Everyone's a DJ nowadays

Is there a go-to, second-hand, not 1210 money direct drive turntable? I’m going through another phase (seems to hit every 10 years) where I think I need decks again.

Ha! First set: 2002-2007; second set 2013-2017.

I went cheap new and bought the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB to 'replace' my Technics. Does the job, but obviously not the same build quality. But at £150 new, you can't go wrong.

These are meant to be good. Not used myself

Saw those, does it feel wafty? Does the speed seem consistent?

Thanks, but was hoping for £400 all in 🤞

Yep, a bit 'wafty' - definitely not as torque-y as a Technics - but adequate. Would I play out with them? Probably not. They're £150 for a reason. But the speed does seem consistent to me.

I'd be tempted by those reloops at £250 a pop at Juno, though.

Ah, yeah, fair.

BTW, if anyone's after a controller, I've got one going begging.

See here for more details.

As mentioned up thread, looking to try and figure out DJing ambient/downtempo/chillout stuff.

Here’s a first attempt for anyone that likes that sort of stuff.

Pye Corner Audio - Subterranean Lakes
Pye Corner Audio - Toward Light
Pye Corner Audio - Electronic Rhythm Number Three
Mark Franklin - Release The System
F.U.S.E - Theychx
Boards of Canada - Sick Times
Pye Corner Audio - Ganzfeld Effect
Pye Corner Audio - Theme Number Four
I.A.O - The Clan
Lab Rat XL - Lab Rat 3
F.U.S.E - Mantrax
Aphex Twin - Tha
Speedy J - Fill 3

I'm thinking of switching out my old Pioneer DJM600 for an Allen & Heath Xone PX5. Does anyone have any real life experience of these mixers? I'll be using it for 95% vinyl but want some effects like the pioneer gave me. The filter would be a bonus too. As well as better sounding mixes.

Also any links to DJ shops that have discount codes or would be likely to have upcoming sales would be appreciated. Cheapest I've found is £1100.

Something I recorded last autumn but haven't shared here yet.

Really amazing track. I am currently rediscovering a lot of 90s house. Was a bit too young back then...

https://www.mixcloud.com/swerviofablorez/ygs-table-study-live-mix-4242014/ It was improvised so there are def a few repeats and I realize this in the mix. Enjoy

I’ve just spotted this thread - mixer and pair of studio monitors for sale here:
