For sale: Technics SL-1210 MK2

Faskil — Mon, 12 May 2008 16:26:50 +0000

I’m selling my turntables, two Technics SL-1210 MK2 in mint condition. Here’s a brief summary for those who are not familiar with those bad boys:

The industry standard. You’ll find this turntable in the majority of clubs around the world, and with good reason. This deck was the first to feature a Direct Drive motor, quartz movement for total accuracy, adjustable tone arm weights, anti-skate control, a pop-up target light and a sliding pitch control.

Vibration Resistant Construction
A die-cast aluminum body, heavy rubber base, and a lack of unnecessary components or empty space allow the 1210MK2 to absorb unwanted vibrations that could otherwise interfere with the sound.
Ultra-Low-Speed Motor / Super-High Torque
The 1210MK2’s ultra-low-speed motor and high torque (1.5kg/cm) allow for super quick start-ups (0.7 sec) and stops.
Quartz Locked Pitch Adjustment
Allows for accurate quartz-locked pitch adjustments throughout its 16 percent (+/-8) range.
Total Direct-Drive Accuracy
Instead of just spinning the platter, the classic Technics Direct-Drive system actually incorporates it into the motor, reducing the number of parts that can malfunction and making consistent, accurate speeds possible. It’s a system that has been providing fast start-up times and unequalled responsiveness for over thirty years. Wow & flutter 0.01% WRMS, rumble -78dB.

I’m asking 650 € for the two decks (that’s 325 € each). Feel free to contact me if you’re interested.

Coalesced - Technique (Faskil Mix) (take 2)

Faskil — Thu, 08 May 2008 19:56:49 +0000

Barely recovering from a bad case of pharyngitis that kept me under the sheets for a few days, I worked a bit more on the Coalesced remix, ’cause the clock is ticking, I’m running late and the label is expecting a final version pretty soon. Almost everything is in place now, all I need to do is work a little bit more on the structure and add a few twists here and there.

Anyways here’s a preview of what I have so far…

A sad day

Faskil — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:52:36 +0000

It is a very sad day for the electronic music community. Human Adams, 24, bright and beloved producer, has passed away. I was introduced to his music a few months ago through my friend Pole Folder and became an instant fan. I don’t really know what else to say… All my thoughts are with his friends and family. He will be missed.

04/23 RIP Human Adams

It is a horrible day when we lose a member of our family, and I am extremely sad to inform our listeners that Human Adams has passed away this week. Human was a bright up & coming producer that had released music on many labels friends to Proton: Groove Collection, Morrison Recordings, and Existence.

The news came to me on the day we released his remix of “Mona Kea” by Pole Folder on our own label, Proton Music. His family contacted us with no further details, only to confirm his passing. I do not have any further details to share with you, and the family has requested privacy in the matter.

In my brief conversations with Human I felt a lot of passion and energy towards making music. I think he had a bright future ahead of him. He was extremely gung-ho about the Pole Folder release and would check in with me numerous times on the latest updates and progress towards release. He sent me upcoming demos and expressed interest in becoming more involved. He will be missed, and I hope some of you can take a moment to listen to his music and think of him.

Proton has contacted Beatport and they’ve helped us set Human’s remix of “Mona Kea” as a free download. If you would like download his release you’re now able to do so at no cost. Here is the link.

RIP, friend.

Coalesced - Technique (Faskil Mix)

Faskil — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:50:58 +0000

If you are new to this website, here’s how it works: usually, from time to time, I upload samples from stuff I’m working on. Right now, it’s a remix for my Coalesced friends, for a track called “Technique” (for which Derek Howell and Grid System are also doing remixes). I started messing around with the original parts and added a few of my own, namely new drums and bass lines. Here’s what I came up with after roughly an hour of work.

I’m probably gonna use this part for the intro of the track, then switch to the main melody. But more on that later, folks! Have a good one!

Gameblog Theme

Faskil — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 13:22:48 +0000

This is a (very) short track I did for my friends at Gameblog.fr. It’s a 30 second drum & bass tune that should fit at the beginning of their podcasts. If they like it, of course.

Funny how the smaller you go, the harder it gets to squeeze everything you want in. But I’m pretty happy about the result. What do you think?

“Rezi” remix on James Warren’s mix for Hybridized

James Warren just told me he used his Coalesced remix of Rezi on his latest DJ set for Hybridized. You can download the whole thing here.

Rezi is still scheduled on Silk Digital, some time around this summer.

For my French-speaking friends who read this blog, some news regarding the birth of Morceau Choisi v2.0, a brand new revamped version of my music-oriented news website.

Thanks to everybody who contributed and who’ll contribute in the future as well. As you’ll see, the website is still a bit empty at the moment, but we’re working hard to put some fresh content in it as soon as possible.

Stay tuned!
