I’m preparing for the next Beautiful & Damned night on Thursday 18th. Someone from Time Out is keen to run a feature, so I’ve given them a photo and conducted a short email interview. It’s the third time I’ve been interviewed about the club, and Thurs is only its second outing. <\/p>\n
I’m rather concerned about the problem of the CD decks being jolted by enthusiastic dancing on the neighbouring floorboards, particularly by those fond of the Charleston – all that stamping about. <\/p>\n
One solution is to forgo CDs altogether, and play mp3 files on a laptop for the whole set, something I’ve seen others do a few times now. I’m told there’s a program called Traktor that’s particularly suitable for the purpose. Thing is, I don’t have a laptop. If any kind London-based soul out there can lend me one for the night, or has alternate helpful advice, please get in touch. <\/p>\n
Or perhaps I could try this suggestion from Alex M: <\/p>\n
“You could borrow two Sony mobiles and do it off them! My K750 plays mp3s and you can get a standard photo audio lead for it. I don’t actually think it’s been done before and you’d be hailed as the New Streets overnight!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
