Join the forum discussion on this post Lately the Mix of the Moment selections have come off as a bit of a let down. Rev. Voodoo has been tryin to jump the gun with getting you the latest mixes. That means posting things that are fresh, without having time to give them a listen. The past couple mixes have been pretty poor quality, short cell phone type recordings. Well, that’s over! This mix is from DJ Goncalo M, recorded live on May 16 at Figueira da Foz. It’s some seriously hard bangin’ Portugese techno. This one is great for drivin’ fast, turn it way up!

Movement Flyer
It’s that time of the year again party people. Less than a week away from our yearly festival in Detroit. Whether you call it DEMF or Movement, it’s always a blast. Here’s a look at this year’s lineup by day and stage. (Click continue reading for full lineup.)
Here’s my other lot of records for sale. 65 (technically 70, as there are multidisc sets) pieces of Drum and Bass goodness (Record #44 was removed from lineup as it wasn’t mine). I’m trying to sell the whole lot at first, I may break the collection up if the lot doesn’t sell. A DJ bag can be included if wanted. Price is very negotiable. I need money and space! $150 sounds fair as a starting asking point. List follows:
Rev. Voodoo finally got around to compiling all his vinyl. The first lot up for sale is my House and related (ie: non DnB-tech, techno, progressive) sack of vinyl. It’s a lot of 36 records, plus bag if you want the bag. I’d prefer not to part out the collection if possible as I’m trying to offload the whole collection. I’m in need of cash, and space in my house. I may be renovating soon to rent the house out. There are some serious collectibles / hard to find items in here. I think the collection has some from back in 94ish. It’s pretty heavy on the Frankie Bones and that style, but that’s how I do it. Starting price is $70, make me an offer! List is below:
I just wanted to repost for local folks one last time that all my DJ gear is for sale along with my vinyl. I haven’t sat down to count the vinyl or get the titles yet, but you are welcmoe to come by and check it out. Here is the link to the original post with a detailed description. But a quick breakdown follows:
All prices are quite negotiable, I need to offload this stuff soon. If it’s not gone this week, I’m turning to craigslist and ebay. I hope somebody finds a good home for my stuff! Next on the chopping block will be lighting. Probably my scanning intelligent laser and a DXM controller as a package. I’ll officially post that soon for around $300 I think. If you are interested before I post, call, email, or text.
The first thing I’m looking to offload is the Vestax VCI100, google it, it rocks. I got it brand new, and it’s used once. I believe its a refurb unit. It goes for $400 on ebay. Its in the original box with all documentation and an unopened disc that includes Traktor 3 le. (We can easily include a copy of Traktor DJ Studio 3 Full Edition if need be). I’m trying to get $300 for this item. You won’t find a price close to that anywhere.
Next up for sale is my full DJ rig. 2 Technics 1210 m3d turntables, and a Pioneer DJM 600 mixer, along with the case that they are in. I’m trying to sell all these together. I may eventually sell separate if needed.
The 1210 m3d tables are the black ones. They are the euro versions so they have the euro plug (that’s why I included the pic of the 2 prong plug above. I’ve got the adapters on the tables so they can be used on standard American outlets. The motors on the turntables are going very strong and Ive never had a problem with them. Here’s the problems with the turntables. One of them has a dented on/off switch. The switch works just fione, its just more difficult to use. One of the tonearms will need replaced, it is bent. The other tonearm could use a replacement, it just has a loose connection to the cartridge (needle). It will usually work fine with some fanagling if you don’t want to change it. It will cost you about $100 or so per tonearm to replace. The parts are cheap, maybe $40 or so. It’s the labour that shops charge, so if you are handy you can do this yourself.
The mixer is well used. It’s missing some knobs and fader tabs. All the functions work just fine. You can buy a knob pack online to replace these quite cheap. Or pull em off an old mixer like I’ve done in the past. All the functions can be used using the posts the knobs sit on, so its up to you if they actually need replaced. Many people have done many shows on this mixer as is. This mixer is and has been reliable for years, but it does have the miles on it.
And finally the case. It’s just a standard large DJ case that holds both tables along with the mixer. It has a pocket on the end for headphones and cartridge case, or to stack records while playing.. Its in good shape and will last forever. It has handles on both ends for carrying, and wheels on one end to rol it around. The full rig is quite heavy, so the wheels come in handy.
I will also include my cartridges. They are a pair of ortofon DJ s cartridges. They both work fine, but the tips are pretty high mile and could probably stand to be replaced.
I’ve looked around online, and full DJ rigs are still going for 750-900 bucks with lesser mixers, older model techs, and no case. But considering the fact that this gear needs some work, I’ll start my asking price at $600 (with delivery in the local area!).
Finally, I will be selling off my vinyl collection. I’ve got a bagfull of Drum and Bass, and a Bag of Tech House and related vinyl. Contact me for more info, I’ll get a full count of my vinyl available. I’d like to sell the records as a lot, or split by genre. I’ll consider breaking up the vinyl if I don’t have any takers. Price is very negotiable. Each genre comes with its own bag, how convenient.
Like I stated in the description, this equipment nees some TLC. Its not ready to use, you’ll need at least one tonearm replacement to get started.
All prices listed here are open to negotiation! I’ll sell to best offer. If you need this equipment shipped, you will have to pay for shipping.
I hope someone can find a use for my gear. I’ll miss it.
Well, it’s been quite a while since Rev. Voodoo has played around with some quality Tech or Progressive House. So here’s a mix for the folks who have been missing it. It’s about half good! As has been mentioned here previously, the Rev has troubles when recording….and this set is no different. But deal with it! The tracks are real nice, and there are a good variety here, not to mention some Voodoo Empire Exclusives. Below is even included a semi-complete tracklist.
