Hahaha...562 represent motherfucker!

Free streaming now available! If you don't wanna buy it, at least rock the fuck out to it. But buy it after the rocking is done smile

For the record, there's some blast on three of the seven tracks tongue

I'm gonna fuck y'all's shit up I think.

I can't play the show I was going to play this night due to gear issues so I'll for sure be at this!
If I can get a ride with anyone in the San Diego crew that would be boss, if not I'll hitchhike or something.

I use a GBC. I just embrace the whine and the hum. Livin' on the edge.
But in all seriousness, I actually like a little bit of hum in GB recordings. In some cases, because as listed above, BGB is pretty damn accurate, the hum is the only way I can tell something was recorded from hardware. And it's like vinyl crackle or the bit of noise you'll get from recording something on analog equipment, it's just nice. If it's distracting that's one thing, but, especially if using a prosound mod on a DMG, it should never be THAT bad. EMBRACE THE HUM!

Haha man, this is somewhat off topic, but MIDI Tracker is how I first started writing music...when I was a teenager I just wanted to make electronic music and I knew the Midi format from downloading video game music, so I just looked for a way to make Midi files, and found that piece of shit. So buggy. And I knew nothing at all so I thought the tracker interface was just how all people made music with computers. When I actively started writing real chip music it made it an easy transition though smile

i used to rock the behringer xenyx 1202fx...it was alright for recording, the only effect that was worth a shit was one of the reverb settings...playing out, i think the second show I ever used it at the volume slider broke off in my pretty uncrowded gig bag, so i had to adjust the volume using a pin...then gradually channels stopped working and the fucking thing would just suddenly lose power for no reason...so i destroyed it on stage at a show in san diego like some shitty punk guitarist would his guitar...people liked it.

now, i use the numark x6. i fucking love it. the effects are fantastic enough that i've stopped using the mini kp live...my game boy colors sound good thru it too. the advantage i find with dj mixers is that now i like to beat match, queue something up on the other game boy and switch back and forth between which beat is playing to create new beats, cool tricks like that...when transitioning between tracks it makes it easier to cut the volume too because i can just slide left or right, when dealing with a knob based mixer receiving two mono signals, that was a pain in the ass to adjust in real time while manipulating something on another gb...

bought my plane tickets yesterday!

this is going to be so fucking good.
