Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Hey folks!
I am Not A DJ, but I like to take music that crosses my path and play it together. A whole lot of this music comes from you here at GAW. I appreciate all the tunes you all share. It means a lot to me.
Tagging u/pepesee in particular, because I played a lot of your recent links. "The Frog Song" - absolute classic Hardkiss banger. One of my wife's favorites.
I won't say any more, but I'll try to check in tomorrow, Lord willing. Seems like it was a big day for the movement.
DJ POLICE - 27 jam packed minutes.
Nice progression, man. And I don't give a shit about tricks, or even if one can mix unless they just train wreck and can't hear it and try to keep it going - the journey is the important part, so I'd say you're a DJ, dude.
I know, lol. It's a long story and I've been busy AF since dropping it, but I truly appreciate it. I mix using potplayer, so no real pitch control, no queue ability, etc. Throwing darts. I'll revisit this thread later today... On the road. 👀
"potplayer" huh huh, huh huh
u/335K If you like frog songs, may I recommend "Peace Frog" by The Doors?

Yoink! Going in the record stack. Though I'm already familiar. 😉
Pretty sure "taking music that crosses one's path and playing it together" = "DJing." :)
I'll have to listen later, skipping thru some are strangely familiar.
BTW the "frog" mix (Wrong Side of Town) of this does not actually have Hardkiss involvement, though another mix (Fungus, har har) does*. And the "Dust Brothers" mix is the Chemical Brothers (who were dumb enough to name themselves after the US hip hop producers as like homage or something apparently without realizing that's not exactly how it works)(the real DB did Paul's Boutique - which was originally intended to be hip hop dance tunes till the BB convinced them they could in fact rap over the stuff).

Edit: What's interesting/funny is I'd totally forgotten it's not even the original release. From the comments it would seem a couple people are unaware of the remixes - one even pines for some LOL.

*Moar edit: HUH! WRONG. Here we are 30 years later and I realize "Remix - Next School" - uh hover/click that! NO WONDER this was (IIRC) on a comp of theirs and not the mix obviously credited to them (which isn't nearly as memorable). ROFL amazing.
