DOA/SERATO MIX SERIES #4: RANDALL (UK)

http://www.dogsonacid.com/system/images//news/3343_2.jpg

For our latest edition of the DOA/Serato Mix Series, we got a true legend within the game to speak to us about his views on the Scratch Live technology. DJ Randall has been in the game since the late 80s, and has not only seen the scene evolve, but helped usher the change(s), be it as a producer, working with the likes of Andy C back in 1994 with their classic "Sound Control", or as the labelhead at Mac II, one of the more influential imprints within the DnB scene, or helping usher the J-Tek movement with the likes of Digital, Outrage and others. His resume is the stuff of legend, and his wisdom and experience is something to take note of. With a simple chat and an expert mix, Randall gives us a timeless picture at the next level in DJing, for this generation and those to come.

DOA: How did you first discover Scratch Live?

Randall: I discovered this bit of kit a few years back through my pal, Jason (A-Sides); back then he was using Final Scratch at the time. I liked the way it looked and the way it still interacted with the decks.

DOA: A lot of DJs now play on Scratch Live, but was there a key DJ who you saw who influenced you to switch from vinyl/CDs/dubs and made you say �right, this is for me�?

Randall: I think it was when I was playing a gig abroad and I got charged a lot of cash to bring my dubs & vinyl back into the country; I've had records go missing at airports as well, so I thought it was time to look into this bit of kit. I checked out A-Sides using it at his home studio and it made me want to get involved in Scratch Live. I was also spending a large amount of money on tunes and getting sent a lot of tracks on-line and I couldn't cut all these tunes on dub, so this was something I had to try out.

DOA: How long have you been DJing on Scratch Live now and how did you feel playing your first gig on it?

Randall: I've been playing on Scratch Live for 14 months now; I started using it when I was DJing on radio shows and playing gigs out of the country.

DOA: Has DJing on Scratch Live changed the way you play your sets?

Randall: Scratch Live has not changed the way I play really, it's just that now I have a much bigger selection of tunes at my disposal.

DOA: What do you like most about Scratch Live?

Randall: I like the possibilities Scratch Live gives you and the fun you can have with it. I get a lot of tunes sent to me via the Internet and I can now play them like they are pressed on vinyl in seconds.

DOA: What Is your favourite mode to play in?

Randall: Absolute mode... simple tings (lol).

DOA: A lot of people say that they don't like the wiring process if they DJ on Scratch Live, do you find it difficult to wire up in a club?

Randall: I don�t think it's a problem wiring in Scratch Live at clubs as long as I get there with time to spare. I don�t really like stressing the DJ who is playing before me. More recently, promoters are having the interfaces installed before I get there, which is a good thing.

DOA: Have you found a lot more clubs now have Scratch Live interfaces pre installed? If so what are your favourite clubs where you can just go plug & play?

Randall: I think a lot more clubs are having interfaces permanently installed. My favorites are Fabric and Matter in London, and also Custard Factory in Birmingham. These are my favourite places to play at the moment.

DOA: You have recently upgraded to an SL3. Tell us what you like most about the new interface and its features.

Randall: My favourite features about the SL3 are that there are less leads to connect up and I think the sound difference is much better and louder than the old interface.

DOA: Is there anything new you would like to see added into the software / hardware?

Randall: Yeah, make it a wireless connection, That would be cool.

And now, check out an exclusive mix from Randall, using Scratch Live, recorded LIVE from the Serato Party at this year's Sun & Bass 2009 extravaganza. Dogs On Acid would like to send a special shout-out to A-Sides for all of his help in securing this mix for the us.

There must of been quite a few of these 'I love Serato' articles/q+a's. I'm not taking anything away from the article or Randall, infact I use the software. However there is only so many times that people on here need to know that it's a great bit of kit. I also understand it's a Mix Series but theres no tracklist here??. Just seems like shameless promotion with an Mp3 attached. No doubt i'll get in trouble now

RE SOLDIK.

Agreed this guy is an idiot. It pisses me off when people just come post negative shit on here with no respect for nothing, Why bother saying anything at all?

Probably because they have fuck all better to be doing ;)

crawl back into your little hole bro...

If you got a problem with serato at least have some respect for Randall who is one of the Dons of the scene.

We were probably rocking 1200's why you were testing out your first daiper :) About time you stepped out of it. It's 2010!
