I finally received the turntable today! Don’t have time to write — gotta scratch!

A while ago I ordered a Stanton T.120 turntable from DJSuperstore, and a Stanton SA.3 mixer and Ortofon Concorde Scratch needle + cartridge from Musicstore.de. Now, the mixer, cartridge and needle were all delivered over a week ago, but apparently DJSuperstore has some problems coming up with my T.120 and apparently they tell me nothing unless I email them 3 times on different addresses and ask over and over again. Last I heard from them they said that the turntable they’d reserved for me was damaged when it went to dispatch and they’re now awaiting a replacement from Stanton and that they’d mail a confirmed date the next day, which they didn’t. Of course, I had to drag that out of them with the spamming mentioned earlier — the last I heard from them without eliciting anything my order was waiting to be shipped and they’d let me know when it actually did.

Now, I’m pretty sure that they’re not trying to rip me off or anything like that, but it’s still a major pain in the ass that they’re so slow and so bad at communicating with their customers. If anyone knows some way of pressuring them into hurrying up, please let me know — I’m getting somewhat impatient here.

After 2 years (2 fscking years!) I’ve finally finished the track for the Composition Challenge: Kitchop (MP3, on Google Pages). As you may — or may not — recall, Jesper’s challenge to me was, “make a song containing at least three things from your kitchen and you rap … in danish.” My challenge to him was,“make a song with real hand-claps (that is, you clap) in it, no drums/drumsamples and at least one instrument must have audible reverb.“

Jesper finished his song (The Devil) in, like, 1 week(!), so I guess it’s about time I finished mine. Sorry for the delay, Jesper.

Update (June 19, 2008, 19:10): There were a couple of mixing and compression related problems with the track, so a new (and better) version has been uploaded. If you’ve downloaded the song before this update please re-download it and enjoy even more!

Asked my friend Mikkel (aka. DJ Smart Fætter Mikkel) to put a little scratch on our recent Migato Estalo Co. track Køledisk, and the result is the hit of the summer 2008. Get it while it’s hot! (Kindly hosted on Google Pages for your download pleasure.)

It spent a long time in its raw form on my external hard drive missing only the last few details and mixing, which we never really got around to. Well, we finally got around to it! So without further ado, I give you: Migato Estalo Co. - Køledisk (MP3, hosted on GooglePages).
