Cool. :) An all-breaks week-end. ;) This should be great.

No, not at Gravity. :)

Ça va être vraiment nice!

I'll be there. Yay.

T'as trouvé une chaise Ben? :)

Cool Seb! Respect to the IDJ crew. :)

Awesome flyer once again. Thanks Dinja!

Je vais aller me chercher un autographe de Fu Ancko!

Tu n'y vas plus Eve?

Haha: "While the unit is designed primarily as a professional field recorder and songwriter's notebook, it will also be embraced by other markets including business, education and worship."

*drools*

Pat, ta signature commence vraiment à être vieille. :)

Interesting idea.

I made a more "electro-dancefloor-friendly" version. :)

What have you guys come up with?

Are there Windows XP drivers available for this card? If there are, I might be interested.

I'll be playing from 7 until ? (who knows when it will end). :)
Thanks for the warm welcome Seb. ;)

Chic and groovy as usual. :)

By the way, it's free. :)

Should be a lot of fun!

Break The Session

Décrochez de la routine au son de la musique Break/Electro de Dj Omni et des images de Vj Homing. Soyez témoins de la complicité de ces deux artistes qui se connaissent depuis plus de huit ans. Comme Vj Homing est lui-même un passionné lui aussi de musique Break & Electro et DJ Omni de la video. Vous pourrez vous attendre à une totale cohésion dans l’improvisation!

Break away from the routine with the Break/Electro music of Dj Omni and the visuals of Vj Homing. You’ll witness the complicity of those two artists that met more than 8 years ago. VJ Homing being himself a lover of Break & Electro, and DJ Omni of video, you can expect a total cohesion in the improvisation.

DJ OMNI : Jonathan Côté
Passionné de musique depuis qu'il existe, c'est son amour pour la musique électronique qui attira son attention sur le rôle du DJ et qui le mena éventuellement sur le chemin de la scène rave. Très occupé dans ce milieu depuis bientôt trois ans, il se fit notamment remarquer en tant que résident des soirées Electro Shock et lors des événements des productions Akarien. Il a également eu la chance de jouer à Apocalypse des Productions Ray Junior. En constante évolution, le style musical de DJ Omni est assez varié mais ce sont les sonorités breakbeat et electro qui prédominent chez lui tout en gardant des influences du rock, de l’industriel et même du trance. Le mix session sera donc une occasion pour lui de se laisser aller avec un set éclectique qui se mariera certainement avec le style de VJ Homing qui l’est tout autant.

Passionate about music since he was born, it’s his love for electronic music that brought his attention on he role of the DJ and eventually led him to the rave scene. Very busy on that side for the past three years, he has been noticed as a resident of the Electro Shock nights and in events organized by Akarien Productions. He also had the chance to play at Rayjunior Productions’ Apocalypse. Always evolving, DJ Omni’s style is quite varied but the breakbeat and electro sounds stay at the forefront while keeping influences from rock, industrial and even trance. The mix session will be a chance for him to go all out with a very eclectic set that will certainly go hand in hand with VJ Homing’s style.

VJ HOMING : Antoine Quirion Couture

Bio : Antoine est issu de la génération multimédia. Pour lui la manipulation d'images, de vidéos, la création web et l'habillage visuel sont innées. Ayant fait plus de 3 ans d'improvisation théâtrale, c'est toujours derrière les machines que sa créativité spontanée s'exprime le mieux. Cherchant une nouvelle façon de vivre à travers la scène de la musique électronique, Il en conclut que la meilleure façon de devenir acteur était d'offrir ses visuels.

Style : Pour Antoine, les visuels sont là pour supporter la musique. Ils sont synchro, nets, clairs, assez épurés. Parfois même humoristiques.

Bio: VJ Homing is from the multimedia generation. To him, image & video manipulation , web creation, and visual creation are natural. He has done over 3 years of theatrical impro... but it has always been behind the machines that his spontaneous creativity has been expressed the best. Tired of only being a spectator of the electronic music scene, he realized that the best way to participate actively in the scene was by offering his visuals.
Style: For Vj homing the visuals are there to support the music. His visuals are clear, and always synchronized to the music.

Hope to see some of you guys there! :)

Demain!

Prime-time tag team with Maxxx for the first time. This should be quite the experience. :)

Will spin for beer. :)

I was saying that because the two songs you mentioned are on it.

Heh, RedVodka, have you been listening to my last breaks mix? ;)

Weeh!

Before mixing, I never really understood why a DJ would only put one ear on the headphones and literally break his neck in the process. However, I have found myself using this technique most of the time and it has nothing to do with "looking cool". For me, it's all about the balance between the headphones sound and the monitors. Some people like to mix entirely in the headphones, but some like to use the monitors as well. At some point during a mix, I usually want to have a perfect balance between the sound of the monitors and the sound of the headphones. I also like to make this balance vary a little bit to better see if the tracks are well "locked". The fastest way to do this is simply to get my ear closer or farther away from one of the ears of the headphones, this giving me the "I want to look cool" look. However, I do this purely for practical reasons.

See you on the 20th! :)

I have a P3 733...

My computer is pretty old-school by today's standards (I have a 733 mhz) and I still think Reason 3 is well worth the upgrade.

There's a few times where the CPU load got a little out of hand and I could not understand where that was coming from, but hitting STOP and PLAY again would solve the problem. Appart from this, it's been going well for me.

It's still worth it to upgrade to 3.0. The mastering tools themselves make the whole thing worth it.

I would just like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that helped to make Electro Shock what it was. The way that this party was saved and then turned into an awesome gathering of cool people reminds us of what can be done when we all work together as a team. So many people got involved to help out and make this a great night for all of us.

Thanks again!

Psytrance is quite hard to find on vinyls. I have a few here, but if you want to play psytrance, you might want to use CDs.
