Swiss beats does use an MPc 4000
But on a different tip
Has anyone actually seen Swiss beats...

He always has his Bullet proof Briefcase HANDCUFFED to his arm at all times,.,

Whats in the briefcase...

His Samples....
This dude keeps all his zip disks in a armored case...And DVDs...
We were engineering a session in the same studio we happened to walk in on him while getting another LA-2a for the Engineer out of his car I dont know why he kept them in his car...
But small story short he had this case open and inside was like this fully padded case full of disks mainly drums...
I was like whoa..
All his crew saw me peeping and he closed the case and the door..


I hope this gives you some light on how crooked the industry is,,,
Meaning anyone will steal your samples and make your shit sound better...

Case and point Dj craze and A-track I was partying with them and we got a little too faded....
They were crashing out on a couch, but before they both knocked out they put the disks that they had in there backpacks in there sweatshirts before they went to sleep b/c they were scared someone might jack them,...

Yeah the Russian Vadim is very nice! Does Coldcut use an MPC to?

I know the new Polish artists Skalpel on Ninjatune use one to. Its some jazzy stuff, very good. There was a RMX contest a while back from Skalpel. I didnt finished it in time, though.. :cry: You can hear his stuff on Ninjatune.net.

Ninjatune rocks! 8)

I heared a live set from MPC3 (its somewhere on the internet) Its djShadow, Cut Chemist and Dj Numark.
They giged with some MPC's and turntables.
If you put djShadows' Private Press into your cd rom drive and are connected too the internet, you can search for more audio from Shadow. (Probably with all cd's and MediaPlayer) Do it and the live act from MPC3 is there somewhere.
