DJ Superstore Open day July 2008 Video 1

0:00 Have a listen to these gentlemen

Set up time here in DJ Superstore but the trouble is there's no lovely ladies here at all. Oh, hello! Have a listen to these gentlemen.

Right, here we are in DJ Superstore. I travelled last night, I'm absolutely shattered, but it's going to be rather loud and... There's Jerry. How are you sir? We're doing okay. Good. It's been a good start. Excellent. Do you reckon we'll get quite a few hundred here today over the entire day? Yeah, I think it's going to be a busy old day. Excellent. At 11 o'clock when it opened there was a few people queuing up, so it's good. Excellent. And, sun's out. DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. 20 years, is that right? 20 years. Yeah. So when the shot started, I mean, how big was it? Was it in this premises somewhere else or? No, we started off in Leon C, which was not far from here. And we had a small place with 400 square feet. So to try and put that into context, it's about this big. About that much. And I've just been upstairs and I've been upstairs again and it's full of boxes. Full of stuff. So you've done well now.

2:38 I'll interview him later on, but thank you very much

Fair dues, I mean, I can imagine organising an event like this is hard work, but looking around in the first hour, it's paying off isn't it? I think so. People are queuing up to come in at 11, but I have to say that credit is due to Darren. He's here somewhere and he's done all the organising and I can't take the credit for that, but he's done all the organising. I'll interview him later on, but thank you very much. Nice one. Thanks Jonathan. Thank you. Don't go filming the food, it's no good for your belly! I've got a belly! Not yet, anyway. Guys, this is the Intimidation Soundboy. Now, I've done a few vids on that. Now, this gentleman here, what's your name, sir? Andy. Andy, where are you from? Where are you from, Andy? I'm from Intimidation. Intimidation. Now, you've just told me that the chap who designed and built that died a couple of weeks ago. He did, yeah. And apparently there's only 500 of them made. That's right, there's only about 500 made and there's actually only 16 left.

5:19 Rough, digital, disco probably

I mean, we've just had a conversation discussing the Soundboy and we've both come up with a conclusion that it's meant, it's a retro device and it's not meant to be perfect, is it? No. It's meant to be a bit rough around the edges, an old school sound effect and I think that's the sort of thing that gives it its beauty, isn't it? Yeah, indeed. And the thing is, it's very much a retro reggae sound system tool and it's something from the past and it's nice to have a product... You know, that's again what a lot of people really, really wanted. And you know, there will never be any more of them. It was a one-off and it was made in the UK. Yeah, because also I think, you know, everyone is sort of digital, digital. The sound's got to be perfect, pristine, cut clean, you know, almost as though it's come straight out of the factory and everyone looks the same. But I think personally to be individual, and of course everybody wants to be individual, you've got to have something that is individual. Yeah, definitely. And it is very rough. It's an analogue rough.

The DJ Tutor is a digital machine, and that's what we always wanted it to be. It's a shame that we never do them again, but at the same time it's quite of a limited edition piece. I personally think that there's going to come a point where people are going to look and think, wow, it's too digital. And then they're going to look at vinyl and think, maybe we should go back in time a little bit. I hope so, I really do. Alright, I did a video, not a video, no, right, I do too many videos. I had a chat with someone a while ago and I reckon if there's anyone out there, here's an idea for you. Get some original vinyl turntables, mixer, and go out as a 70s style disco and you can probably do well out there. Oh yeah, oh definitely. You know what I mean? People are just, you know...

All the fun's gone, isn't it? Bring back the old stuff. That is where it used to be rough. It used to be, you know, just get two turntables and that's it. And if the needle bounced, what the heck, innit? Yeah, you'd put it back on again. Exactly, yeah. So I put it to you guys. I reckon people out there now should buy some old fan lights. A couple of turntables, original 7-inch and 12-inch singles, and go out as an original 70s disco. You'd probably do well. And I reckon they were all money. Yeah, they probably would actually.
