Length : 47:11
Year : 1987

Equipment used:
2 Technics Turntables & 1 basic mixer without cross fader.



Description :
Track 08, 09, 10 was a live "Showoff" session to amaze the audience (and to defend my ranking in their hearts) with my newly acquired "Quick Beat-matching Technique". I changed serveral records within one song's break in front of the crowd (and the disco manager). I moved the pitch control syncronizing the beat spontaneously while the track was already playing "on-air".

In the 80's, Beat-Sync seemed to be a hard-to-achieve technique for beginners. However, it was not difficult for a hard working dj who was mixing over a hundred songs every night....

當年間唔中 都要出下招 比 D 驚喜 給 斑熟客 及同事 看, 補住自己個 Ranking.

在 80年代, 夾beat在外行人和初學者眼中可能是很難的事.

其實對晚晚夾beat一百幾十次的勤力dj來說 因工多藝熟關係, 早已是很基本的"功"作.

今次是1987年10月某日 剛練成的招式叫 " 超快速 夾beat 大法 " .

一般mixing是在播放中的歌 的break位到 之前就要 夾好下一首歌的beat, cue 好位, 一到break位就要出街.

今次的 " 驚人" 演出是在一首歌的一個break位中先後夾三次beat, 入三次歌, 基本是表演break 位已到先放上唱碟, cue好位就出街, 出街先至夾beat, 出緊街同時調Technics盤的 Pitch Control.

當晚表演給圍著dj booth 的 Disco Manager, Assistant DJ / Light man, disco captain 及 客人 看. 看 到他們 "目定口呆" 的樣子 我很開心, 滿足晒我的表演慾. 80年代就是可以這麼簡單, I Like.

Description :
- My 4th elder sister called on 2005-09-18 and asked me is there anything to bring back to L.A. for 5th sister Julie. However, she already bought all things from Julie's wish list.
- Didn't know what to buy, I decided to do this CD mix to send her with all tracks she knows well and love....(I didn't know zshare or stuff like in 2005)...
- Tracklist and mix positions similar to a mixtape I done for Julie (My Sister) in 1986 with a few tracks that are newer remix version....
- All tracks I first listen from records she bought or KROQ radio mix show tapes she sent me from L.A. in the early 80's... {The Italo classic, "Gazebo - Masterpiece" was categoriesed as Alternative in L.A.}
- Live recording mixed with Virtual DJ 3 + Hercules DJ Console controller. You may hear short mute during "I Eat Cannibals" because at that time Virtual DJ 3 might mute the output for a second whenever I tune the EQ knob on the controller. Vritual DJ 4 fixed this problem. Virtual DJ is a very good program, actually one of the best program in the market today.


- 這個mix 的歌全部是我家姐 直接 / 簡接 教我聽的...
- 當年 1985 有餅同名 mixtape 失傳了 ...2005 再做這 mix CD 送給她, 有 d 歌係新remix...
- 她1982 年去L.A. 讀書, 我繼承了她全部黑膠碟....
- 她在 L.A. 錄 當地 KROQ radio station "non-stop" mix show 錄音帶給我.... "B-Mover - Nowhere Girl" 同 "Gazebo-Masterpiece (12")" "I'm Just A Gigolo" 是從這些帶 中 第1次聽.... {Italo Disco 在美國是 Alternative}

蘇施黃與楊震耀

現在每晚看到蘇施黃做烹飪節目, 感覺很親切, 好像見番老朋友咁...

在80年代 每星期我都必定聽 "蘇施黃與楊震耀" 佢個節目放大量 Disco Dance 歌, Burning Up, These Memories, Bring On The Man, Vamos A La Player, Mandolay, ... etc.
再加埋 楊震耀 扮 何奇堅 做 "妙韻寄心聲" 很攪笑...
聽這個 mix 再想起 當年的 蘇施黃 真好feel...
These Memories, these memories, haunting me....

謝謝

Peterson Italo Mix 1986

The legendary DJ Peterson came to visit me in my House in Macau in 1986. This is the tape he brought me as a gift. I always treat this tape as my treasure until now.

Two tracks recorded in this tape. One medley (P-Mix) by DJ Peterson, the other one named C-Mix, I bet this was mixed by his student DJ Cowboy. DJ Cowboy was also the remixer of later series of Remix-Megamix series.



P-Mix 1986
Download

{The backing track @18:49 was also used in Remix-Megamix vol. 1}

C-Mix 1986
Download

Also mixed with Tascam 4-Tracker.

Enjoy !

Peterson was using Amiga computer in 1986 which already had PCM sound...... while PC was using dump internal speaker..... to be continued....

Peterson Italo Medley 1985

The Legend Continues

Open reel tape recorder was cool but not very portable.

It was 1985, the legendary DJ Peterson was playing his new medley in Hot Wall Disco (Hong Kong) while he showed me his new gear:





I do not remember clearly it was a Tascam Porta-03 or Tascam 414.

Here is the medley he was playing:

Alan Tam - I Like Chopin (Peterson Remix)
譚詠麟 - 我愛雀斑 (Peterson Remix)
Download


The legendary Peterson Wong from Hong Kong was the remixer of Remix Mega-Mix vol. 1 and 2. He was also my teacher of mixing.



Remixed using Open Reel Tape Recorder and Echo machine.
In 1984, he had to use real blades to cut and edit tapes. Early "Cut & Paste" editing. I saw him doing that.


殿堂級 DJ / Remixer, Peterson Wong 黃子榮 之史前自家 remix.
1984 年用 Open Reel Tape Recorder 和 Echo 做 remix 的.
真係要用刀片 "剪" 錄音帶的!

Lo-Tech is still Cool !


Thanks.

Description :
Another challenge, a Romantic Mix for my wife Sonia.
Used first letter of each song title to spell "RICHARD LOVES SONIA".
Constraint on song selection while had to gain momentum and energy to lead listeners to where I wanted them to be
From "easy listening" building up to "hyper" in an hour time.
Mix tracklists traditionally are arranged either by BPM or by Key but this time I use song names to arrange.

-------------
可愛的老婆大人發現 Soft Mix for Jack 後, 她又要我為她做個mix, 要度身訂製, 唔可以交行貨, ...

好彩比我想到呢一招...
用每首歌名先頭一個字母串成 "Richard Loves Sonia" ...

Another DJ Challenge.
這次難度是選曲有限制並要兼顧整個mix的舖排和氣氛 : 由輕柔感覺至情緒高漲 (氣勢要一路上升,不能打斷氣路,又不能減慢速度)...

做 Rainy Day 時 有feel 到, re-strucutre 番似 Artimix 3 中 唱完尾段先開始入過歌...
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes 又想要 意大利文 又想要 英文, 卒之對埋一齊... 開頭部份是我edit 兩種語言的....

Thanks.
