Behringer 2642 Mixer - £100
Boss Se50 - £50
Boss Se70 - £90
Behringer Mulitcom (controls live instruments - Sh101 and Ms20) - £50
Behringer Composer (overall mixer compressor and side chaining) - £40
Behringer Dualfex (or fat bass) - Free (given by a friend)
All in a Buster Case - £150

All costs (including £20 for leads which I am sure is a gross underestimation) = £500

I can set the whole lot up in under 15 minutes.

I played a 3/4 hour set yesterday along side DJ's, the MPC controlling all the internal effects and program changes, leaving me to have a jolly good time cutting in live drums thanks to the pads. They were all rather amazed that this enormous great sound was coming from such a small blue box.

Fantastic. Lets hope there are many more. It works far better than trying to get image and url tags to work on this website.

Nice.

Man that 'Heaven' track on your site is mental! I don't listen to much of that style of music but this I just couldn't stop until it reached at least 5mins. Beatkicks reminds me of the old Amiga demos - kept expecting my screen to start twirling around and zooming in and out in time to the beat! ;)


Keep it up sir.

I went to Washington and New York in February (I am from England). I bought an Iriver H320 20gb hard drive to aid my day job as a guitar teacher and to use travelling. It has a rather brillliant feature allowing you to record directly off the radio to 320kb mp3s. I recorded hours of god-squad radio, the blokes voice on 'Heaven' was so full of passion and power. I was itching to get using it when I got back.

The mix is a bit long as you mention. The reason was I was building a set for breakdancers, the whole thigs was based around alot of synth jamming and pad pushing. It needs about a minute shaved off it. My favourite is 'Move' although I have recently finished another one called 'Can you feel it' which I will put up there soon.

Thanks for looking.

Seconded on 'Heaven'. Nice stuff indeed.

The God-Squad vocal clips are spot on: I always wondered what happened to the guy who did the voiceovers for Duke Nukem...
