Short, rough Drum and Bass mix using the Intimidation APEX GOLD MIXER from the Mid 90's

Alright guys, what you're looking at here is an analogue mixer from a company called Intimidation. It's known as the Apex Gold. We have rotary faders, normally up-faders, but these guys are rotary. We have a crossfade, we have punch in, so while the crossfade is that side, if I want to I can press this button here and that side sort of almost punches in. It's a bit like sort of hitting the cue. Same with that side, bang, bang, bang. We have bass, here we have dials known as mids and tops. We have a small area down here which is our effects area. The effects are interesting but they're a lot more real, a lot more organic. We have pan, we have channel select for our headphones, we have master volume.

And we have PFG, which is almost like, it's the equivalent of the trim for each channel. I'm just going to zoom out, or well, zoom slow. So what I'm going to do now is a bit of a drum and bass mix for you. Now I don't know much, I'm not going to go into the history of Intimidation because I don't know, I know virtually zip about it. But what I can tell you is that this particular mixer is brand new, literally just come out of the box. But it's very old, because they made these in the 90s. Now there is a company out there called Why Buy New, and they have bought a job lot of these, so if you are an old school DJ, and you long for the days of having an analogue mixer, then maybe go and check them out. I'll put a link in the description, and I'm going to do a bit of a drum and bass set now, and we'll see what happens. So, we're using vinyl, and we're going to have a bit of fun. Send the bishop to the actress.

We'll even start it at the right speed as well. Might give it a go.
