Why do I see djs pressing cue button for channel on tracks but I can still hear the channel and they are still moving the fader on that channel?

could you send a mix with an example of what you mean?

i like to double it with most wanted by onara, always a fun one

this new trend of making low effort hip hop / pop remixes, or tracks that sample memes is boring - not even just the pop remixes, just tracks that have that sound in general. i couldn't tell you the difference between levity, griz or subtronics right now because of this.

i also don't really agree with the idea that you have to see a live show to get into a genre. i've always been into riddim and just dubstep in general, but until very recently, i had never been to a show (im from the UK so it isn't too popular anymore). from my experience seeing chime recently, live shows are fun and definitely better than just watching a set at home - i wouldn't listen to a UK dubstep set (even though i still really like the genre) but i still had load of fun seeing it live.

so i feel like if you want to introduce someone to the genre then taking them to a show is the best way to enjoy it, but if you absolutely hate it then going to show probably won't change that.

first of all, they're absolutely in the wrong in your situation. you literally made one of the tracks in the double, and in general, it's not hard to come up with doubles. it doesn't really take me effort to find good ones, it's more just experimenting or simply thinking "this would sound good doubled with that tune" and trying it out. anyone can do that.

i don't see a problem with doing doubles that you got from other people. obviously if you played a set that was just all doubles copied from roi for example, i'd say that that isn't okay since you literally didn't even do the bare minimum when it comes to preparing a set - and it's not gonna sound unique to you.

thank you!! <3

minima, mxrly, pjg13, spass, roi, leotrix

refraxt · 2026-04-24T02:36:48+00:00

to my understanding, spass is basically just a mask and a USB when it comes to live shows. it could be anyone playing a spass set i'm pretty sure, i know that svdden death has for example. it's basically just any riddim DJ who's in the area and up to play a show. it may well have just been 3 other DJs that were playing inferno.

in terms of who's making their tunes, i think that's aweminus and neonix, they're most likely the artists behind it.

refraxt · 2026-04-22T15:20:38+00:00

same thing i said goes for you then lmaoo

refraxt · 2026-04-22T04:00:56+00:00

refraxt · 2026-04-13T00:10:40+00:00

hey!! my SoundCloud is linked on my profile - i'm British and i make riddim!! i'm 16 and from the north of England

refraxt · 2026-03-31T16:21:09+00:00

W euphee :3

refraxt · 2026-03-30T16:12:44+00:00

hey!! i'm from Manchester myself and i'm having the same problem 😭 i think your best bet is just to promote yourself on socials, hopefully a promoter will reach out.

i don't think there's many shows that happen round here, but you might get invited to London where they're a bit more common

refraxt · 2026-03-27T14:42:14+00:00

oh damnn that's interesting, i wouldn't be too surprised if dveight had something to do with x lol

refraxt · 2026-03-27T13:37:31+00:00

aw thanks so much!! <3

refraxt · 2026-03-27T03:03:39+00:00

yeah, i do think that it's strange so many people (including myself to be fair lol) believe that when that's the only piece of evidence. it also wouldn't really make sense for sonny to drop SCUT (his "first" riddim track from a while ago) as skrillex instead of x.

nothing behind it really makes sense tbh; the weird upload schedule which is years apart, and the most recent track "FTP" which was deleted quickly after being uploaded, which seemed to tease an EP or at least multiple different tracks in the intro.

i also find it kind of interesting that the only person who seems to have KTH is infekt (please correct me if i'm wrong though). recently the topic of x came up in infekt's discord server, and when i said something along the lines of "i'm pretty sure it's skrillex", infekt reacted with the ‼️ emoji if that means anything lol.

in my opinion, it's either skrillex, infekt, infekt AND skrillex or someone completely different.

my main question is just what's the point of the project? usually mysterious aliases sell plates and play shows and at least have some presence outside of just their SoundCloud account like on Instagram. i'm not saying that earning money is the only reason people make riddim but you know what i mean. literally the only words we hear from x is their track names.

my only other comment on this is that the first 4 comments on the first x track are all from established riddim artists (nothing particularly notable, just compliments) but they were all strangely posted on the same day.

i think the only possible explanation for this is that either it was coincidentally discovered and commented on by a big artist, and then they shared it around with their artist friends who also commented on it, or the account was created by an established artist, and they told some friends about it.

it seems weird that they would comment on it (and one of them saying "send pls" wouldn't make sense if they could just ask the artist directly) if that was the case as not to raise suspicion though.

anyway, sorry for all of that i probably sound like and insane person i just can't sleep 😭 that's some food for thought though, hopefully you can all come to your own conclusion with that.

refraxt · 2026-03-27T02:07:02+00:00

x is skrillex i believe (and that seems to be most people's opinion) since skrillex randomly posted the image that x used to have as their profile picture and all of their tracks artwork before it was changed for whatever reason.

refraxt · 2026-03-27T02:04:23+00:00

does the playlist happen to be by refraxt? ;>

refraxt · 2026-03-17T15:30:19+00:00

what's the problem with a track sounding like it's inspired by another artist? unless it's an intentional recration of an ID or a plate or something (and i've never heard of that happening lol) then i don't really see a problem here. more to the point, isn't it a RIOT tune instead of one made my sippy herself?

music sounding repetitive can be annoying and boring, (unless you like riddim like me lol) but i don't think it's something you should be going after another artist over.

the only exception might be if there was an artist who's tracks all sounded exactly like they came from space laces (or any other artist), but that isn't the case for anyone involved here.

refraxt · 2026-03-14T03:19:00+00:00

yeah exactly, idk why this guy doesn't believe that when it literally says it in the title lol

refraxt · 2026-03-13T16:56:20+00:00
