Even got into James Arthur and Edd sheeran recently,Just bought Farrell Williams new album as a bday present to myself.

Me too

I still listen to it all the time. I've collected as many CDs as I can but there are many tracks (or versions/remixes of them) that never made it over to CD.

So last year I bought a 1210 and starting collecting Jungle/early dnb vinyl. I've had to pack my hifi gear away for now as I'm having work done on the house

Jungle & D&B was where it was at, I have quite a few Tapes from my Bush Doctor days, I still have a good bounce around the garage when i'm working in there sometimes.

Adam aka Special X on here keeps promising to make cd's for me but nothing has materialised as yet.

There is something about vinyl, especially if when you first heard that music it was on that format.

Music streaming is currently mine. I bought a Sonos play:1 a while back and it's a fantastic piece of kit, works seamlessly across platforms. Muchos cool.

Small compared to many DJ's but guess around 3,000-4,000 currently in my 'man-cave' upstairs along with some of my CD collection and DJ'ing equipment.

Few pics after a sort around of furniture,

For space-saving as the deck stand I built years previous was "full", I picked up some MDF boarding from Wickes and built myself a twin CDJ stand and separate speaker stands for my KRK studio monitors,

It's constantly evolving when I shuffle the storage about and there's quite a few more unsorted records to go through after two more recent purchases.

It's my little hideaway in the house.

Sad day today chocco

Being from RSA I know a couple local DJs that create their own music that is their take on house, trance and DnB music in SA. The scene is bigger than what people expect and is still growing.

The underground scene is massive, trance and acid jazz shows go together hand-in-hand and both floors normally show really great music from the local scene.

My mate BioMech has put on some insane DnB shows along with Counterstrike and a few others that really pushed the envelope at times with sheer DnB/Jungle music greatness.

My mate (BioMech) and I create our own take on progressive electronica under the name _sedate. We'll be mixing and mastering our first EP in the next few days. Will then upload all our old songs and demo material to our Soundcloud page.

I've got a charge Charge TTI as well - got it in the US when the £/$ was ~1:2 so silly cheap. Hardly take it out these day though, as I suspect the locking knife blade could be a source of trouble. I have a Knifeless Fuse for everyday use.

Cinema systems with me. Can't help myself.
There are 4 rooms in my house with a system set up at the moment and they've all been replaced at some point with the old ones being passed on to family and friends.

The Gadget Show went and reviewed the Sony BDV-N7100W recently so I'm going to collect one of those this weekend as a result.

Dunno which one it's replacing yet. Maybe it can go in the kitchen?
