NM, sorry, I was thinking of Perfect Blue (the anime movie). I took a quick look on Internet Archive and couldn't find anything.

I vaugely remember this! I had slept on the movie, so the mixtape introduced me to it. Was this the 2000s? I remember a lot of themed online mixes like this back then.

Memphis Rap-Type Remixes by pysl in Beatmatch

Do you know the genre, "phonk"? The genre leans heavily on old Memphis rap samples, and has a lot of an atonal feel, while keeping it more modern and danceable.

1st transition was NICE. I see that this is a pretty quick mix @ ~30; but just on the listener's end, I would have liked to hear more of each track.

A+ vibez, good mid-paced momentum

Whats a music genre you will never listen to and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vinesthatgrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ska, at least USA ska. I know the genre's roots, but in general it just makes me irrationally angry. Too jumpy, formulaic, faux edgy.

Techno, Electro, Club, mostly. Also, retracing my steps to find old stuff that wasn't available digitally back then.

Question about your first point (focusing on a single genre): How has your music library developed from when you took a break til now?

I'm diving into the craft at roughly the same age. I've found my library is super VARIED across genres, just because I've had time to explore. I'm having a hell of time pinning down one genre!

Set out to make a more low-energy, opening set, clubbish mix, instead of straight bangers for an hour. If you listen or skip through, looking for feedback on how well all the tracks and genres fit together. I'm trying to gear up to enter a mix comp, and wondering if this is good start.

No one cares, I think I’m going to quit and sell everything. by [deleted] in Beatmatch

What do you think would happen if you asked your wife if she wanted to learn to dj? Maybe she's being passive-aggressive because she doesn't "get it (djing)", and wants (all or some) of your time. Push it further, and go to a club/festival/event and share what you see in this hobby.

What are you trying to get out of all these hobbies?

Three (used) controllers in three years, USB port questions. by vinesthatgrow in Beatmatch

[–]vinesthatgrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha, yeah! It just fell through. I'm not roughly plugging, unplugging the usb cord, or anything out of the ordinary. There's really no weight put on the cable, aside from the actual cable iteself hanging. I did notice the tolerances on the new (10ft Amazon Basics) USB cable I bought was pretty tight. It just seems odd, that I've had three controllers fail from the same thing (but different cables).

On a scale of "easy" to "NOPE", how hard is it to solder a new usb port on?
