Garry Todd – LSD ExperienceFrom BPC296 Garry Todd – Time To Get OnitRelease Date: 11.04.2014Label: Bpitch ControlBPC Webshop: https://www.bpitchcontrol.de/market/browse/8500The British DJ and promoter Garry Todd is one of the key figures in Australia's underground club scene. After his move from his home Sunderland to Down Under, he reanimated not only Sydney's club culture with his "Bread&Butter" parties, with his label Contemporary Scarecrow alongside releases from Boo Williams and Mr. G, Garry creates a real stir. With his "Time To Get Onit EP", the Australian-by-choice now made ​​his debut on BPitch Control.He gathered four tracks that show how small the boundaries between house and techno can be sometimes. "Onit" is a brilliant techno workout that clearly heads towards the big room with its driving bass line, the 808 nuances and the squeaky howling alarm signals. While the vocal cuts are hinted here, on „Feelin“ they step into the foreground. The rattling bass retires only briefly before the orbital streaks are taking the lead coming from the background – no wonder why Garry Todd is celebrated in his homeland as "the world 's last proper bad boy". His „LSD Experince“ relies on both: his verve for percussive stimuli as well as his retro-esque take on house music. Impressive how the atmospheric soundscapes are settle down in our sub consciousness. For his final deal „Dreamcatcher“ no enigma is needed, but with this sci-fi dream Garry takes us into a moony universe that reminds us of Berlin-based producer Shed – between beats and these intergalactic buzzing sounds a killer tracks is crystallized. What a terrific debut! Welcome, Garry Todd!

Vinyl sales are up. They’re one of the few forms of physical media that’s seen gains in the last five years. But is it just a fad in the music consumer market, or is it also the case in the DJ industry? We take a closer look at a fascinating trend in DJ technology in today’s article.

2016 and Turntables vs CDJs

In May of 2016, turntables captured about 14% of the US market’s unit share for DJ technology. Comparatively, CDJs only captured 6.3% of the units sold. (DJ controllers were far and away the winner with 42%). While we’re not allowed to share too many specifics from sales data (via MI Salestrak), what we can say is that this is only a continuation of a recent trend over the last few months.

Turntables have eclipsed the CDJ (and other media players) in unit sales for three months in a row, and it seems like this might be a trend that will continue. But what are the reasons for this growth, and how does it actually compare to the rest of the market? Read on.

Reason 1: Consumer/DJ Crossover use

The full gamut of DJ turntables are included in these types of industry sales reports. Because of the low-cost of some OEM Technics-style turntables like those made by Audio Technica, it’s very possible that some of these sales are going to consumers who might never DJ with their turntables.

Why would record player sales pick up? As noted at the beginning of this article, vinyl sales overall have seen major gains compared to every other form of music that isn’t digital radio or streaming:

But just because a turntable is low-cost doesn’t mean that it won’t be used by a DJ. Have you heard of portablism yet?

Reason 2: Rise Of Portablism

One of the other most popular turntables sold on the market right now is Numark’s PT01, a belt-driven, battery-operated turntable. The PT01 runs just $ 99 – and it’s one of the primary weapons of choice for the so-called portabalist movement. This is a growing group of turntablists who have descided to take their skills into the wild, allowing them to perform wherever they want with a simple standalone crossfader, a phone/MP3 player for the backing track, and a scratch record:

Still No Match For Controllers….For Now?

Even though turntables are beating out CDJs consistently for the last few months, they’re nowhere close to touching the popularity of digital DJ controllers. Controllers are selling over 36 times more units – and completely dominating the market.

Why? Here’s some basic speculation on the continued popularity of DJ controller:

• DJs don’t need to buy “anything else” when they buy a DJ controller. Software is often included, and music is already being collected digitally. DJing with turntables requires a mixer and a record collection (or at least a DVS setup).
• The wave of “new DJs” is still strong. “Being a DJ” is still high on the aspirations of many music fans, and many of them are looking for a simple solution to learn quickly. Vinyl
• You can’t just buy one turntable to DJ with. The price of two is often well past the price of a nice DJ controller.

That being said, more and more DJs seem to want to switch to standalone DJ gear (the above graph is from an article we wrote about DJs moving in that direction). Maybe the rise of DJ turntable sales is just part of the story?

Release Day: 29.07.2016Pre-Listening: http://bit.ly/2a7WZXuThe South African phenomenon Black Coffee has become well known in recent years due to his impeccable blend of house, infused with African culture and vibes. In 2012, ‘Buya’ was released featuring the stunning vocalist Toshi. The track went platinum in Africa in 2 months, bringing Black Coffee into the international spotlight. Now, Get Physical has taken the reigns and handed the track over to Loco Dice, M.A.N.D.Y. and Da Cappo. Loco Dice lays down a touch of Funk, lightening the mood and takes the track into his world between house and techno, and brings back a bouncy experience.M.A.N.D.Y. on the other hand, opts to keep the original deepness intact, throwing us a super fluid dance number for stirring up a boiling dancefloor. Da Cappo then generates an elegantly organic atmosphere, with the energy loosened and wrapped up in a thick blanket of jazzy-swing. This EP also marks the first taste of a brand new compilation series coming soon to Get Physical, Africa Gets Physical. Loco Dice who has African roots spends his proceeds of the EP for the development of the new website, and the donation campaign for the Kliptown Youth Centre in Soweto, South Africa, a non-profit project that provides hope through tutoring, athletic, music and arts programs. The returns will go to helping the heroes of the Kliptown Youth Center in Soweto, South Africa, giving kids a chance to create and express themselves whereas they might not have had that chance before. The youth is our future, and right now they need our help and support.http://www.getphysicalmusic.com/
