Brighton UK
Hi
Is there any controllerists in Brighton UK? I have many dj mates but only a couple of them digital dj’s. Thought it would be cool to meet more digital dj’s in the area and share ideas and mashup some sets.
what do you reckon?
I guess I’m classified as a ‘controllerist’, and I’m in Brighton 
Hi.
Yeah tending to use the term controllerist more than dj now. what sort of music you into? I enjoy everything but prefer to play deep tech tribal house and breakbeat for the cue jumping which i find fun. Bit partial to psy trance aswell. you have quite a setup. do you play out at clubs or bars yet? I’ve done a few times.
I’m from Brighton too! I don’t play at clubs or anything spectacular like that. I just play at friends houses sometimes.
Starting to see more and more people with midi controllers and traktor at house parties though. I suppose it’ll leak over into the club scene soon enough. I see people with serato at clubs alot in Brighton but never really traktor.
Thanks man, I tend to just use the 4D at the moment but want to perfect my CDJ skills. I play fidget house, dubstep, anything with a lot of bass. Yea I play in Volks a lot and have played in Digital before.
Trying to start playing out a lot more this yr.
im just north of brighton near haywards heath. we should plan a meetup or something…
Awesome
I’ve always fancies doing a digital dj night no cdj’s. I think it would make an interesting night. And maybe give the rest a run for their money lol. Yeah seen serato out before and Kion (superdubpressure) uses traktor scratch.
Famoussas which nights do you play at? I tend to go to the volks more than any other club as I still find they play the best tunes in Brighton generally.
Hey guy’s yeah really keen to meet up if your up for it. Maybe meet for a pint or few msg me and I’ll send you my number. Don’t really fancy putting my number out in cyberspace.
There are a few DJ’s on the brighton circuit that use just laptops/controllers, quite a few that use Traktor Scratch Pro and some that use Serato but no as many as you’d think. The trend in Brighton tends be be just using CDs and CDJ’s.
I DJ at a night called Toothsayer, DJ’ed at a night called New Noise and have done a few charity gigs as well.
Check my soundcloud for a few live recorded sets and my new promo if you’re interested
I live bout 5 mins from volks, i have been to ur toothsayer night was awesome, could not for the life of me remember what it was called, but that just rang a few bells! def go again now i know what it was! i dont dj in clubs or anything only been doing it like 6 month, i only ever seen dj’s use serato & timecode and 1 guy using ableton & ap40 in audio.
Awesome! a sussex thread on Techtools, it is a small world after all
tall, really short hair (like military short), big smile on…and maybe a bowler hat?!
Hey Guy’s
James Zabeila is playing at Digital on the 20th. Anyone want to meet up and go see him?
that would be great. not sure if i will be able to make it. i have a fair amount of travel to do over the next 2 weeks. gonna be in guildford for a couple days this week and tonbridge in 2 weeks time. possibly wales at the end of the month… gonna be an interesting month… i will let you know when it gets closer.
Feels so nice to read about places I know on the DJTT forum.
Got a lot of mates down in Brighton and went and saw Claude Von Stroke a couple of weeks ago at Audio at a night called Minimal Kids.
I don’t know who the guy was that was on before him, but he was using Serato. I was quite pissed by the time Von Stroke started so I couldn’t say what he was rocking his set with. The music and booze had taken me into a place that only had dancing in it.
hehe
yeah i missed that night but heard it was good. Think I was at a psy trance night called freak bizarre at coallition. need i say any more.
Would be Vincent Mangenaro or his DJ alias Enzo Siffredi. He plays literally every weekend in Brighton. Nice guy, but no my kind of music.
Enzo Siffredi? Thats the man! I spoke to him as I was leaving around 4ish. I couldn’t take anymore due to only being on alcohol rather than the illegal stuff.
I’m playing on Tuesday @ Volks
I’m from Brighton - live near Dance2 / Waitrose
You think there’s enough of us to look into doing a (one off?) controllerism night? book out upstairs at The Hope or something… would be cool to see controllerism being pushed in Brighton.
