Haha. Like riding a bike though really ennit. After a while off, I found that the beat matching was the first thing to come back, then nailing phrasing without having to really think about it (I’m sure that it could just be luck, but it feels like I’m getting luckier) and the hardest of all I’m finding is just track selection - especially when I’m mixing out of Spotify rather than records, but that feels the best of all to get that right.
Suv is a great producer. Don’t know that one. Love War & Peace.
Damn, shame about the needles. I have many jack adaptors if you happen to be localish (E17) I can shove one through your letterbox on my next ride.

I can't remember if I have put this one here before, but here goes

My decks have been in my twin boys' room, untouched (or so I thought) for the past 10 years or so. In lockdown boredom at the weekend, I connected everything together and cleaned off a thick layer of dust.
First record to hand was SUV, but it turns out my styli had both been mullered by kids. Shure M477s. Gutted. I found the spare set I thought I had, and managed to listen and have a mix.
Although the jack for my headphones is MIA so I had to do it by ear, next to the record. 10 yrs without having a mix doesn't do wonders for your beat matching, especially without headphones.
