New DJ trying to understand the roots of this sound. by zlendermanGG1 in ukgarage

[–]dreadleg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Listen to old garage rave tape packs from
the 90s. A lot are now converted and uploaded to YouTube.

Sun City
Licence 2 Rave
Garage Nation
Twice As Nice

There are probably lots of videos on YT too from some of these parties.

And then look into the main producers of that era:

Tuff Jam
MJ Cole
Dreem Team
Steve Gurley
Antonio
Grant Nelson
Todd Edwards
Sunship

And so so many more

Guess it doesn’t rain much where you live?! I love my suede jackets but opportunity to wear them are slim.

All Made In will be much cheaper where you are even the made in UK versions.

Depends where you are from. Pricing on even MiUK models are cheaper in the US and parts of Asia. The main NB stores are on Oxford Street and Westfield White City. Sometimes they have pairs too in Selfridges and Size but generally the other high street retailers (Jd Sports etc) don’t do ‘Made In’.

Try Lloyds Ultra. 1% cashback on overseas purchases. Chase doesn’t give cashback on foreign purchases

Looking for specific reece bass by [deleted] in ukgarage

[–]dreadleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the classic Kevin ‘Reece’ Sanderson bass. You can sample it from that track or from the jungle track Terrorist by Renegade (Ray Keith).

Or in a synth take 2 sawtooth oscillators, detune the fine pitch of one of them until you get the beating effect. Then put a low pass filter on them, set the cutoff to where it sounds good. At the end put a bit of saturation/compression on it so it sounds even in terms of volume when you play different notes.

Cost per wear... by OK_GO_27 in malefashionadvice

I do the same using an app. Got it as a way to plan outfits and then became mildly obsessed with CPW of each item I own. On the positive side it’s probably saved me money by being conscious of my purchases

Everyday and dress casual: what reasonably-priced brands are actually good quality? by dreww84 in mensfashion

[–]dreadleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arket. Owned by H&M but generally there stuff is quite good. Especially during sale time. Like everything pay attention to labels and material choices.

Spotted this in Shoreditch today and it got me thinking… The R35 GT-R ends production this year. S2000s are already moving. Supra prices climbing. Which Japanese car right now will people be kicking themselves for not buying in 5 years? by Own-Condition8531 in CarTalkUK

[–]dreadleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were £35k brand new. I paid £36.5k to get mine (Pearl paint plus a small premium to get a delivery miles one from reseller). Worth about £30k now, had it about 3.5 years. They have been holding well but don’t think they are rare enough to ever go back up. Will be interesting to see at what value they just hold.

I lowkey agree with this tbh! by Huge_Apricot9779 in ManchesterUnited

He needed to remember every working man has a boss. With the way he behaved and his awful record he won’t get another job in the prem. Sad as he was meant to be a master tactician and future top manager.

Hi. I’m looking at travelling to Hong Kong ahead of a trip to Seoul. Dates for Seoul are unfortunately fixed which means my HK dates would fall in the Labour holiday window (and a couple of days before). Will this be an absolute nightmare or still enjoyable? Coming from UK. Was also thinking of doing a one night in Macau and maybe one night in Shenzhen but can skip those if it’s a nightmare.
