Introduce yourself

Hello everyone!
MMM here. Selector since 1988. Traveled, recorded, released, radio, stream, explosions? I’ve done that. But it’s all about the love of music. All kinds! I like to see heart and soul in someone’s set. Vinyl warms the soul. Digital is practical. Find your balance and share it. I hope to discover new listeners and excited to be on as well. You can find me on all the usual platforms with a live show on Friday and Saturday nights. Say hello if you see me around.

Hi i’m a Dj & Music Producer from England. I’ve worked in music for over 10 years on various levels, currently work for a Pro audio and line array company spraying speakers.
Im into a wide range of music but i only dj and produce underground dance music or freeparty style tunes. My motherboard in my Denon 8000 blew up and ive had a long wait to get it fixed but i finally have a fully serviced set up again, including my 1210’s, i’m new to streaming but i’ve used the software streaming music projects during music production tuition so it should be pretty simple. Prominently play Techno, Acid, hardtrance, Hardstyle, Progressive, Psy, minimal, D’n’B, Breaks, Hardtek and Electro. My soundcloud is out of date due to the denon falure and lack of companies that would fix it, now im back running im going to be on the case, i have 20 tracks coming out soon but everything is offline til launch, https://soundcloud.com/harrykevlar/sets/mixes

Emory- TH4T 3V0L 50UND- 41 yo - Been DJing for 21+ y th4t3v0l50und.com for complete bio and socials-I’ve had some self created set backs and some mysterious health issues throw a wrench into my plans. Mainly a strange neuro condition which has halted all scratch competing, driven me more into midi/controller DJing and made me get creative about booking. In the end it doesn’t matter. I’m music obsessive and the only thing that could prob stop me is simply death. I book as a bass genre DJ but I can’t call myself that. I love ALL genres and sub genres. Some more than others (not digging on mumble rap a lot) but my usual go to in this area is I only find legit hate rock (race power, etc) and modern day pop country the only sounds I don’t like. I love old country and I believe almost every genre can be linked together in the end. I feel if you don’t like a genre or what gets me moving…that’s cool. I hope you can still respect me or what I like and discuss things. I have seen genres and scenes bloom and I love learning about what came before me and the birth of almost all music culture but mainly DJ culture. I have no super star DJ goals. I became realistic years ago and said I’d be happy if 25-50% of my income came from music. This past year I’ve seen an increase in my following and I’m beyond satisfied and startled with what I’ve achieved. I’m not stopping here though. I’ll take it as far as I can. I’ve held residencies in my home town of PGH, Pa, USA, Philadelphia, Pa, NYC and Skopje, Macedonia. I’ve been streaming for about 5 years now and I’m a little sour it’s taken covid to make DJs a viable source of stream entertainment but better late than never. I teach DJ theory(not beat matching. Any one can do that) to a host of the younger gen. Even though I’m on a limited income I’ve set up 2 up and comers with serato licenses and some lower level controllers to help them out. I did this for two reasons. #1 I’ve been an artist my whole life in one form or another and believe artists should lift each other up since so many want to tear us down. #2 my sister and an amazing group of friends saw my potential and something in my musical insanity so they pooled their money together and got me my first pair of Technic 1200. That will never leave me and I’ll never be able to repay that debt so I do my best to help the young ones and the ones that have a tight budget. After all. Music in all its forms is an expensive friggin passion. Looking forward to seeing what this is about.:metal:

Probably one of the only goth and post punk DJ’s here, would have celebrating 35 years this year and had the tour booked and sorted, now that’s cancelled I’m livestreaming until we can get back out again. Mostly working overseas festivals and clubs these days, lucky to have built a reputation that has seen me tour the US and Europe and play some of the biggest festivals for my genres, and work with some of the biggest bands.

Currently using Twitch but came here looking for a new site, only it seems impossible to do so without an invite, so if anyone would like to invote me… :wink:

I just wanted to take another moment and apologize for joining and sorta going rogue MIA. The fun thing about me is I think life gets crazier as I age. Aren’t we all supposed to mellow? At the moment things are a little more chaotic than I like but I’d love to be part of this platform and I’m in no real rush (even though I love playing) to stream. If you have patience with the chaos of my life I’ll continue to put in my time and earn my right to broadcast. The only real thing that will be expected is just a little bit of gaps between visits. I’ll always return and there will be a time when I will most likely be on here daily. For the moment I just want to make sure those in charge understand things and if it’s not to their liking they can remove me earlier than later. I’m sure a lot of my email reminders to be active are auto generated reports Or whatever. I feel being upfront and saying things that might not always be needed but clarify are good. :metal:

A post was split to a new topic: Embedding live events

Hi. My name is Zirk, aka Haydecey, aka slekriZ. I am a 40 + yr old bedroom DJ from South Africa Johannesburg who started off in the 90’s as a hobby for the love of music. My go to tunes are DnB. DJing grabbed a hold of me since the 1st time I lay’'d my eyes on a DJ spinning some tracks at my 1st rave. I am an IT mechanic myself in the networking field and have only recently decided to spin some tracks with some of my old time friends for the masses. Never did a live set in a club but, have done 2 live streams so far and rather enjoyed it. This looks like an awesome idea, so thanks for thinking up something like this and making it a reality. Thumbs up for that. I think for many this is the platform to go especially when it is a bit hard to get into the game.
I have my 1st video on my page (https://www.facebook.com/SlekriZ-113700267076422). Check it out.

Hi there! I’m Luca LoFi. I’m an all vinyl house DJ based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The thing I’m most checking out this site for is seeing if the company I work for, Remix Audio Bar, can utilize this site for our 6 day per week live stream programming, seeing as Twitch now no longer allows recorded music as of today. My employer, Remix Audio Bar, is a small coffee and specialized drink venue with a focus on DJing and electronic music education. As far as we know, we’re the first of our kind in the USA. Check us out here.

I’ve been DJing for about 7 years now and just recently made the switch over to vinyl. It really just feels better to me. Hope to get acquainted with you all!

Greetings from Hollywood California…
And no, it"s not that pleasant here in sunny southern California at the moment, unfortunately. So name is Barry; and I DJ/Perform now as AstralDust.
Once upon a time, II started/learned how to DJ old-skool beat-mix on vinyl, after i had just moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1996 to attend ASU. I was influenced with electronic music the previous several years while living in Florida; where the first big mega-raves were starting to go off on the U.S. East Coast. I recall attending the 1st annual
“Zen Festival” at the Central Florida fairgrounds back in 1992, where i vividly remember seeing Sascha & Digweed playing together during their first time in the United States. For the most part, i spin TechHouse, Drum n Bass, DeepTech and House, and have just started to get into producing. I also play bass guitar, so anything and everything i encompass is ambitiously musically influenced, derived, motivated, and driven. Cause after all - “It’s all about the music”.
Anyway, i dropped out of school at ASU and moved to Los Angeles in 1999 where i landed a job at DMC Records on Melrose, and was fortunate enough to connect with few solid promoters and mesh fluidly into the dj scene there to the point in which i was playing enough gigs to actually pay my rent with Dj revenue for 2-3 years. At points in time i held residencies at the “Exchange” in DTLA, the “Catch One” on Pico Blvd, and the swanky “Foundation Room” atop the late great House of Blues on Sunset Blvd. As well, i was signed with Terrence Toy’s “HouseVibes” label during that period. This was in the very early 00’s, when Terence Toy, along with Tony Largo and Marques Wyatt, had residencies at LA’s longest running (still to date) afterhours - "“DYMK” (Does Your Mama Know) at the famous Coconut Teaser’s on Sunset Blvd and Crescent Heights.
That all being said, here’s where it gets kinda interesting via the dynamics that can happen at any given time in Los Angeles (specifically living in Hollywood for over 20 years). So everything seemed to be going rather smoothly and going to plan as far as continuing and progressing as a Dj during this initial phase. At about the time of 2004-2005, when DJ’s & electronic music were at the early initiation of becoming mainstream, along with the first wave of digital Dj gear and media players being produced; I became entangled in a profound sequence of twisted events and circumstances (beyond the scope of discussion here) in which almost overnight, i found myself fully incorporated male talent as part of the adult video industry, which continued on for 12 years until 2016. (For clarification “Yes”, i was full blown doing the total Porn Star thing, performed in hundreds of scenes with all major companies/productions, nominated for 5 AVN awards, and blah blah blah). I’ll digress there, if that sounds intriguing, then you can message me privately and i can answer any questions, give ya a link to my IMDB, etc. But this isn’t the platform for discussion beyond that, obviously. Lol. So I can’t say that i’m necessarily proud of it any of it, and very rarely do mention it anymore, as i have always tried to remain humble and remember that it’s not always about me. Sometimes i even forget i even was embedded in that industry for such a long time. I am thankful and have gratitude, and as i look back in retrospect it was transitional period in life which i learned some very deep things about myself, other people, and about life. All within a positive narrative.
The point being, with that said, being side-tracked and imbued into the world of the adult industry indefinitely put a significantly progressive pause with my love and ambition of music and becoming a Dj. Obviously i tried to stay with it, and i still occasionally played some vinyl on the 2 decks and mixer i always kept and would never let go of, but ultimately i couldn’t balance the DJ vs PornStar lifestyles, and for the most part, via the digital dj movement increasing, i was pretty much left in the dust. Not complaining, but was just quite challenging, being in the adult biz making much more money, trying to focus or commit to anything other.
Nevertheless, i still kept all my records and would play them occasionally and in 2016 when i checked outta the biz, i was a bit behind regarding the digital dj era, and chose to go back to school and completed my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degrees in 2018.
Fast forward a 1.5 years, and out of the woodwork emerges a pandemic that changes everything and will alter the world for years to come indefinitely. Out of all the unfortunate, sadness, and misery it has created all over the world, i did notice early an inevitable change taking place in regard to music related events and venues. Not just electronic festivals and Dj’s but ALL music aspects. It wasn’t even possible to walk up to the Hollywood Bowl and see the LA Philharmonic perform Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.6 in B minor.
People still love music and want to hear it, watch it, see it and listen in. As a repercussion, we see the concept of online streaming performance become quite significant and start to take off. Unless one was already a huge world class star Dj, this drastic switch to streaming as a performance, from my perspective, was basically a reset for all other of the majority of DJ’s around the world. It’s almost like - everyone back to the starting line with most having a fair an even chance in which to succeed (even if just by enjoyment/satisfaction determinant on one’s definition of succeed), so i determined if there was anytime to dive back into the one thing that i love the most, now would be the time.
So i took a few thousand dollars that i had been saving and basically blew all my money on a new equipment & digital dj setup. So i am new to dj streaming, just started a few months ago as i’ve rigorously been practicing and bringing myself up to speed with performing in a digital format/fashion.
I don’t know what’s gonna happen from here on out for me, i just know that i love to play music and share it with others. Anyway, that’s my story; and the concept for the Slipmat platform to seems like a really engaging and promising platform for DJ’s . I very excited to be here.
So let’s always to our best to stay optimistic, have gratitude, be thankful, and respect one another. Big thanks to Uninen for getting this concept up and running started, and thanks to all of you who’ve chosen to be a part of it. Super-cool stuff.

Cheers.
