TBF we use these for DJing regularly, but we always stop rotation to cue in of course. I can see they'd be no use for mixing/scratching as they are far too grippy.
-
Having had crimynal slipmats (great quality, accurate printing & fair price) in the past, the only thing I find wrong with that type of slipmat is they can be too 'smooth' and allow discs to slip if you don't use a clamp. Also being a bit too much of a perfectionist for sound quality I did read a few articles which claimed the absolute best mats for protection against slip and sound quality/protection of the vinyl were actually the thick rubber mats that Technics come with originally. So I now use them.
-
Personally I've always felt that if a DJ clears the floor that's perfectly OK initially, but to keep it clear record after record for an entire set is almost certainly the promotors fault in booking a completely unsuitable guest (or resident!). I'm not a fan of 'the dancefloor dictates' or 'look at us -we've sold all the tickets!' type events as the vast majority are simply catering to the least fussy audience. That's perfectly fine if your idea of 'success' is measured in £££s of course. As for advertising events truthfully & clearly -I'm absolutely in favour of that, but all too often the ones that promise they're 'keeping the faith' wouldn't know what 'the faith' was even if it came with a colouring in set & crayons.

A real 'must do' Terrific event. Proper old school authentic WMC. no fancy nonsense here but 24 carat authenticity! decent floor, nicely polished well maintained parquet. Cheapest bar we’ve seen for many years, friendly crew & friendly venue staff too! but it’s the tunes that matter - and we were treated to some of the very best you’ll ever hear! Not just that, but a thoughtful selection of residents & guests whose enthusiastic passion for rare soul shines through. there’s lots of competition in this neck of the woods on every day we found, but those who aren’t prepared to settle for ‘the same old’ will find their journeys amply rewarded by giving this event your time. we’ll be back.

Yes, I think thats one.

Is there anyone who has actually released a previously unreleased VINYL track(s), as in an individual person or a soul club/events organiser? NOT a record company or business, just an individual fan/club of fans. i.e. Where the disc is actually genuinely licensed and regarded as original vinyl, not some random carver/boot or re-hash of a previously recorded track, or a compilation of re-issues. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the 'Soul in the sun' Tommy Hunt disc on 'Loughborough soul club'.
-
As far as I am aware in simple terms you need 2 separate things to make any release legit : 1. The MCPS mechanical license 2. The permission from the present owner of the recorded work(s). If you don't have both then it's not legally anything -issued/reissued, it is a BOOT. Just as I'm an inquisitive sort I've checked the MCPS database and yes, it has been applied for, but is noted as 'unnotified' which means it isn't currently registered on the PRS database for who gets royalties. As for the original works owners it'll be who ever now owns the rights to united records.

There's a lot of truth in that Sarge. I genuinely envy those who really don't care about the music format/policy, the facilities (no dance floor etc), and think they have it all - often local events round the corner and no travelling involved unless it's once a year to 'insert major mainstream event here', they can enjoy themselves and have a party with like minded souls anywhere at any time. It's not for me, although I see the appeal -for people our age it's a safe space of familiar music with (usually) people the same age, often in a social club where bar prices are low enough to make it worth going out.
-
Personally 2 & 3 for us, and if we start to get jaded by hearing 'the same old' we simply start going further afield.

Our 1st time at this new venue for the Swansea mafia. What a hidden gem! Cheap bar, lovely 2 roomed venue -high ceilings great acoustics and the floor! Proper sprung dancefloor -and no one can fail to notice how gorgeous it is! Highly polished, super bouncy and full for the majority of the night too. It was a 2 hour each way slog for us, in the worst weather I've seen in years on the return journey -but worth every mile. Hats off to the Soul Mafia, this is an event worthy of the superb line up and wall to wall proper week in week out soulies that attend. We'll be back.
