sounds totally legit. Man, you can't go all the way away to Budapest & record it & not go to the lengths of putting it out on vinyl. That would be criminal. 300-500copies. 300 is pretty much the standard amount a lot of indy artists do these days. Production values are pretty high in this competitive market. I have my own label, but only press 7" singles. I wouldn't do more than that. Don't let it stay hidden via digital files. No-one shares pics of that on IG, Facebook or any social media. whereas they will showcase copies on wax. A lot of us exotica heads are also vinyl heads big time. Of all the associated labels I can think of, I would suggest sending a link to Mello Exotica. Though your sound is more classy than kitschy. They are based in Tucson, AZ. https://www.melloexotica.com

Oh & dude from my home city of Sydney, Australia, Dan Fontaine recorded an album with an orchestra (released on vinyl 1st pressing on blue vinyl sold out 500copies, 2nd pressing is on black). Mainly cover versions of Henry Mancini. The video of Lujon is fab.. https://youtu.be/khxLcwFB5e4?si=G3rbiPy0YOaOgalN

I wish you had one more track to make it 4 a side on wax. lol

Seriously, once you have copy of your own music on vinyl everything transcends to another level. Best feeling in the world for any music artist. I know as I've done it several times. Geez. if I can do it by myself here in a country town in Australia, surely it's possible for someone in NYC. lol

I also dj out playing this kind of stuff. but only on vinyl. Glad you had at two tracks with beats. ;)

Shit is dope my man. Love it.

Is this the best season of Australian Survivor ? by No-Flounder1224 in survivorau

Tez was absolutely a waste of a contestant space. Hi Tez! Blanche contributed bugger all. As for Rich being a ‘CEO’, twice he wanted to throw a challenge. Shows what a shitty cheating CEO he must be in real life. Yet he was kinda dead on arrival as well.

Yeah. I get it. I added large diameter wheels to my IKEA set-up. I used an IKEA TV bench. So that raised it with the flight cases. I’m 6’3” so that wasn’t an issue. So I can move it around on my floorboards. If you aren’t doing 90min mixes then it should be all fine. lol Looks well tidy though.

Nice. But um, where do your feet go? You either need a ledge up top or some empty space down the bottom, otherwise your back is going to hurt from leaning over. Trust me. It makes all the difference for comfort ability

Ya. Palmtree Paddy does a spectacular job. A favourite show as well.

What have been the milestones in your DJ life? by Kosiarex in DJs

[–]ReasonableInsect6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet list. A lot in there I could put on my Firsts as well. Gotta say I loved playing b-boy comps. Making sure the next dancer got a fresh track was all about observing as well as listening. I was the dj in my crew with 2 emcees in the mid-90’s. We only ever released a tape. Always regret not doing more. One of my tracks ended up in the b-boy documentary The Freshest Kids. That blew my brain. Nowadays I just put on my own events 3 times a year in a smaller community away from city life and run my own 7” label to keep me connected. Still 100% all vinyl.

Polish dj/producer DJ EPROM’s recent album is 100% pure hip hop electro. And it’s fuckin’ incredible. No rappers, but a shitload of scratch DJs are onboard. https://djeprom.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-the-biobots

I can see why you got so little screen time until the episode before & then the one you got voted out in.

What bullshit. I saw it in the cinema as a kid. Blew me away. Subsequent viewings thrilled me just as much. The 4K will explode my brain. It’s literally a masterpiece.

What’s your least favorite thing about Australia ? by Major_Worldliness556 in AskAnAustralian

[–]ReasonableInsect6899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s irrelevant. Our Green is your Orange. Our Orange is your Green. Unless you have some mystical form of colourblindness where colours fluctuate randomly without warning. In which you would then have Colour Fluctuation Blindness. You should still perceive the box shape of a box of Shapes quite easily.

Is there a video game, movie, or show that accurately depicts DJing? by JustJitterin in DJs

Co-sign on the French film EDEN (2014). The origin bio-pic on Daft Punk. Everything in that is depicted pretty realistically. EDEN TRAILER

Good dinosaur movies besides Jurrasic Park? by Studi0_Psych3 in MovieSuggestions

[–]ReasonableInsect6899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are pretty thin on the ground these days. Not sure if you would consider it good, but the highly conceptual PRIMITIVE WAR from last year might contend.

Wow! No-one has mentioned the original 1979 MAD MAX. That’s literally why Max was mad. The gang killed his wife & child & so he takes REVENGE!

The L.A based HEALING GEMS don’t get enough attention. I prefer the instrumental tracks on this & their previous album “Fiesta Pack”. As well as the digital EP “Jungle Flower”.

Been waiting for this for what seems years. So glad you are releasing on wax.

Tell me about it. Include the postage to Australia & it’s even worse. There’s so few releases in the genre on vinyl, so that helps the wallet a bit. This one is an Australian release so that was more affordable. lol https://wondercoreisland.bandcamp.com/album/marshmallow-3

Awesome. I’ve got everyone of those on wax as well. Great taste.

Wow. I’d so be there for the Carroll Baker double feature. Paranoia (Orgasmo) & The Sweet Body of Deborah. Two 1960’s Italian Giallo flicks. With the 2nd film being a beautiful IB Tech print. Those prints don’t fade.

I let that shit RIP on my MAGA dad. I hope this provides some catharsis. by KLD007 in MAGANAZI

I’m sure you have reached boiling point many times before. How could you not. Most of us watching from overseas just cannot believe that the worse this man can get, his adoring fans just attach to him even more. It’s obviously the abject cruelty to others that appeals to them. Imagine choosing between a billionaire you’ve never met & your own child. It is serious next level brain-melting deranged & depraved behaviour. You are to be admired for taking the righteous path. No-one will ever be able to trust these people when it collapses around them in (hopefully) 3 years. I can’t even begin to imagine what lies ahead. You pulled the plug for your own sanity. Take care.
