Simon Iddol & mango @ Illegal Sunday / WAMP
2011.04.17. Erzsébet tér, Budapest

many of you asked us about our live setup, so here it is
- two MIDI synched laptops running Ableton Live
- various controllers
(in this case: Stanton SCS.1m, AKAI APC20, M-Audio Oxygen25)
- various softwares and plugins
(Mixed In Key, software synths for drums and basslines)

what we do with it?
its a DJ set VS live act type of thing
mashups, remixes and originals
mixed with acapellas, extra drums, basslines and melodies

the result?
a massive journey through moods, feelings and genres

first days with the KRK Rokit8 monitors

as you know it already
few days ago I got a pair of yellow faced monsters
since then I’m one of the happiest artists in this planet
I started to use them just before NYE
here are my first experiences

- they are BIG and heavy (15 kg per unit)
and the boxes are a lot bigger live than on any picture
think about a pair of mini fridges on your table
don’t get it wrong, it’s a great thing
they are catching the attention of anyone who enters the room

- their sound is MEGA
very clear, bangin’ and balanced
they sound great on low and high levels too
actually I’ve discovered new sounds in my own tracks

- you can feed them via RCA, XLR or 1/4” TRS
I’m using 1/4” TRS - XLR cables, but they are great with RCA’s as well

obviously few days are not enough for a longer test
I will let you know more later on
but the main thing is
I get inspired just by listening music on these bad boys
and you know what it means ;)

Simon Iddol + Stanton

months ago I’ve mentioned A THING
as one of my most important career milestones
but I was not allowed to say more about it

lads and gents, here is my BIGGEST secret so far

the world’s leading DJ tech brand, Stanton signed me into their artist team
2 years, exclusive, worldwide
so I’m not allowed and I don’t want to touch anything but Stanton gear ;)

besides of DJing with Stanton gear all over the world
I plan to do a lotta special projects with them
to help and boost the digital music scene
so stay tuned for more details

I can’t tell you how happy I am
and I think this whole Simon Iddol craze reached the next level

Stanton 4 life!

how to treat your artists

I’ve broke my headpones on one of the Sziget VIP gigs
I guess it was kindda my fault
that was a terrible night anyway, so I was trying get over on it
I had a spare one, but I needed a new pair as a backup
so I’ve briefly mentioned it to Stanton few days ago
and look what happened
I got two new pairs yesterday via UPS in 2-3 days from Miami
wooooow

MAJOR RESPECT to the Staton posse
I think this is how brands should treat their artists
it feels wonderful to belong a family like this ;)

hopefully I can tell you more about this milestone thing soon ;)

Stanton <3 Simon Iddol

I’m the happiest digital DJ on this planet today
the great folks of ZAJ DJ supported me with this beauty
they are the Staton dealers in Hungary and we plan further things together
so, further good news will come
I will use my SCS.3m with Ableton Live of course

now I have a brilliant and futuristic controller
I can use 4 tracks with EQs and effects
the touch sensitve pads are super cool and the contol leds are MEGA
and the unit fits in my laptop bag easily
I was waiting to put my hands on this baby for months
now I will touch it all night long, or even longer
I will make a detailed test/review thinggy in few days about my experiences

STANTON 4 LIFE!
