Hello my name is DJ im the site host and moderator. Im new to the whole (blog) thing but im sure i will get it all down in time. Any way the point of this site is to share my likeness of music, mainly house music with others who share my same interests.




check out this video from "reflect".






I plan to include many types of music in discussion here; not just "house".

I plan to cover everything from house and dance, to trance and even eighties dance,

and old skool funk; which will be the focus of the blog in following weeks.

Next week will be my tribute to music from the 80s mainly. I will take the time to
reflect on some of the best artists in history from my childhood and yours,
covering everything from "simple minds, to "evelyn champagne king".


And now a discussion of audio equipment. It seems over the past few years that audio systems as a whole and the recording industry have moved to digital on a large
scale. good. but. computers? sure there were standalone cd recorder units back
in the day now it's computer recording on all levels. If you aren't computer literate
and you're a dj, you better start learning the ropes. As more & more audio, especially dj equipment is outfitted for computers if you don't know computers you might as well throw your equipment away. Sure i know it sounds awful but its the truth. At
present atleast 45% of all audio equipment is capable of interfacing with computers;
And over the next few years i promise those numbers will climb much higher(more like 90%).

Now while computers open new doors for audio such as high resolution recording
they're also a pitfall in some instances. For one you just cant compare audio digital-
effects software on a computer with a hardware digital effects console. for the simple
reason computer software programs do nothing but read algorithms in order to create effects such as reverb or compression. And theyre awful sounding at best.
while with hardware effects units well, they have more integrated circuitry probably because they were specifically built for audio processing and they work not just on the idea of algorithms but real-time oscillations to produce their profound sound.
So theres the good and the bad. Dont throw away your turntables and cry over this.
After all, vinyl kept its place even in the new digital market of the 90's and still thrives today. I have newmark's and i love em.

try to familiarize yourself with audio/computer hardware it will open many new doors for you. There are also some great tutorials online and some books that can help you
with subjects like "computer audio, and sound engineering, such as; the book
(understanding audio)available from "berkely press" online and is written by "Daniel
M Thompson. This book is also available from borders books. It doesn't get in to computer's much but it gives a clear explanation of electrical theory as well as standard hardware such as mixers . as well as a beginning tutorial on midi etc.
One book that will help alot with audio/video software and hardware is (practical
recording techniques) written by "Bruce and Jenny Bartlet". and is available through
"focal press online or borders books.

In the near future i plan to post a contact-email for hi fidelity sound for people who are having trouble with their audio/video systems we will help. Unfortunately
I know when this begins there will be too many requests to cover them all and we will
only be able to handle a few at a time . But we will try to get to as many as we can.

well as I promised my focus of the next few weeks will be ;"A blast from the past". A tribute to the eighties. Well here it is , my favorite track of the eighties.............

"tears for fears" brings back my best memories of my past. "everybody wants to rule the world". A song that's never left my mind, and
probably never will.

And we cant forget about the queen of funk herself "evelyn champagne king"..
