Name : Vijay Kumar (DjitalMixX)
Based : Wellingborough-Northants
About me, Dj (I do produce if i get the time). I worked for FutureDjs but work independantly now as DjitalMixX.
What i have been doing is going into schools tutoring pupils how to Dj as part of the GCSE ciriculum. (40%) of a music grade. There is also an Dj exam if students wish to take.
Decks are now classed as an instrument through London College Of Music Education set up by FutureDjs.
I also Dj around through Dj agencies where the work is. I usually take my Pioneer XDJ-RR all in one unit with USB drives.
I work mainly in Ableton Live (10) with the Push 2 and have produced some tracks over lockdown. Ps i also worked full time during the Pandemic!!
To be fair doesnt matter what software or gear you are using its the end result.
All tracks i produced have been with Ableton Intro, probably why i havent upgraded to Ableton 11.
Also a member of Ableton Leciester group and hope to attend when their workshops are up and running.
I do live streams and perform usually twice a month. This was a massive learning curve and some times was a struggle with OBS and music copyrights on FB.
I prepare all my music through Rekordbox Dj. My favorite Dj is James Hype as i love his creativity and original style.
Love Pirate studios as you know you gonna get creative there. And sometimes meet and make friends.
Thanks and have a great creative day every one

Nice to meet you guys! Didn’t know there was a community section here, better introduce myself
Who am I?
My name is Nathan, I’m a multimusician from Glasgow, currently living in Dumfries & Galloway, and I’m 19. Guitar is my main instrument, which I have been playing since I was 11.
What do I create?
I’ve producing instrumental alternative rock music, since I was in Secondary School. Although my earlier works are more crude, I’ve been enjoying learning how to make my music sound more professional. I’ve performed with bands & would very much like to create my own band. Currently, I’ve been trying to arrange my music for a live setting using the Logic Remote.
Which studio do I use?
I use the one in Glasgow. It’s a bit of a mission to get to from D&G, but fortunately I stay in Glasgow during the week for college.
What do I listen to?
Right now, I’m listening to a lot of early 2000s indie. Bloc Party being the main one. Radiohead was also a huge inspiration for me, growing as a musician. Although, generally, I am open to all genres.

Hey Mark, welcome! You should check out the mini-documentary we made on @GM43627331 getting into DJIng, it’s epic https://pirate.com/en/blog/find-your-space/gary/

Who am I?
Manolo Husky - 26 yo Rapper/Producer born, raised & based in Brooklyn, NY.
What do I create?
Hip hop/Rap mainly. I’ve been rapping & making beats since about 8th grade so quite literally half my life at this point. I like to think I’m pretty good at both. Sometimes I like to f*ck around and make random shit like some house shit you’d hear in the background on Love Island (the UK/superior version) or some straight up Wu-Tang inspired shit. My biggest inspirations are Action Bronson, Danny Brown, Jay-Z, RZA, DOOM, and Adele.
Which studio do I use?
I’ve used the Bushwick studio with a friend to workshop some podcast ideas but now I’ll be planning on using Gowanus since its closer to my crib for rehearsal space.
What do I listen to?
A lot of different stuff tbh. Sometimes jazz, sometimes soul. Sometimes classical, sometimes Billy Joel. (Shout out the GOAT Billy one time.) I try to listen to a lot of different genres for inspiration and ideas I wouldn’t otherwise get from listening to only rap. But I’ve been on a big Rakim/Big Daddy Kane binge lately in preparation for how I’d like to approach my first demo tape in terms of tapping into and harnessing that sort of energy & vibe. Enjoy the rest of your day & keep it going pirate community; lets make some crack, fam.

Who am I?
Matt Gaffen, front man of 3 piece alt-punk band Hearse Pileup. By day I’m an experienced web developer and by night I shout about modern day ills, or write interesting little code experiments.
What do I create?
Politically conscious punk music. I try to write in a way that doesn’t force an ideology, instead focusing on pointing out a problem and encouraging the listener to come tot heir own conclusions. I also have dreams of getting more into VJ type stuff for creating interactive stage visuals. Occasional Podcaster.
Which studio do I use?
We used Greenwich for a good time, but we’ve recently changed drummer and Dalston is our new go-to as a result.
What do I listen to?
A lot of stuff, but I’m particularly fond of heavy rock - Songs for the Deaf was a landmark record for me and made a big impression. Lighning Bolt I’m also pretty fond of. I listen to a lot of computer game music, and am always looking for something new to listen to. I really enjoyed “Sometimes I might be Introvert” by Little Simz.
