Just a couple of notes about your set-up again. ILL Tablemanners from Canada, how much more viewable your performance would have been if your camera wasn’t looking straight into your computer and the window to the lft had been covered. This is what the tv industry call back-light which makes for poor lighting. Now if your computer had been facing you, the light from it would probably have looked quite dramatic. I’d also have raised my camera just the very slightest so we can see your hands working better.
Tom the Turntablist: I wanted you to do well because it’s about time Switzerland raised the bar. You didn’t show us your face once and that is in the rules. This is so we aren’t watching an imposter, i.e. Craze pretending to be Tony Prince for example!!!!
Lastly, try to upload your set before the next round deadline begins so you are in full vision of all the voters. Some DJs load their set two days after the round has begun and missed out on hundreds of votes.
I told you we’d start getting more votes as the standard in the competition got better and that’s exactly what’s happening in this round. Take a good look around, there are 26 x 2 minute performances and they all deserve a full viewing and you DJs out there will understand how much of their life has been spent locked in a room alone practising, so come on, give ‘em a break - watch them work. You only have to watch 4 a day for 6 days and you’ll have seen them all.
There are some here you can learn from too if you’re just getting your act together.
Cheers and a Happy Easter if you’re celebrating it.
Bloody Tony.
This is me with the great Walter Stanton who gave us the stylus and supported DMC so much. The stage we’re standing on cost £20,000 to build, two SL1200 replicas - they were destroyed as soon as the event was over because they were too big to store anywhere. Amazing days!
