    Default Residents Wanted!!!

    Thought I would share this with you guys.

    The Warehouse club in Leeds, UK is re-opening and the are auditioning for residents.

    Anyone who doesn't know it's a very famous club in the north of England and has hosted some of the top events over the years - KAOS/SOAK, Up Yer Ronson, Vague, Speedqueen & Technique.

    Anyway they have re-fitted the club and want residents.
    Here's the good bit:

    They have installed a Traktor & an Ableton server, an Audio 8, 2 Control X1's & 2 Novation Launchpads as standard as well as CDJ's & SL1210's.

    They want Digital DJ's!
    And they are willing to take on people with no club experience.

    I think they should be applauded for their forward thinking, Leeds is full of DJ's so to do it this way is cool imo.

    Here's the link: http://the.warehou.se/

    And here's the tech list: http://the.warehou.se/page/techinfo.html

    Unfortunatley I got 2 kids now so I won't be applying, but I was lucky enough to play the Warehouse back in the early 90's a few times and I can tell you lot to go for it cos the place is rocking when full.

    Wow, that would be a dream start!

    Shame I didn't get into Leeds College of Art for my degree next year or I would've been on that like a flash!

    # 1 x Traktor Server - WareWolf I
    # WareWolf I is a custom built server running Traktor Scratch Pro. The server contains two Quad Core Xeon Processors, 6GB DDR3 Ram, four 128GB SSD drives in a hardware RAID 10 array. The operating system is a stripped down version of Windows 7 64 bit designed specifically for The Warehouse. The hard drive contains the FLAC audio files that our resident DJs use to play on Traktor - each DJ gets an accessible network share that they can use to store their music, prepare sets and customise Traktor to suit their style.
    Setup: TP 3, Kontrol S5, MF Twister, MF3D, MF Classic, DIY-Midifighter, Aiaiai Tma-1

    This is so good to see, hopefully more clubs will follow this trend and push the art of digital DJing!

    I dont get it.

    Do you have to use the clubs system? Can you not bring your own laptop with your pre-prepared sets etc.

    Seems like a drag having to use the clubs WareWolf system. I mean its cool that they are accepting traktor/ableton djs etc but having to import your music to their system just seems like a snide way of building a huge library not to mention illegal file sharing. Yes it is illegal.

    I do all my prep at home and i do a LOT of prep.

    I hope they have a Traktor expert to sort the mess our after guys change tsi and layouts.

    Sounds like a cool gig though. Last time i went to the Warehouse in leeds was for some bands a Looooooong time ago.

    Nah it's unlikely they don't allow you to use your own laptop. However, if you are a resident at their club, why not use their own server if you can upload files from home etc.?
