Here we've got the half inch compression driver. And for the size, not bad, not bad at all actually. I like the design, what I like about these is you can imagine plugging them in and having them for your hi-fi system, at the same time you could use them as monitors but if you've got a gig that night you could unplug them and if you've got a gig of say, I don't know, small for 20 or 30 people... And they just want to listen to 70s and retro music, you could probably just use those too. But then again, if you've got a bigger function, you could wang those in with an active crossover, stick a few 18s or 15s underneath them, and you've got a nice sound system. So hopefully soon I'll be giving these guys a run for their money. Alright ladies and gentlemen, we've got dad and son here. Now what's your name sir? Jack. I'm Jack. Jack and...

Yeah, unfortunately, yeah. Alright, now tell us all, what do you do? I do a bit of bedroom DJing and a bit of mobile stuff as well. Nice one. And what sort of music do you prefer yourself? What's your personal preference? A bit of house, funky house, a bit of The DJ Tutor has been working with us for a long time, and he's been working with us for a long time. He's been working with us for a long time. Have you turned up to a function without a mixer? I have. I did, swear I did. Alright, what's the most memorable experience? I had a gig that I'd done for my friends and they invited all their friends over and we all had a really good time. There was loads of people there and they were out dancing. It was a really good night. Played lots of good tunes and lots of my tunes as well so that was good. Excellent. Alright now, I don't care what people say however
How old or young you are, everyone's got tips. Can you give a tip? Maybe something you know that you'd like to share with everybody else? Think about the music you're playing to your crowd. If you enjoy yourself, then they'll enjoy themselves. If you see yourself sitting down doing nothing, just doing a mixing, then it's not really exciting for the audience. I think you're quite boring. But if you get up into the mix, I agree because there's too many DJs out there that they think the music is all of it and they just sit there and they're there putting the music on. But in a sense, the DJ, you've got to show that you're enjoying yourself and if you can do that, the crowd react with you, don't they? Yep, that's right. Alright, nice one. What's the best saying in the world? Practice and enjoy. Hey, nice one. Thank you, gents.

Sunday sessions. Okay, alright, and what sort of music are you playing? A bit of Funky House, a bit of Veletro House, a bit of Club Classics, maybe a breakbeat as well.

I've got New Mark City Mix 2s. You don't have to dance, you know. It's amazing in there, you know. You sort of like, you walk in one area and you're doing some sort of one, you're doing one dance and then halfway through the room you start doing another dance to the other beat.
