You want to have a DJ room or maybe make  changes on the one you have,
Menny will guide you  to start the dream

My experience with dj tables is more than 20 years, I have lived and work in different environments, sometimes having a lot of space, and sometimes having none! But I always manage to have my corner where I can play music. My first cassette shelf was from old window drape frame, CD shelf I made from the wood I stole from  neighbor house. I have made also vhs shelfs, dvd’s, cd’s, book or vinyl shelfs… you name it, I have a story and experience with them. With good bugged and with NO $ in your packet.

Today I will narrow some of my favorite websites and some of my favorite pictures so you can build some imagination for your future DJ booth. It can be in your club or a lounge, bedroom, basement, apartment, wherever you live, always there is a room for your toys

(pic of my room upfront)
took me 20 years to have this room, it’s the final one. But before this I show you some other rooms I went threw!

(Pic in Brooklyn) In one room I had my bedroom, my wife, my tv, my pc, closets, bike and 238467 more things. Still I menage to make a small dj booth to soothe my soul with music.

I’m not a musician, but lately I found great interest in instruments. Here is a picture of me playing the slit gong. I almost got kicked from the museum because I was drumming for 30 minutes   loved the bass! I don’t think we will ever get equipment to record the real sound this gong made!

please read…
and find out the beginning of the modern bass and text messaging!

A Slit gong, sometimes also called “slit drum”, is a log drum used throughout Africa, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. It is usually called a boungu in Africa. A whole log is hollowed out through a narrow slit running the length of the log. Slit gong players use padded sticks to produce a range of penetrating musical notes, depending on where and how the gong is struck. The gong may be carved into various pleasing or significant shapes. Slit gongs are often referred to as drums, even though this is slightly incorrect; drums are technically membranophones whereas a slit gong is an idiophone.

In most instruments, the wood on the two sides of the slit is of different thickness, resulting in tones of different pitch. They can therefore be used to imitate the tonal patterns found in tonal languages. Instruments with two slits (like the ones shown on the picture) can thus have up to four different pitches.

Slit gongs, strategically situated for optimal acoustic transmission (e.g. along a river or valley), have been used for long-distance communication. Lats say you was in the Jungle and the village was attacked I will have played the alarm, they had different pattern for different situation or people to call!

Amazing right?!

I’m back from paradise
