What?? No Show Last Night??
Those of us DJs who are dependent on using turntables have been suffering grief over the past few months with some of the faulty equipment at our radio station. Turntables that aren’t properly grounded (making a low-frequency audible “hum” sound over the air); a mixer whose headphone cue no longer worked (meaning we can’t listen to the next songs that we are trying to play before you hear it over the air and, therefore, can’t blend beats seamlessly into the next song); other things that makes us wonder if people treat said equipment like toys.
In any event, the equipment seems to be close to being fixed. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a setback for me. I was planning on doing the seven-year anniversary of Urban Landscapes with a special old-school funk/soul show. All of my planned music were on vinyls, which was why in the end I’ve had to cancel the show. The plan now is to the do the show outside of the live confines, then post it online in a few days’ time. So that’s how I shall do it. I would have brought in my own gear had I known that we are still in the grips of that particular issue, but so it goes.
My live Saturday mix show, Wheels of Steel, is also back for another quarter. Due to plans, though, the show will start one week from this evening. I also plan on starting to archive the show online this quarter, and hopefully I’ll figure things out very soon.
Not many people know of this blog just yet, but in the weeks and months to come I shall shake things up a bit. For now, it’s time to start my day (however late it is…that’s why there’s sleep-ins). Stay good!
