Michael Cullen’s BPM Log

I’m off to BPM in about an hour, and thought I’d keep you guys posted over the next 4 days for those of you who can’t attend!

Updates will start flowing at speed tomorrow morning from 10am onwards; I’m performing in the Denon DJ competition (thanks to you guys), but the rest of the time I’ll be checking out the stands and seminars, as well as keeping an eye out for any new or updated products of course :slight_smile:

This will be a PHOTO HEAVY thread, and when I get back I should have a fair amount of video for you guys too :slight_smile:

Yup. I’d love to see this too.

I didn’t realise people came to BPM looking for a slap :stuck_out_tongue:! :laughing:

Will do my best to get something from the VDJ boys :slight_smile: Assuming you all mean Virtual DJ 8.0?

Our fail attempt at a cable version of that scene from Lady and the Tramp; didn’t want to put any MORE of the thing in our mouths though lmao.

I’m going to BPM on Sunday.

Great - looking forward to the news and photos!!

VDJ8 is still coming out soon supposedly, eh? :thinking:

10

Looking forward to the updates! REALLY want to see the RMX80 so get loads of pics.

Make the most of the freebies as well. I came back with 4 tshirts and a decksaver last time i went!!

PS: if thats your good lady friend you’ve done extremely well for yourself!! :wink:

Hotel is a fucking JOKE. The shower is basically IN the bedroom. Had no sleep last night, very angry now haha. Still, I’ll be in a big hall filled with hopes and dreams in a minute :smiley:

12

I assume you will be getting pics of your cables on the Reloop gear?!

Christ. Reloop is BRINGING IT at BPM.

This thread is gonna go wild…

15

Yeah, Those Midi turntables look sick, 0.2 sec start torque

16

I cant believe they are the first to integrate midi. Im seriously interested in how much they will cost. Look sweet and with an 11kg motor they will match technics easily.

17

oh dear god…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99V07q3UmfI

Reloop…He has risen!!!

18

Wow. Price?

19

A lot. The RP-6000s are already expensive, these will be moreso.

But my god is it worth it.

They’re basically 1200s but with a custom variant of the Super OEM motors, and a metric fuckton of MIDI controls on them. I’m gonna get some proper photos/video tomorrow, but EVERYTHING Reloop have brought out today is just mental.

Take the BeatPad for example… ignoring the fact it’s iPad-compatible for the moment, they basically took a Jockey 3 - which I HONESTLY thought they couldn’t improve on - added the even better jogs from the TM4, backlit them with multicolour LED rings a la CDJ2000s, added some mini performance pads with different modes, rejiggered the layout a bit, and ended up with something EPIC. Oh, and it does EVERYTHING it says on the front panel with just an iPad. It’s literally insane.

I’m still pissed they didn’t release a Contour MK2, but there’s always NAMM…

Anyway, apologies for the lack of pics today; I had my first heat for the Denon DJ competition at 12:30, which I won and made it through to the final :slight_smile: My other half recorded it on her phone, so will be uploading it when I get back home for you guys to see :smiley:

Unfortunately, I was up against three other AMAZING guys in the final, and the judges said it’s been the hardest year ever to judge. I didn’t win, but got some fantastic compliments from the judging panel and only one bit of criticism (not enough looking up at the crowd), so it was a fantastic experience nonetheless :slight_smile:
