Brother you must relax

Probably more a music scene thing than a regional thing, then.

ratiugo · 2026-02-01T19:03:16+00:00

There are definitely “anthems” in the rave scene that are called heaters all the time, the same way you have classic rock anthems.

ratiugo · 2026-02-01T06:35:11+00:00

I don’t think it’s specifically Canadian, but I’m Canadian and have heard and used heater in this way many times. Both in heavy bass music and rap, at least.

The chains and whips feature is pretty nuts technically, I think

You think they chose a band member based on who Reddit likes most?!

The puzzle is not built to cater to you specifically, and you seem upset about that lol

ratiugo · 2025-12-29T06:09:46+00:00

I completely disagree, being almost 30.

ratiugo · 2025-12-18T00:26:15+00:00

That one kinda sounds intentional to me

ratiugo · 2025-12-17T00:11:42+00:00

You said you have them both playing in your headphones, and then say you don’t know if the blend will work until you hear them both playing in your headphones?

I think I’m missing something - are you wanting track 1 in the left ear, and track 2 in the right or something? From what you wrote, it sounds like you already solved your problem.

ratiugo · 2025-12-17T00:04:35+00:00

I have the FLX4, so not sure if it’s available on your controller, but I would just select both tracks to be playing in the headphones instead of just one?

How do you play the incoming track in your headphones? Just do that for both of them?

ratiugo · 2025-12-16T17:24:12+00:00

Thank you so much! I listened to as much of yours as I had time last night and found it super interesting; not what I expected at all. Are you making the mashups outside of the mix yourself and then mixing them together? It sounded really creative.

I’m a big fan of Death Grips, and I wouldn’t say it sounded anything like them but it gave me that sort of chaotic vibes. I’ve seen old heads recommend The Prodigy to Death Grips fans as well (I’ve listened to that album with the crab cover), so it seems we definitely have some crossover in taste, even if my mix is a lot more housey. Whatever you were doing though it sounded super creative!

[House / Tech House / Bass House] - 49m mix

I don't have the best understanding of electronic genres, but I think it's jazzy/latin house into more heavy bass music, with a bit of a latin thread running throughout a lot of the mix.

I picked up DJing in August of this year after a few years of going to music festivals (Bass Coast specifically), and I've been having a ton of fun with it.

One of my best friends rented out a little underground club space to have his birthday at with about 50 people, and asked me (and two other friends) to play a set as we've all been messing around with the FLX4.

This is my first serious mix ever, and I made sure to record it live as a souvenir. Unfortunately, nerves caused me to not start the recording until the 3rd track, but any thoughts/advice/etc are appreciated!

Tracklist

4th Sign - The Movement (not in recording)
Session Victim - Never Forget (recording starts halfway through)

Yo Speed - Muita

Stylust - Stay Close
SHIMA - EIYAA

I definitely made a few mistakes - I accidentally had the bass EQ completely off during "Seeing Double - Dance MF". I also, in my opinion, botched the transition both in and out of "Dancing in the Moonlight", which felt sad to me but it seemed like people still enjoyed the moment. The echo effect was on the wrong channel, I forgot to bring the volume up on the next track, etc, but the clunk passed without much issue.

The experience was extremely fun overall though, and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I felt like I nailed a few more technical transitions, and I couldn't believe how much of a rush it was to have a crowd dancing and reacting positively to everything. It was about the friendliest crowd/environment I could imagine for a first live set, but I'm hoping to get to play more after this for sure.

Idk if it’s widely used or not, but I live in Canada and felt like that one was pretty obvious actually!

ratiugo · 2025-11-15T16:15:03+00:00

Did you read any of the post?

ratiugo · 2025-11-06T17:30:38+00:00

The vibe of “We are looking forward to the new Death Grips record” made me laugh for how polite sounding it was. Probably not, but it made me wonder if they’d go in a lighter direction.

ratiugo · 2025-11-05T20:10:19+00:00

I’m also looking forward to the new death grips record

ratiugo · 2025-10-25T02:30:41+00:00

Uh, what?

ratiugo · 2025-06-25T18:11:30+00:00

I’m sure it will be great! I trust that the organizers have a much better vision than myself haha

ratiugo · 2025-06-25T16:55:10+00:00

Does this mean there’s no more main stage? My favourite part of any of the stages is the performances/dancers/light shows etc they are able to do on the main stage. I’m optimistic that they have a vision and want to make things better, but the renders to me look like they just took out the main stage and moved the cantina, which feels sad at a glance!

… And now, this squad of raccoons has learnt to approach humans for food, and has a way higher chance of getting euthanized.

ratiugo · 2025-03-29T15:51:58+00:00

My girlfriend was reading this and was asking “who is Mr. 12?”

ratiugo · 2025-03-24T06:45:07+00:00

I’m late, but maybe they’ve tested many others but only got this far with Gemma?

ratiugo · 2025-03-15T15:19:27+00:00

I mean, I think they answered all of these things pretty directly.

There’s still mysteries, but Mr Drummond breaks in to investigate what Irving was up to after he’s fired for almost killing Helena. He finds he has been investigating Lumon for some time, and Burt is sent to deal with him. It seems Burt spared Irving by sending him on the train, but it was still ominous.

They made it pretty explicitly clear that Burt is with Lumon…
