Hi there folks!
I am Ian
and I am a DJ (BitchMixer) and Vinyl collector in my spare time. Music is
really my kind a thing to keep myself busy. My main preference is electronic
music, other styles like Ska, Latin, Rock and Soul are also much appreciated. This
blog will be my spot to share experiences, talk about music, review new stuff
and Vinyl.
Currently I
live in Antwerp, Belgium. Yes that’s right! An excellent location surrounded
with the best dance scenes. We have the harder styles and “Dutch/Dirty house”
from the Netherlands, Techno and Minimal from Germany, the French house scene
from France and the Dubstep/DnB scene from the UK. This results in an interesting
mix of styles and influences in one small country.
I have been
playing records in my bedroom since I am 14 years old. Bought myself back then
my first turntables and started spinning records. When I reached the age of 21 I
started using Serato scratch live. When I go out to play I drag along my laptop
and my Serato scratch. My Vinyl records
stay safe at home. Scratch live was a
good invention for me because it satisfies my need for “Vinyl Feeling” but also
makes my collection “Portable” to drag along.
Despite my switch
from vinyl to the digital world I still keep on expanding my collection. These days a lot of people switched to the
digital solution for DJ’ing, this creates a big amount of second hand records
that are unused. The result? Golden second hand deals! For me there is nothing
better than being able to play with real vinyl records. It has this special
feeling and has a vintage touch.
So, you
collect vinyl records but actually you only play them at home? Yes indeed! It is
a hobby like any other. There is nothing more charming then having a vinyl
collection and play those records on a turntable compared to the hard disk
which hold all music.
For the
fellow Vinyl collectors, I guess you people know Discogs – if not, please take
a look at it – the most complete music database supported by a big community of
music freaks. You guys can find me there as the user PunkDudez. This is
also my main platform to find second hand records.
This was a
small introduction of me and my interests. I hope you enjoy reading my posts in
the future and if any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me on
my email or Facebook.
