:oops: thought it was a new design for Vestax, had only ever seen it as bird's eye view. Very sleek from the side :smoker:

I've decided to move the setup to the living room, the white wall in the bedroom was really uninspiring.

What a relief... :mrgreen:

I've also organized all the records, which makes digging for samples more efficient and fun. I didn't like the bedroom setup at all, now i'm happy again. :smoker:

I can't imagine preferring any setup over that one. :nod:

Thanks guys! It's indeed an inspiring spot and i feel blessed to call it my home! :nod:

I really didn't get into the mood when i had it all set up in the bedroom in front of that white wall...

I didn't even enjoy listening to records anymore, which is what i am really enjoying right now... as i've posted before, i've started to reorganize my records and now i'm going through all of them picking out the good ones and putting the shit ones up for sale. I had so many that i simply kept because i thought "someday you're going to find a sample to use on there", or because i felt like "better keep it, you're collecting records...". In reality it seems that i don't really like 30% of the records i have (disco/pop). My goal is to end up with a collection where every single LP i pick is either music that i love, or has at least one dope track / sample that i intend to use. Slowly getting there... starting to love my records again... can feel the motivation to make beats coming back! :smoker: :mrgreen:

can relate to so much of this mate, sitting at a white wall getting no inspiration. can really fck up your mood. i put a portable TT in my lounge to play old funk stuff, feels great.
