Breakdance, Nigeria 1959

Florian KellerLeave a comment

Kaduna, Nigeria 1959. As though we thought we knew it all. Nope. Stay a student because everything has been done before, and manifested through time with different groups. All of our expressions can always be traced back to our Human ancestors. This is beyond Breakin events, Breakin competitions, competitors, sponsors, brands, contracts, promoters, sellers, buyers, merchandise of Breakin as a commodity. This is purely the #CulturalTradition side. You want to know the truth? Keep digging and reconnect. 📽 HuntleyFilmArchives#breakin #bboying #bgirling #bboy #bgirl #breakdance #culture #cultural #expression #dance #afrika

Professional Dj Headphones For Cheap!

Florian Keller2 Comments

Just bought a new set of Beyerdynamic DT770’s on te manufacturer’s website as b-stock and they attached a set of free Custom Street headphones.

Solid built, extremely good in isolating the ambience around which is essential for loud clubs since: You can mix much better when the volume of your headphone is at a low volume (after you checked the tune, just in the phase of blending two tracks). If you never experienced that: Try it, you’ll be surprised!

Anyway, Custom Street headset has a solid, durable construction, sounds loud and nicely neutral (as long as you don’t turn on that very affective bass boost) comes with a detatchable 1 m cable (changeable with any 3,5 mm cable on the market) and a gig bag (plus some nerdy things to “style” your ear cups.

Wyh am I mentioning this? Because the thing costr regularely €120.00 it seems they didn’t suceed to marked that model and now you can find it for €40.00
Which makes it the cheapest serious dj headphone around. Be quick if you wanna catch one!

Try your luck searching them since they’re sold out at the manufacturer now (Nov 2018)

Vinyl Before Proper Cleaning & After

A truely rotten record i bought 2nd hand a long time ago. i used to brush it with those carbon brushes, washed it with palmolive soap & soft cloth and also tried the “knosti” cleaning machine with that very record before i finally got me a Hannl Micro vacuum record cleaning machine (similar to Nitty Gritty, Vpi, Keith Monks or the really cheap KAB) and made some experiences: Nearly every record sounds a bit more brilliant after washing (also brand new ones sometimes) – Real scratches oviously can’t be repaired but: There is deep groove dirt which can cause pops or even skips that vacuum record cleaners can reach while other conventional methods fail! Here’s an example what a vacuum machine can do what a velvet brush or a dishwashing detergent can’t!!

Update: This is the by far cheapest solution, I guess with the same results but less comfortable, louder and you will need to buy a proper brush & some kind of flat soft underlay  where you can brush & vacuum the records on
