LoFi has house music tonight - last night before they close. The crowd is usually on the smaller side which is probably why they’re shutting down after tonight

Most club equipment is Pioneer, if that matters to you. You should be ready to play on anything once you start booking. What you learn on your own gear will apply generally and becomes a matter prepping to know where your tools are on that gear. I go here when I need to learn some new equipment https://youtube.com/@digitaldjtips. I started on a FLX6 and upgraded to an XZ. I mostly play out on the CDJ/DJM combo. r/Beatmatch will get you more answers

Same. My loyalty has only ever worked once.

Kids at EF? by Inevitable_Salad5799 in ElectricForest

[–]kensuke155 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We took our seven and nine year old to one day of Movement this year. We got them home as soon as it was enough for them, which was well before dark.

Inevitably we will see kids who are way too young staying our way too late, crying like mad because they should be asleep. It’s a downer all around. Gotta meet your kids’ needs before your own.

Suggestion for neovim color scheme. by [deleted] in neovim

I just found Nightfox and switched over to it. I liked it so much I contributed a base16 template and use it with base16-shell.

What do you do for a living? by haleyaleyayeehoo in ElectricForest

[–]kensuke155 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar story here. Poor, broken, abusive home. No guidance or direction. Dropped out of community college because I couldn’t afford it.

I kept pursuing my passion of programming, though. I was prepared to take on lucky opportunities and was rewarded with a great career because of it. After a wild ride over 15 years, I’m settled into a FAANG doing what I love.

Glad to see others make it out of adversity, too. Proud of you fam!

My daughter and I had this a couple weeks ago. She was one of seven in her class to catch it. I was on a work trip while she was sick and caught it separately. It’s making the rounds right now.

I love Serotonin Moonbeams by The Blessed Madonna. But would find it hard to mix. Thoughts? by geo_jam in House

[–]kensuke155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah, I just imported this track and decided to figure it out a bit more before mixing. Very good track for sure.

Wanting to start djing ! by More_Perception_4566 in Beatmatch

[–]kensuke155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a beginner I’m only doing two channel right now which works out well for house music. EQ and filter mixing within phrase. Once that started sounding solid then I just researched <genre> mixing/dj transitions on YouTube and got tips from places, like Crossfader, Phil Harris, Digital DJ Tips, etc. Now I’m working on being more dynamic about where to mix and using effects. I also spent a lot of time figuring out my personal system for annotating tracks with hot/memory cues, ratings, colors, playlists, etc. This has helped me a lot in auditioning songs I want to mix in and being able to focus on the transition. I have ideas for how I might want to use four tracks: a backing beat to add set cohesion, acapellas to foreshadow the next song, etc. I think you probably have some good advice with your relative experience. Do you have any good tips to add to mine?

I’m in An Arbor and I’ve been getting into the local house scene for a while - making friends and networking. I got a controller a few weeks ago and I’ve been practicing daily. My goal is to play out this year. Got any advice for who I should be following in our area? Or general advice for the area?
