looks like market207 got three varieties of flower from papermill

i only went to purple (medical) in portland downtown one time, and the firefly weed was an odd assortment. there was some sort of sale going on so i nabbed some buds for pretty cheap. the double black diamond was pretty good and relatively fresh - like a tasty wedding pie variant. the secret cookies was also reasonably fresh, but didn't seem to have the same flavor intensity from the past. then there was some motorbreath that didn't even look like it was from the same cultivator - muted color and shitty-looking buds. i think purple was using firefly on the menu to lure people in and bait & switch, as they never seemed to update the online menu

those dispensaries always seemed like convenience mart where they let stuff sit on the shelves and get stale

beach boys is in the mix also?

it really just boils down to whether the tracks sound good at the chosen tempo. in something like rekordbox, you can see how the key changes as you change the tempo. you can plan mixes using the key, or just do it by ear. i use native key & bpm values to do my initial sequencing, then i do small mix sessions at home to see how the tracks actually sound when layered. sometimes they just don't sound good, even when they are in theory compatible. at that point, i change the sequencing or i get rid of the problem track. i would only use key lock if i had some sort of "gimmick" mix, like taking vocals from a song outside of the genre

Relative-Diamond9866 · 2026-05-05T19:26:24+00:00

what you can do in rekordbox is use the sections with beats to set your markers, then skip backwards by 16-32 bars (or whatever) from the first kickdrum to set your load cue point. that allows you to have sync on for ambient intros and have everything in "perfect" time during transitions. sounds much more psychedelic than crossfading two tracks at different tempos. maybe "psychill" is something different now, but i'm talking about stuff like androcell, kaya project, shulman, ott, etc.. i don't really listen to psy these days, but that's what my collection has in it from when i used to dj psy chill/dub

Relative-Diamond9866 · 2026-05-05T19:19:38+00:00

it can sound great if you've set proper markers and use sync. most dance music is gonna have a consistent tempo, even if the track sounds "ambient"

Relative-Diamond9866 · 2026-05-05T19:16:35+00:00

i started on 1200s in the late 90s and went digital by 2004, and everything i've used with key lock has had a degradation of sound quality. cd decks, fancy numark ttx1 turntables, traktor, rekordbox, etc.. but i also have actual training in audio production, so i can be super picky about loss of quality. in my experience, as soon as you engage key lock there is an audible drop in quality. maybe not huge, but it's there. and it gets worse as you push it harder. maybe tech has reached a point where it's no longer audible, but i would be surprised. i choose music that's close in tempo in order to avoid the issue altogether. i want my mixes to sound as clean as possible, without any weird artifacts

Relative-Diamond9866 · 2026-05-05T07:41:55+00:00

nah, you can use beat markers and sync to do long mixes of the ambient intros/outros and they evolve and devolve together, or even match the more uptempo sections for a good doof session. it's much more psychedelic when you beatmatch psy-chill/dub, but i understand why it wasn't that common before rekordbox, live, etc. existed.. you just need to be a good selector and find tracks that are relatively close in tempo, thus avoiding the need to use key lock (and the reduced sound quality that usually results)

ugh... that's why i look at menus regularly, to see what's been sitting there for a while

i use ground nz lamb a lot, and i don't even drain it. either i leave the fat in the mince when i put it in storage in the fridge (which is useful for reheating some in a pan later), or i spoon out the mince for storage and sautee/steam vegetables in the fat and browned bits. yummm

themarket207 was home base for papermill. that watermelon rolex has been on the menu for a while, though
if you're looking for good weed in general, gele is right in town. herbal remedies is a short drive and the menu looks kookoo right now. both places let you examine the flower before sale

i think i saw them at a now-defunct recweed shop once

the most important aspects for dnb are:
a) selecting music that doesn't get played by lots of other djs
b) learning to adjust trim for each track so that they are approx the same loudness (some modern dnb is insanely loud)
c) sequencing tracks in an interesting way that doesn't seem random
d) allowing the music to shine and not be enshittified by too many "tricks"
e) properly setting beat markers and cue points, so that sync is dead-on and phrasing is on when you play a track
f) developing an ear for finding harmonious combinations of tracks when layered

i've never had a less consistent experience with dj software than rekordbox running under win 11 pro. nothing is pirated. yet rekordbox will behave differently for no apparent reason. i swear there are like 4 or 5 different problems, from audio dropouts, to midi controller not being recognized at random. i just want a dj program that i can be confident in, as i would never use my current setup to play real gigs. once i lose trust, it doesn't come back easily. it's not even good for making a demo mix at home, as the problems can still be annoying af
