Dan Greenpeace and DJ Yoda - classic turntablists

Advantages: amusing, classic tracks, well put together
Disadvantages: possibly a bit short, but only because it leaves you wanting more

...Dan Greenpeace and DJ Yoda are apparently great friends. The work together running a radio show on Xfm and also make beautiful music together. ?Unthugged? is one such outing, not to be confused with ?unthugged the essential mix? which is also a good album ? but a completely different one. Those that know DJ Yoda will be familiar with the setup in this album. Its much of the same and just as awesome, cuttin? and pastin?, choppin? and scratin? is the name of the game and its done well. Ugly Duckling are featured one again, kicking off the mixtape with the hilarious ?meat shake? an imaginary tale about a fast food company that sells, yes, you guessed it, ?meat shakes?. This is just a slice of the pie. The rest is just as brilliant. ?Yoda meets the Mr Men? does what it says on the tin as DJ Yoda scratches off with the Mr Men theme tune...

DJ Yoda, Cutting and Pasting with the best

Advantages: classic turntablism and hip hop mix, funny and a brilliant listen
Disadvantages: too short?

...Depending on who you are and what sort of music you listen to or what scene you follow, DJ Yoda is either one of two things; some guy you?ve never heard of, with a funny Star Wars moniker or a hip hop (turntable) legend. I discovered the wonderful world of DJ Yoda back in 2003, shortly after How to Cut and Paste Vol.1 was released. I actually bought Volume 2 first, don?t ask why, I just did. I then bought Volume 1 and every other Album of Yoda?s since. DJ Yoda is a white, Jewish, British DJ, whose skills on the decks would make GrandMaster Flash blink with admiration and respect. High praise indeed, if you know who these people are. Along with Dan Greenpeace, Yoda has a radio show on Xfm but also tours and bashes out these fabulous mixtapes/albums. This one is most noticeably his best. In my opinion anyway. There are a nice mix...

Review of How To Cut And Paste Mix Tape Vol.2 [PA] - DJ Yoda

DJ Yodas first cutting and pasting outing

Advantages: a good length, a nice mix of the elements of hip hop, clever and funny
Disadvantages: not many that i can see.

...itself. Cutting and pasting is a turntablist art form, taking bits of different songs/albums/films etc and lacing them together for amusing purposes. There?s also crabbing, blending, chirps, scribbles, flares, orbits etc etc (see - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratching) Humour is strikingly pleasant, if a little rude. This disc is certainly not for the younger listeners. Delta Ebonics (which can be heard on Youtube) is actually a hilarious Delta Airlines advert in Afro-American slang. That alone is worth buying the album for (especially at its current prices). DJ Yoda meets the Thunderbirds is as humours as you can imagine as Yoda scratches alongside the theme tune to the Thunderbirds show. Once again, DJ Yoda introduces us to a nice mix of MC?s and DJ?s, including the very talented Ugly Duckling (from Los Angeles) who have a very...

Review - The Samsung M7600 'Beat DJ'

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

... Samsung M7600 BeatDJ In the past few mobile phone manufactures have managed to dislodge the Sony Ericsson's Walkman range from the top of the pile where music phones are concerned, the only model to come close is the almighty iPhone? Nokia tried and failed with their 5310 XpressMusic handset, as did LG and until recently Samsung didn't quite make it with both the Jet and F400. However, Samsung have not given up on the music phone market - as the release of their latest handset demonstrates, the new Samsung M7600, aptly named the BeatDJ. The BeatDJ takes the genre of the music phone to an entirely new level; it is the first to incorporate a virtual turntable, but is this enough to steal the title of the 'Ultimate Music Phone,' or is this just another gimmick? Appearance At first glance the Beat DJ looks...

Mixed Feelings

Advantages: Evocative read of Blethyn's formative years
Disadvantages: Loses it's way a bit once our heroine becomes an adult

...I have always liked the actress Brenda Blethyn - ever since I first remember seeing her in "Chance in a Million" a sitcom she starred in with Simon Callow on Channel 4 in the 80s. There was something incredibly endearing about her in that show, and that charm seems to be an integral part of her persona, to my mind anyway - even when she is portraying less than sympathetic characters. Browsing the books in Tesco one day I came across "Mixed Fancies", Blethyn's memoir, and I immediately decided I wanted to read more about the girl born Brenda Bottle in Ramsgate. Blethyn was the youngest of nine children, and her Catholic parents seem to have had a loving and enduring marriage, despite some of the poverty they had to cope with. Blethyn describes her family history well - for instance her parents didn't actually marry until 1944, despite...

DJ Morpheus' Matrix Mix

Advantages: Good selection of tracks, guaranteed to wake you up
Disadvantages: Music might not suit everyone's tastes, Neighbours yell if you turn it up too loud

...The Matrix, a brilliant film (that will probably be in another op). And what does a brilliant film need, but a brilliant soundtrack, and this is exactly what this CD delivers...a great soundtrack mixing rock and techno music. There are 13 tracks on this album, all from different artists, and all were used at various points in the Matrix movie. //TRACK LISTING\\ 1. Marilyn Manson - Rock is Dead 2. Propellerheads - Spybreak (short one) 3. Ministry - Bad Blood 4. Rob D - Clubbed to Death (Kuraymino Mix) 5. Meat Beat Manifesto - Prime Audio Soup 6. Lunatic Calm - Leave You Far Behind 7. Prodigy - Mindfields 8. Rob Zombie - Dragula (Hot Rod Herman Remix) 9. Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It) 10. Hive - Ultrasonic Sound 11. Monster Magnet- Look To Your Orb For The Warning 12.

Chicco Dj Walker

Advantages: low volume button
Disadvantages: High volume button

...I bought the Chicco Dj Baby Walker from Littlewoods catalogue for £45. It is very colourful and bright. It has a removable tray which comes with detachable straps so that you can attach it to a pram or buggy. The seat cover is also removable so that you can take it off and hand wash it. The dj tray has 6 activities on it that is suppose to represent a keyboard, drum, songbook, dj spinning deck and 2 other random things, one being a mushroom shaped thing that you can press and a handle shaped thing with two beads that go from side to side, the keyboard has five keys which all have animal faces on them. It has three play settings - FREE PLAY, in which the child can make they're own music - MUSIC, self explanatory really, when the child hits the toy it plays different tunes - ANIMALS, this setting makes animal noises when...

Tiesto's best ever mix?

Advantages: Live mix CD so crowd interaction adds to the album
Disadvantages: Quite honestly.. none!!

...So then, Tiesto live in Amsterdam.. widely recognised as one of the best, if not THE best trance DJ in the world (although I'm sure Paul van Dyk, Oakenfold, Armin et al will have plenty to say about that!).. this is where it all began for me.. this CD. Four years ago, when I was just starting to get an interest in the dance music scene, I stumbled across this album. I'd heard of Tiesto, but as a relative 'newbie' to trance I was unsure of what to expect. I'd been happy listening to my Ministry Of Sound annuals, sticking to the more commercial side of dance.. but little did I know this purchase would pretty much change the way I listened to music, that there would be no going back to the cheesyness of DJ Sammy, Lasgo etc. As the mix begins, you're greeted by cheers and whistles from the waiting crowd. Again, new to me at the time.. I...

Review of Magik Vol.6 - Live In Amsterdam (Mixed by DJ Tiesto) - DJ Tiesto

The DJ, The Rapper, And Their Great Hits

Advantages: All the hits
Disadvantages: Couple of weak tracks

..., but this one differs from that as the overall sound of it works much better and I also think that I can relate to this easier. Will's humour is presented during this as he is a able to talk through his emotions as he decides to challenge 'Iron' Mike Tyson to a bout, which he inevitably loses in the first round from a K.O.. This isn't just a bout The Fresh rince though, because the best Jazzy Jeff's talent is also presented and he shows how he can alter his style to make music suitable for a boxing match, but als mixing in a few classic Hip hop samples including Slick Rick's "Hit It". **Four Stars** 7. I'm All That Album From: "Homebase" Year: 1991 Length: 3:45 This certainly uses an old school groove sample, but I cannot work it out, you would expect such a knowledgable DJ and producer as Jazzy Jeff to pick you obscure...

A great Pizza Base Mix

Advantages: Easy, Great Product
Disadvantages: None

...Asda Pizza Base Mix: I love making fresh pizzas from scratch but to be honest I can't always be bothered and activating the yeast doesn't always work me so I thought I would try the Asda pizza base mix so I could whip up some fresh pizzas at a moments notice. The mixes are really cheap at only 55p for a box that contains enough mix for two 8" pizza bases. To make the mix is easy; simply pour the mix into the bowl, (there are two individual packets), add some water, mix, knead, shape and leave to rise. The whole process only takes about 15 minutes all told. I have to say that I prefer "thin and crispy" type pizzas so these make two 10-12" bases for me. The instructions are easy to follow but they are written a little small so you need to pick the box up to read it which isn't great if your hands are already covered in dough etc! So now...
