Really like live at the social too, a lot more hip hop than BGWIO. I bought mine at HMV.co.uk about two years ago and they still have it up there. It's �10.99 http://www.hmv.co.uk...1;-1&sku=559244
It would be absolutely brilliant if the brothers released a new mix - I'd be hapy with anything that had Don't Fight IT, Feel It/OOC on it! Maybe Chemical 6 for the summer, a mix album for Christmas? Wishful thinking! X-D

Live At The Social is my soundtrack to summer 2001, an incredible mix CD. Very hip-hop oriented, unlike BGWIO. There's more breaks on it rather than 4/4 tracks.
which is weird because live at social is my soundtrack for this last summer/fall.....I've had it for 2 years now but it's only recently that I've started to fully apprieciate it.

the anti-nazi mix is a stronger mix than BGWIO imo and don't be forgetting confront your demons

i think the main difference between BGWIO and the other chems mix CDs I've heard is that BGWIO was cut up and mixed on computer. I'd love to hear another mix CD made in that style cos it is so clever - they can do so many things on computer that you can't physically do on a standard set of decks. A Chemical Ableton Live set maybe?

don't think there fans of ableton at all
fair enough, each to their own. I imagine you can do virtually the same kind of studio mix on any sequencer, in fact i wouldn't be surprised if the lads used Logic to sequence BGWIO.
I merely suggested Live cos it's one of the the current tools of choice for studio mixes.
@Jeanie: Ableton Live is software aimed at live DJing and studio producers alike and very very fun to use too ;)

maybe so, but its still good fun. The trick is to make use of the creative capabilities of the medium, which are virtually boundless, but without disappearing up your own arse in a Sasha stylee X-D
Anyway, who cares what format the DJ's spinning in a club? As long as the tuna is good and you're having a good time, that's all that matters.

Jeanie likes vinyl - chicks dig vinyl! 'nuff said! ;)
I agree the end result (people digging the music and having a good time) is the thing that matters most. I can totally see her point and have brought it up and supported it before. It's all opinion rather than educated analysis at this point for me. Spinning vinyl is how it was done way back then, it's tradition or old skool or whatever - it's cool to see that way of getting the music across still generates excitement as well as interest in djing. But on the other hand there's new technology that people can take advantage of. There've been plenty of people with convincing arguments supporting cd or Abelton dj mixing. I don't dj, don't have much an interest in djing - so I don't have the right to judge any one format. Whatever works for the dj is fine by me.

I like to see DJs using CDs and vinyl, as the interaction with the crowd is there. Especially with CDs now you have a great blend of the capabilities of the units and the physical interaction with the crowd.
Digital DJing, like Ableton, doesn't really fire me up in the same visceral way, but the sheer possibilities available to the user make it an incredibly powerful weapon.
For an up-tempo set that introduces me to new tunes and keeps me dancing like a mentalist, I'd prefer a physical medium. But I've heard enough Richie Hawtin stuff and similar to appreciate the depths into my own existence I can crawl into with a properly layered and utilised digital set.

i prefer vynil records. it's a pleasure to manipulate a vynil & scratch. software are fun but perhaps i have an old school dj habitus lol ! strange to me to mix with computers...in fact i don"t like that even i'm sure that it can develop new things or reclaim imagination :

Yeah, it's what me and Rich do - works for us.
irish fan Escribi�:
remember tom on nye saying he prefers playing records than the whole laptop set up as it takes away from the djing
I've gotta disagree with that - it does take away beatmatching, but a) you've still gotta pick the right records & mix them well, and b) it frees up your time for creativity (effects, looping, as well as some live performance)

Hmmm
Personally, I feel vinyl is the fashionable option, and only that. When I tell people I use Ableton they look at me and say "Ah but it's not the real thing, is it? I'd love to know what constitutes "the real thing." I have yet to hear a convincing response. Ableton is truly superb, and blows the potential of live DJ'ing wide open. The tracks are basically putty in the DJ's hands. I think a lot of DJ's feel threatened and maybe even a bit envious by new technologies like Ableton, as they feel you should "earn your stripes" and it allows newcomers to achieve in hours or minutes things that it took them years to perfect and therefore makes some of those skills, well, obsolete!
Granted, said newcomers have to have access to a computer and 500 lids to legally purchase the software, but then DJ'ing was never a cheap endeavour. I think Ableton makes the DJ'ing process a bit more democratic, and complements, rather than conflicts with, more traditional methods of DJ'ing.
