This entry was posted on by

On the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas Cruise ship out in the middle of the Caribbean somewhere…

So I had to bust out my portable…

I’m loving the movement and direction of Portablism scene. The whole point is to scratch anywhere and have fun!

Mixfader has added ot the scene by creating a bluetooth wireless crossfader and now you can use timecode vinyl

w/o a soundcard like Serato or Traktor!

Using the Edging Scratch App for iPhone along w/ my Vestax Handytrax and Mixfader…

(Since my vestax doesn’t have a USB output, I had a RCA to USB converter attached).

Diving into DJing on the Disney Fantasy

This entry was posted on by

On the Disney Fantasy Cruiseship, I get to share my knowledge of DJing to the teens onboard at the teen only club – The Vibe. We usually have a regular 2 turntable setup w/ a mixer and teach the teens Scratching… Well, in my past experiences in teaching DJing and scratching to newbies, I found that after a couple of minutes they tend to lose interest.

So by implementing my Traktor Kontrol S4 and laptop, I get to relate to the kids w/ the songs that they’re currently listening to and show them a real-life scenario of how I would mix, scratch and manipulate them by showing them the basics.

It basically went from a couple of minutes of interest into over an hour and not enough time to teach them DJing…

Now, if it was up to me, I would have them learn on turntables… but w/ the heavy hands of newbies resulting in constant skipping of the record and other issues w/ turntables… I found that we could progress much faster in the given time that was allowed…
