Ok, heres what I've been gigging with for the last year or so...


Firstly, using Traktor Scratch Pro (and 2) meant I was able to recommission my favourite record bag, its a limited edition Global Underground UDG 50. Ive had it for years and its been through hell, though doesnt show it!




Open it up and we see a UDG CD wallet with my timecode CDs and a few normal audio CDs as a back up or to kick off with if having to wire up at the start of a set. Also my 13" MPB and my A&H Xone 1d with customised top.




Delve a bit deeper and we get to cables and stuff...the right hand side pocket houses my Audio 8 inside a Xigma case...and the front pocket houses my main ear goggles, HD25's




Delve deeper still and we uncover my backup ear goggles, MDR-V700's, a Shure SM58 Mic and a pair of Ortofon DJS Concordes.



It all just about fits!
