Thanks to Caryn, i was invited to a DJ Workshop entitled M.C Asia Behind The Music @ Royale Chulan. I almost run out of petrol trying to get my ass there. As you’ve read the post before this, M.C Asia is a series of DJ workshop that will guide participants to get their ass up in the dance music industry. Specifically aimed at Asians, this workshop really benefits me in every way. =)
LOL. Pardon me, this banner is not for this event but rather for last Saturdays event. =p

Lets start with random and camwhore pics first. =P
Joanne, Me, Suresh and Caryn.
Enough of pictures, lets get down to DJ-ing. As you guys know, (well only some of you la.) im into mixing music. And this platform is a great opportunity to dig as many information as possible from the industry’s veteran. DJ Blastique and Gabriel was warming the house up with host Daniel Jones getting us hyped.

DJ Blastique
Through out the whole session, both DJ’s were explaining to us different style of mixing. DJ Gabriel is an old skool freak, preferring to lay his hands on CDJ’s and Vinyl while Balastique is equip with his MAC, Midi Controller and Mixer. ( Laptop DJ )
Both DJ’s were showing us what can be done with Laptop DJ and CDJ. Well to be honest, i think CDJ has a wide load of functionalities but are limited to a few at one time. For example, the effects such as flanger and brake and etc, you can have them played at the same time. Nevertheless, you look cool mixing in CDJ’s. =p
Laptop DJ functions has more and are only limited to where your imagination can bring you. You can cue lotsa clips of audio from your current song on the fly, you can have many effects craving through your mix, on the fly too, and tons of other stuff.
I took this opportunity to shoot as many ques as i can to Gabriel as i have problems with beat matching and BPMs. LOL. i cant beat match perfectly on R&B.
Gabriel explaining to us what are the knobs on the mixers are for.
