Hahahahha that is classic. Nice vid too, I would have loved to be around in those days, sure I was born in the wrong generation. I’ve probs got about 2000 vinyls all from 1990-1996 lol I was 7 when they stopped making the music I collect haha
It was some of the most memorable nights of my life.

The last E I had was in Amsterdam on the millennium New year, that was also the last time I had mushrooms but not the same night gawd I need to get back there I loved Amsterdam!

I was a audiophile fan I used to collect a lot of older vinyl 70's early 80s mostly, the classic stuff like David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Supertramp and Fleetwood Mac etc, at the weekends I'd go into Town and work around all the 2nd hand record shops I could manage + the charity shops they can yeild some treasures to.

Aw that’s brilliant mate, I’ve got a few fleetwood mac n pink floyd lps at my mothers house, my dad has a proper hifi and belt driven turntable so I listen to those there for better sound. I especially like Peter greens fleetwood mac for some easy listening, but Lindsay and Stevie made a huge contribution so their music is also up there with my favourites.

Fuck me sounds like most of you have been a needle away from bag head status lmao.

I’ve been smoking weed since around 14 (42 now) during my DJ’ing days I liked E’s, whizz and Charles.

brown speckled playboys/mitsubishis were some of my favourites.

never really been a pill popper other than doing a few Tamazi’s here and there and some mushrooms when Mates had them etc.

New home for the girls. Over the next couple weeks they’re gonna be getting cloned scrogged stripped, and when I eventually pull my finger out and set the 2 600 cool tubes up they’ll be getting flipped. Might even throw another led in the Center of the 2 cool tubes but I’ll have to check for space once I get my ducts sorted.
Is it the pic or is your tent white inside?

Eta oh I see its a bud box, I was looking at the pro a couple of weeks back I like the white interior.

The white interiors are where it’s at mate, I’ve had a few, my last one was the homebox ambient with a more glossy inner and beige on outside.8D919BD5-8DEF-4154-93A4-410C841A170D.jpeg

in my experience the room runs cooler because IR radiation (heat) is able to pass through the white inner, whereas Mylar and the like reflect it back into the room.

The bud box has a matte white inner, and it’s a strange material compared to what I’m used to but I absolutely love the doors, being able to open it up all the way round 3 sides from a zip at the centre of the front makes it really user friendly

Jungle and drum and bass
Funky house
Progressive house
Euphoric trance
And some techno.

Don’t dabble anymore.

my highlights were playing alongside the likes of Matt Hardwick, Scott Bond, Sonny Wharton and a few others I can’t even remember lol.
Good to see we’ve got some hobbies other than growing haha
Jungle, drum and bass and reggae for me. Definitely got some love for 90’s house too.

I used to have 1210’s but moved overseas and donated them to a mate because the postage was nuts.
Ended up grabbing a new pair of reloop RP- 4000’s basically old technics!
Bought one of the pricey technic mk7’s to check out but weren’t happy with how much plastic they used and the weights not there so it’s boxed up in the shed.
I still hunt discogs for gems as it’s about the only place to buy from for me.

Yeah I should’ve just bought 1200mk2s but I was impatient, I do like the pitch fader on the mk7for being digital but there are dead spots on the fader at either end. The plastic puts me off too if I’m honest vs mk2 but they’re a pretty solid unit still, I especially like the pla
The re loops are digi pitch too aren’t they?

deffo on the discogs none stop hahahaha

You not find you preferred the analogue pitches of yesteryear to the modern digital versions?
100% mate. I just couldn’t justify the cost ofshipping my old 1210’s and vinyl to Australia.
There weren’t any decent pairs I could find here at the time so bought the reloops as the next best thing.

You know it mate, rare as hens teeth.

The closest I’ve seen are some of the refurbished pairs coming out of Japan, there’s still some mixed reviews about the condition they actually arrive in, but I’m sure you could hunt about and find a decent pair.

I think there’s a fella in London with a YouTube called just technics. He refurbs and sells the odd pair and is extremely knowledgeable.
