I see.? So any DJ who's posting links on their page to a personal set should be locked up for copyright infringement?? Same thing would then apply to any Live-To-Air broadcast via FM radio as they do not pay rights as much as you claim they do (save stations like BBC).

I would then assume that passing along a demo to another DJ to evaluate their performance would then be dubbed illegal.

Or even sending out promotional copies of a new track, illegal.

There are so many gray areas that are being bent with DJ culture these days.? Notice every vinyl you have (including the 4pack Tiesto LE) says right on it not to be used for distribution.? So anytime you were to play it live on radio it technically breaches that contract.? However it's done all the time, and even the RIAA knows that this goes on.? It is no infringement and it is not illegal.? Not to mention I provided a full tracklisting of all songs included so if anybody likes the tracks they can purchase them on their own.

Also be aware that I have contacted many of the artists that this was to be released on this website and received about 90% approval rate, the rest have not returned my e-mail.

Another grey area is that when you mix the music together, especially on vinyl, the compilation becomes a performance of yours which allows you to distribute this perfoas long as you do not sell it whatsoeverver. This is why DJ Rectangle did some time in jail. He was slangin his mixtapes of some artists who did not appreciate him makin money off of it. If you do sell it, then it is copyright infringement. Royalties also play a role into this as well. You may be able to gain permission from the labels of the artists to sell your performance on CD, but you are required to pay royalties for any copies sold.

If you are a big enough DJ, some artists don't care if you hand out mix CD's because it gets them publicity. The only downfall, is you can get in deep doo doo if you try to sell the CD's. It's a catch 22. You want people to recognize your skills and possibly make some extra cash for it but artists don't want you to use their original work as your source of income because it dips into their kool-aid. That leaves the DJ needing to secure gigs to spin live for pay, which is difficult to do with all of the other DJ's tryin to do the same. There is tons of competition.

I miss my tables. I had a pair of SL1210 MK2's and a Rane TTM56. I mainly spun hip hop, but was known in my area for mixing up hip hop with dance, breaks, house, and trance. I have a mix set of mine somewhere on CD with one of these mixes... I think it is around 26 tracks and just under 80 minutes long. That CD helped land me many a gig due to my ability to cross mix genre's and keep it sounding good.

I will scope this mix when I get home from work. I love listening to well done mix sets by good DJ's.

It should be easy enough to make a cue sheet for this, problem is I'm not familiar enough with the songs in the mix to be able to tell when one stops and the other starts.

So I really need someone who can tell me what the track lengths are.

I have the cue sheet made up and it's working:

post-22943-1133865478_thumb.jpg

problem is as I have said before I'm not familiar enough with the songs used to accurately give the correct times for the tracks.

If someone could provide the track times I would be more than happy to post the cue sheet here.

I'm suprised that nobody has noticed that all the cd cover track listings as well as on Chris's site and the first post are missing track 8 :)

I guess some people will have to get PS out and sort them :)

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
