NEED HELP FOR EBEL SUMMERFEST

Hey my fellow ebellians.....

As you know i'll be playing on the ebel summerfest, 26th of juli @ scheld'apen, together with the ELFENman.....

This will be the last gig I play in the old way. This means that it's the last time i'll do a dj-ish thing with my music. Since it's a vs with the ELF there will be plenty of variaton, so it's kind of a live with machines vs dj thingie....

Anywayz, i'm having trouble with my double cd player at the moment, so i wanted to ask if anyone that is coming that day, has a double cd player with pitch control that i could use.... A dj mixer i can arrange myself, but the cd player is a problem, and Bandar told me that they don't have it @ scheld'apen....

If i don't find one, i will have to rent one , but our budget isn't that big, so it would be cool if someone could help out here !!!!

After this gig ( and my holiday ) i'm buying a laptop and ableton, and a soundcard with lots of outputs, and i'm going to be doing more live-stuff.....

I need a new challenge ^^

So anyone that can help ?

Lemme know.....

Largish CDJ 1000 kind of thing necessary or just anything with pitch will do?

I've got cdplayers you could use (they're just collecting dust in my basement atm and the play button needs some cleaning), but unfortunately I'm in South Africa from 18th on. If you can't find someone else, drop me a line and we'll work something out

Aight, if Kyran can help you out that'll probably do. I could maybe get something somewhere but then I'dn eed to ask around.

BTW, why don't they ask provinciale uitleendienst Antwerpen? http://www.danspunt.be/index.php?onderdeel=2950

As long as you're an organisation, VZW etc., you can get this kind of thing in all regions. VGC in Brussels offers complete soundsystems for 100 euro a day including technicians and cd players for 4 euro. I think they're just Denons, but they DO have pitch...

Apparrently, Antwerpen has cd-players for 1 euro for a week. That doesn't seem all THAT expensive ;) You can get a mixer and 2 cd-players in a specific flightcase for 4,5 euro a week: http://www.pudm-catalogus.be/asp/pudm.asp

(Incidentally, this is the kind of thing that would make organising events so much easier if you chaps would ever decide on becoming that VZW/ASBL we talked about 5 years ago ;))

This is supposing Scheldapen officially exists for them, of course, which I presume it does by now?

Very interesting, thx for the info Fish.....

Scheldapen is an official vzw for a couple of years now, i was there when they started out, some 10 years ago  .....

Soit, so it would be doable. Say Bandarlog, what do you think, this would be the perfect solution imho....

For me denons or sumetin similar is good enough to use on stage so.....

Could you check this with scheld'apen and with the ' renting service ' , Bandarlog? Just a matter of a few phonecalls....

When it's arranged , lemme know, i can pick the player(s) up and return them afterwards if needed, no problem there.....

Dist, that's an option indeed.  But you arrange it with Scheldapen.  You wanted to coöperate on this one, well you need the cd-players, you fix it :)).  I'll be happy to refund the €1.

ok, you give me the phone number of the dude you arranged everything with, and also his name ( so i know who i need to talk to )

grmmbll..... good that it's for ebel.....another organiser wouldn't have to ask me to rent stuff for my performance.... in the past it was allways arranged by the organiser.....

Well, that's because I'm no organiser.  I'm organiser out of 'force majeur'.  I hate organising in fact.  And JMF is right: it sucks that electyrobel isn't a vzw.  That's one of the things that made me 'an organiser' all of a sudden.  Now my name is under the 'subsidiecontract', which I don'y like either.  But soit...  for me too it's just because it's electrobel that it's worth the effort.
