I got into electronic music right after High School. (Honestly truth be told I have always been into it when you include groups like NIN and Gravity Kills, to name a few, but I didn't find dance music until post High School)... I went to my first club in 1999, and saw DJ Monk (co-founder of the group Rabbit in the Moon). And he was just too wicked, mixing records, scratching, adding effects, I watched him and watched him, he never stopped moving, he was always doing something tweaking this, adding that. It was an awesome show to watch and hear. I heard and saw all this and I was hooked. I knew I wanted to spin right away, and I had dreams as high as the sky, imagining seeing the world, and meeting new people, and playing in venues in places I never even knew existed. That never happened, but I'm okay with that, I played some open decks and did a few house parties, but mostly I just did what I did, because I enjoyed doing it. When someone asks me for a hero Monk is still the first name that pops into my mind, he introduced me to one of my biggest passions, all thanks to one night all those years ago. I went out bought a Numark all in one package, not long after I had been consumed by the scene and used it awhile until I realized what crap I had, belt drive tables and mixer with a crossfader that jumped in and out as I was mixing. I eventually replaced all that with the setup I currently have which is a pair of Stanton STR8-100's and a Denon DN-X800, later on; I also purchased a Denon DN-F2600 dual disc CD player, which have recently been replaced with a pair of Stanton c.314's. I use Ortofon Concorde Elektro needles and Denon HD-1000 headphones, and I couldn't be more pleased with my setup. I bought the STR8-100's when they very first came out, and the reason I did was because I had become very attached to the key correction function of the CD player, and I thought it would be awesome to have it on my tables too. Unfortunately the key correction on the model I got never really worked all that well, it creates this funny reverb effect. It is so overpowering it is difficult to tell which beat was the real one, and it makes it hard to mix, so I never use it. However, in my opinion the motors are at very least very comparable to 1200's, so I have never really had the desire to replace them. Except for maybe with one of the new model 150's, only because I hear they finally got the key correction to function properly, the 150’s are supposed to have even more torque, but like I said before, the torque on mine is fine. I don’t scratch so super high torque tables are not a necessity for me, so I will run with my 100’s until they die. All of that is really moot anyway, while I still have my tables and can still use them, I rarely do. Most of the time I use my digital setup, which consists of a Denon MC6000, a pair of Kontrol F1s, Maschine, a Kaoss Pad Quad, and Traktor. I enjoy a very wide range of music, and if you listen to my sets, you'll rarely hear me play an entire set of single genre, most of the time it is three or four different genres. And what I enjoy most with the digital setup, is that I have so much more music at my disposal, and it is a lot more accessible that trying to thumb through a thousand records. My style of mixing has evolved a great deal since switching to digital as well, so much so that I don't enjoy traditional mixing as much anymore either, I use a lot of cue points and loops in my mixes, and you can't do that with vinyl. I suppose you could with Traktor Scratch and set of Dicers, but I don't really see the point considering that that I don’t scratch, nor do I have any real desire to. It doesn't really fit what I do.Life moves quickly, and life had more responsibilities than my teenage dreams allowed for, and I wound up settling down. I got married and had a couple of kids and mixing kind of took a backseat for a few years... …Fast forward to a few years ago, I got my hands on an iPod and started jamming out to my tunes again, because it was all so easily accessible, which in turn made want to mix again, but I still rarely found the time to do it. Until I got my hands on a copy of Virtual DJ, and I got all pumped up. I started recording mixes. I was rejuvenated all over again. Not that I really have aspirations for a worldwide tour anymore, but simple act of blending one track into another was as exciting as it was the first time I did it, and I was having a lot of fun doing it. So, I kept at it, and made some new like minded friends. I got picked up on Gremlin Radio a few months after I started mixing again, and I have been there ever since. I love it; we have a very cool group of people contributing to the station. I've been there since 2011, and don't plan on going anywhere. I was recently made an administrator for the station as well, my main role is to set up their streams when they join the station, but I also look for new DJs to join our ranks amongst other things as well. So if you interested send me a PM, or find me on Facebook or something, just find a way to get me your demo. I'm always scouting for new talent to join our collaborative. Currently we have around 40 DJ’s in the fold, but we are looking to have live DJs 24/7. Anyhow, I can ramble on and on, but in the end we are all here for the same reason, we love music... Take a listen to my sets, and let me know what you think, good or bad. All comments will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks for stopping by and checking me out and I hope you enjoy what you hear... >>> Peace.Love.Unity.Respect <<<

Hey there, I am Ben, I'm 19 years old, and I have been mixing beats for just under a year and love it! Appreciate anyone who takes the time to comment/favourite/download one of my mixes, so feel free! I love to play most forms of house music, but I also like myself a bit of drum and bass and dirty dubstep as well...

Music has alway been a big part of my life both in the good and not so good times, and the trials and tribulations of what has been life to date. Being an 80's kid I grew up listening to the likes of the The Police, Duran Duran, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Spandau Ballet, Gloria Estafan. During my early teens my musical tastes took a dramatic shift when I developed a tatse for Rock and Heavy Metal music listening to bands such as Bon Jovi,Queen, White Snake, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Skid Row & Iron Maiden. I first got introduced to the EDM scene in 93 whilst on Easter leave from the Royal Navy, when a mate took me to a club (The Venue) in my home town of Spennymoor, that was doing all nighters(these were proper all nighters 10pm till 10am) and I was hooked. The DJs were playing out prodomenately Italo House/Dance and I was fortunate enough to see some absolutely class PA's during my time going there. These included Ultrasonic, Q-Tex, QFX, Shades of Rythme, Rythme Response, Dimension, JK, Clock to name but a few. Unfortunately summer 95 saw the demise of the club after an arson attack, which left the building unsafe and it had to be pulled down(sad times) but as they say life goes on. I also enjoyed the time spent at Club Lucy's, The Colleseum(Stockton) and the Top Hat(Spennymoor). Alas finally My career as a chef took me to away from the North East which when I was first introduced to House music. After a major health scare in early 2004, it made me realise how precious and how fragile life is, as well as bringing my career as a chef to a close(1 of the hardest decision to date I've had to make). With a desire to bridge creative gap caused by leaving my chefing career behind it was pretty obvious that my passion for music was the way forward to making that possible. In 2009 I bought my first set up and spent the best part of early 2009 perfecting the basics of beat matching and mix construction. After a long google search September '09 looking for sites similar to HM it threw up the link for HM itself and I joined the site and as they say "the rest is history". Although I've now been mixing for 2 1/2 years I'm still learning new things to bring to my mixes and believe that the learning proccess will never end. I've also learnt a great deal from listening to other DJ's/Artist mixes here on HM and 1 person stands out more thn others, Disfunktional DJs both in terms of the quality of his mixes and his own music. I use a combination of both analague and digital set up's and have some strong opinions on the "ongoing" debate about the use of analogue and digital set ups. I have a very understated attitude towards my work and never "big up my mixes" I honestly don't see the point, I would rather the music, track selection and my mixes speak for themselves. I'm also my own worst critic and a huge perfectionist which can sometimes be my own downfall. Finally a huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time to listen and comment on my mixes massive respect to you all. As is the title of a Tim Delux Track; "Let The Beat's Roll" Peace & Respect

House Is Life and i am addicted Been collecting music for 36 years and very proud of my vinyl collection from the 80's/90's. In my opinion the 80's was the best time for music and left me inspired by the great musicians and artists who left a legacy behind and music is still influenced by those heroes. Not afraid to experiment with sounds and always searching the globe for something a little different, and if recent releases don't cater for my needs, then there is always the archives. My Listening Genre's - House, Soulful House, Deep House, Afro House, Jazz House, Latin House, Tribal House, Lounge, Nu-Jazz, Soul, RNB, D&B, Garage, 2 Step. Music has always been my pastime and enjoyed the occasional gigs and live sets, but never really took my passion to the next level. Life is kinda hectic and faded out of the scene for a considerable time but now back to basics doing what i enjoy, pretty serious about my music and hope that i can spread some joy along the way...love peace and prosperity to all. I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music. Peace Love N Respect Kaleem.
