Storage for your vinyl records

Lets look at some good storage for your vinyl. I found a couple of different options.

1. The ikea kallax bookshelf. This one is budget friendly. Its price is the lowest in the guide. at 499 kr or (49euro) Almost every(bigger) town has a Ikea. easy to assemble, minimal design. available in 7 colors.

The dimensions are 77x147cm with 8 sections.

They also show on their webpage the bookshelf horizontaly, with LP records stored in it with an recordplayer ontop. So the dimension will have room for the size of a LP record.

The material is a blend of different papermaterials. Even if the weight is low it looks sturdy.

2.Zomo VS-box space Ive chosen this one, not strictly competeing with the ikea bookshelf. Instead a complete different variant. Its tilted. Made out of MDF material. comes in different colors. It looks like it can hold about 50 LP records. The pricetag is 89 euros. So you get a variant that holds less records in expense of the special design.

3.Glorious - Turntable lowboard. A complete furniture. looks like something you have at a office waiting room in the 60's (but in exclusive design). It holds a recordplayer and approx 50 records. It has legs. Material is mdf wood. Price is 270 euros. Beautiful piece of furniture in elegant design.

4. Zomo recordcase rp50 xt silver Last lets look at this recordcase. Perhaps you just want a storage you can take to a gig and a lp box at home. It holds 50 records. Has a key for locking. foam interieur. 69 euros. Perfect companion when gigging with records.

Add some vocals to your mix.

Add some vocals to your set. With a microphone you can easily add flavor to a mix. You can use the vocals to transition to another track, with a small paus between the songs you can drop the vocal just before the next song comes in. Most DJ-mixers have a microphone input. But make sure not to overdrive the microphone when speaking, or the sound might go into cheap karaoke style. There are useful techniques when speaking into a microphone by holding your thumb inbetwen the microphone membrane and your mouth, this is to reduce the "pop" sound or just by turning the mic at a 45 degree angle. Using these techniques will make your vocals sound cleaner. Have a notepad with some words are maybe rhymes written on it, just to know what to say when you want to drop the vocals. If mixing and speaking is not possible at the same time, then wait until after you transitioned the track into the other, the intro to the next track is often not as busy as a Chorus section. Also do speak

DJ Rasoul 1998 (Large)

DJ Rasoul 1998 (Large) Super record from the later end of the 90's. This EP has 3 songs, Let the music, Slingshot and Francisco Nights. Side A with "Let the music" has a dark bassline and acoustic piano, togheter with strings and the classic house rythm. Dub echos and analogue synth sounds. The song isnt just a 4-bar loop. It has lots of variations. In the middle of the song a soul vocal is heard. Also percussive elements. The later end of the song seams happier, like the minor chords are swapped with major scale instead. What I dont like about this song is the tb303 "like"-sounds towards the end. It gives the impression of a comedy sound. On side B on "Slingshot" the quality is high on the production. With groovy basslines and arpeggio-like elements. The rythm is more disco on this song. 1/3-into the song the loopy groove evolves with a acoustic piano. Then 2/3- the song goes back to the loopy status again. I like this song, its groovy and has catchy

using as few records as possible in your dj mix

Most of us wants to have a giant record collection, but when a gig is coming then you have to carry all the records to the show. This article is about using minimum amount of records in a dj mix. Lets say you play a 2 hour dj show. that means you need +- 50 records in a crate. If you only have 10 records, would you make it thru a dj mix then? If a housesong is aprox 6 min long and you want to make a 60 minute dj mix. then you'll need 10 records for the dj set. 10 records is not much for a mix. What you can do is mix in the b sides too, but then the same artist will appear again in the playlist. You can also play certain songs to the 3 minute point, then mix in another record and then a few song in the set you can reuse the previous song from the 3 minute point again, from a break of the song. Or play the best song first and last to extend it. Playing both the b-sides and reuse the same song as earlier will stretch the length of your mix. Buying an EP costs about the same as a 12&q
