"Doctormix" Unmasked? huh??
retro freak!
Class 95fm with this programme called Retro Nite with Doctormix.
aside from Joe and FD doin a great job in the mornings, i just think
that the music doctormix plays on the weekends is absolutely fantastic!
even if we did not have plans after work on Fri and Sat....we just tune
in to Class 95 from 8 - 11pm to unwind while we do our work!
We also caught Dr.Mix once live at Celebrities Asia & Studio East on
numerous occasions and i must say Dr.Mix parties the crowd!! Also, in
the show....a LIVE Guitarist!! Wow! We never expected that! The Studio
East anniversary we went to was also cool!!!
Don't know where this person gets the music from but it sure makes us
boogie even in the car!! Quite a lot of rare tracks that have not been
heard for a long time. I freaked out when i heard Sheila E's - Love
Bizarre or Curiosity Killed the Cats' - Misfits and many more! I have
also heard rare tracks by Chic like Goodtimes! Awesome !!
What disappointed me was the fact that there was a sour grape amongst us
earlier in the newsgroup. No names mentioned. For this person's
information, Dr.Mix does his mixing live. I have friends who are mobile
Djs' who were with me on these nights too to see the performance. i am
not a music freak or technical but from my point of view, this person
is doin a great job mixing the music!!! Keep it up Dr.Mix and Class
95!!!! Only
your station plays the good stuff!!

i think i have to agree with you on this "doctor-mix" person.
we are currently working in the US now for the past year and the music i
say is really entertaining. The 70's and 80's were good decades for
music. Let's not forget the 90's too.
Somehow.....Dr.Mix blends and fuses the songs well. From where we are now,
there are many radio stations. There are lots of them!!
But when we log on to the net on the weekends....it's class 95... just to
keep in touch of what's happening back home in Singapore. One more
thing....it is good that Dr.mix is actually including the new stuff by
Phats and Small, EBTG, Fatboy, etc...
thumbs up from the Singaporeans in Oregon, USA!!!

"Class 95 Retro Night" jingle during the mixing...
It's kind of disturbing and it disrupts the flow...

i think other Dj's in Singapore who deserve a pat on the back will be
Brendon Perera(nox) and Andrew Chow(zouk)...
these three are the best in Singapore!!!

Hmm....but i don't mind dedications though =)
Like, say, let people phone in, and broadcast their dedication with the
music in the background, then their dedicated song coming up immediately
after that IN THE MIX !!!
Hmm....that would be very exciting =)

Zoo 101.6 FM ??
They were big back then in the late 80s and early 90s before Perfect Ten
came along and burst their bubble.
Zoo used to have a similar program to Class 95's weekend, with continous
mixes.
And I think the DJ was called Dr Mix too !
Is this the same person ?

retro night started out very good. that is to say, 80s and a little of
90s music in its original version. however, of late, Dr. Mix starts to
remix those songs. i find it a little distasteful.
of late, i have started to tune in to 90.5FM on sat nights. past 8pm,
they have this program called 'Saturday Night Fever'. songs are all
truly retro. and best of all, in its original version. so for anyone
enjoying class 95's retro night over the weekend, perhaps, u can try for
once, tuning in to 90.5's saturday night fever. i am sure some will
like it.
cheers!

don't see how that'll be done, considering the whole Dr Mix segment is
pre-recorded. the mixing is done on a computer by a program that
measures the tempo of a song and it figures out where just the right
place is to mix in the next song. all the 'deejay' has to do is input
which songs to mix together and the computer will do it for him. no
human DJ can ever mix like that, never any errors, always perfect.
don't ask me how they do it live coz i've never seen the show, but if
artistes can lipsynch convincingly, i'm sure the DJ can 'mix-synch' or
something.

so so to me.
gotta give Dr.Mix an "A" for effort to try varios tactics on the
turntables. Some people might like it, some people might not. Anyway, it
is far beyond better than Gold's programme cause it is mixed like being in
a disco. that is a big difference! for God's sake i have a niece that is
aged 16 and a dad who is 62 listening to Dr.Mix on the weekends! My DJ
friends salute to his mixing tactics. And he has even played Elvis's
songs!! It surprised me! and then, he plays the new stuff! good
combination. yeah...we are all stuck in a retro era....but Dr.Mix from
what i see and hear...is gearing up for the new millenium.
and to the person who thought he does his mixes on a computer, sorry to
break the news but this person does it raw. and yes..retro is actually all
about the 70's but the music programming is incredible ! sticking to one
era might not appeal to the masses. that is the reason why i think Class
95 is No.1.
someone told me that he is using a Powerbook G3 when he goes on tour. cool
huh?
heard his early works when i attended a Dinner and Dance in 1986!!! imagine
.....i got a shock when i heard that name on Class 95 when the programme
surfaced! this guy has been around the industry for a long time i
suppose. i also had friends from New York over the last few days and they
heard the programme during dinner on Sat. They were amused with Dr.Mix!!
who knows???? he might be the next Fat Boy Slim???? u will never know.
jennifer
errors? well, he can man! we have seen him perfom live at Studio East and
the P29 parties. believe me..it's live on 2 turntables.
we are gonna see him perform at Madam Wong's on 29th ! Someone told us he
is gonna be there.

Actually the bits that I don't enjoy are when the tune changes from 90s to
something 70s....=(
And I don't like the use of bonus beats to blend a 90s song with a 70s
song.
Though this might be because most 70s songs have a very short intro and
hence the need for these bonus beats.
The rest of it is nice =)

nothing wrong with mixing on a computer.
It is possible to do pitch bend on mp3s and wav files on a computer.

Hmmm...really wonder if he's the same person on Zoo 101.6 during the
station's hey days.
> who knows???? he might be the next Fat Boy Slim???? u will never know.
Err...dun think so.
I've heard the session called Fat Boy Slim Vs Armand Van Helden.
And...the mixes and mixing by them is way too fantastic to be
described.....
Anyway...its a step forward for Singapore radios =)

Mmm...perfect mixing means dfferent thing to different people.
To me..it is when the song comes in at the right time, the right speed,
perfect beat match, and perfect cross-fading.
The last criteria, rarely occurs on Dr Mix shows...
So I conclude it's not always perfect =)

well, a friend of mine was trying out at RCS once. he's friends with
one of the DJs, and he showed him the computer they used to do all the
mixing for the Dr Mix show, how they did it etc. i still don't believe
it's a real person doing it. if you had that kind of talent, wouldn't
you want the world to know who you are? why is he wasting his time
making chicken feed over here? why doesn't he go make big bucks in the
states or something?

"quadmix" bunch. can't u just appreciate a local DJ's work???? we totally
support the dude man!!
can u actually mix? u sound like u are the next Fatboy Slim? And next
time....think before u get into technical stuff like mixing with computers.
Only screwed up DJ's work with computers to mix. The real jocks spin with
Vinyls like Fatboy Slim, Chemical, Andrew Chow, Oakenfold and
...........Dr.Mix!

All I can say is, the mixing is good if it was done live.
If it's done entirely using a computer , not in real time...then it's crap.
BUT do note that there are programs in the market that allows live mixing
to be done entirely on a computer, complete with the pitch bend function.
You have a point with regards to "not letting the world know who Dr Mix is"
Those in the know, will remember that Heart 91.3 FM have such a mix program
LONG before Class 95 FM started. Unfortunately, for Heart FM, the program
used to be in the wee hours of the morning (2 a.m. Saturday). Few people
know about it.
BUT at least we know who's the DJ mixing it, though the DJ never talked
during the show except for some pre-recorded jingles made with his own
voice =)
With regards to "making big bucks in the states"
Even if the mixing was all done live, despite being good, it is NOT good
enough to compete with the standard over in US, UK or anywhere else in
Europe.
> really? i don't listen to it much. just hear it sometimes when someone

> isn't perfect you know? look at Windows ;-)
Yes, yes you should, I started listening to it more closely recently in
order to determine the standard. And very often, some songs just come on
cue too late.
(the vocals had already started)
DysH

No not at all, just being logical.
Did I say Dr Mix did a bad job ?
I'm just emphasizing the fact that the mixing is not perfect, and in any
case perfect mixing in real time is near impossible.
Which is why it is very likely that Dr Mix shows might be done live ! and
hence CREDIBLE !
Even Fatboy Slim, Armand Van Helden, Judge Jules etc etc made mistakes, IF
you've heard their live mix shows before.
It then depends on the experience of the DJ to smooth out the mistake.
Can I mix ? What do you think ?
Those in this newsgroup long enough should jolly well know.
Only screwed up DJ's work with computers ???
Likely so if you are refering to continous mixes like the one done in the
clubs.
BUT NOT TRUE if you are refering to individual song mixes.
Eg. Missing (Todd Terry Mix)
It's Like That (Jasan Nevins Vs Run DMC)
Brim full of ashes (Fatboy slim remix)
Sunchyme (with samples from Life in a northern town)
If you are refering to these as well then
Hello ! So Pet Shop Boys is a screwed up group then !
Depeche Mode TOO !
To say "Only screwed up DJ's work with computers to mix"
is a rather sweeping statement.
Computers play a very important role in music making these days.
Without them, song mixing would be the tedious task of editing the master
tapes.
AND anyway back to live mixing, I know there are DJs around that uses
programs like Virtual Turntable to do their mixing.
Crap or not crap....hmmm...go to their websites and determine it yourself.
BTW Virtual Turntable is not a magical program that does all the mixing for
you =)
So...hmmmm....want more details ?

you are caught in the crossfire. Heheh.
And now, to even say put down the use of computers in music mixing and

real ones, use computers for various tasks and it need not be on the live
console.

As such is the case, I guess I have to write them down in point form
- Dr Mix is good IF the mixing is done live
- Dr Mix is crap IF the mixing was done pre-recorded with the computer
- I notice imperfections in the mixing
implies => I presume the mixing is done live
implies => The live mixing can be considered good
BUT here we have a "whole lot" of people insisting that the mixing is
perfect
when obviously it is not.
We also have "whole lot" of people insisting that it is done live, which I
said is most likely the case because of the existence of imperfections.
Logical people would have realise by now the inconsistency of the argument
by these "whole lot" of people.
"They" insist that Dr Mix mixes perfectly and that he does it live !
BUT you can only have ONE or the OTHER.
So until some "people" with good sense can come up with another logical
reason,
I conclude "Dr Mix does it live, a good job too, BUT not perfectly"
=)

put in my two cents worth.
I know DoctorMix personally and I used to be a DJ like him. He started
off somewhere in 1984 and he has practised long and hard to get where
he was today. I have done my fair share of spinning in clubs like
TGIF, Europa IP, Issei, Hotline and a few others. I have always used
the old faithful SL1200 turntable because it is the best out there. I
have never once used a computer to spice up my mixes because
1) My system is not powerful enuf
2) I do not have the required software
3) I believe in vinyl
I however have a DENON DN2000F which I used to use to mix CDs and I
still have it because vinyl is pretty hard to come by these days...
:-(
Now...DysH, in my eyes, brought up a salient point in the sense that
he is right when he said that the vocals of some of the songs clash
when DoctorMix mixes BUT I make that mistake sometimes to. In case you
all are wondering, yes...I do have my MKIIs and my DENON but sad to
say, my mixing is not as good as it was before because I do not mix
that often and when I do, it is normally maybe once a month or so. So
now, more than ever, I find that my mixes are kinda koyak....maybe
more practice is required...hahahahahaahahahah...but seriously. Any DJ
makes mistake and we are all human after all.
And as for you anonymous....DysH did not sound at all that he was
trying to be the next Fatboy Slim aka Norman Cook. He was just voicing
his opinion AS a DJ. I must say DysH, I have been to your site and
your mixes are pretty good. Maybe we should trade mixes sometime :-)
Frankly anonymous....the other person who called himself Quadmix and
slammed DoctorMix was nothing more than a bloody idiot that probably
wanted to see if he could stir up some fire. At least DysH gave
reasons for his arguments in his post and this quadmix person did not.
All quadmix wanted to do was to be a firestarter of some kind.
I have known DoctorMix since we were in Primary One and if he was in
the newsgroups, he would vouch for that. That is why I feel fully
qualified to say that he is a good DJ, having known him all these
years. He is a master at the turntables and he has kept on going till
this day, giving out quality mixes whereas I have fallen by the
wayside and got seduced by operating systems and computers which is
the reason why I am soembody totally unlike the person I used to be
years ago. BUT...like it or not...a DJ is still a DJ and it is in my
blood. I prefer in using SL1200s and MY personal reason is....I just
love vinyl! hahahahahahahahahahaahahah...just my humble opinion.
So I hope that we can let the matter rest. Hopefully we all in this
newsgroup can have better respect for each other AND give some credit
to a DJ that is keeping the DJ dream alive...DoctorMix
later..

hi Alan, just a question, since you know Dr Mix personally. why
doesn't he just reveal himself? is the air of mystery for publicity?
does he owe people money? :-)
inquiring minds want to know. i've no reason to doubt your story, it's
been more well thought out and carefully worded than the usual "wah
lau i saw him ok!! he uses turntables lah! not computer. not happy
call police!" replies. but i guess, as long as the people who hire him
know who he is and he can get his paycheck, that's good enough, eh?

my fascination with DJing has always been the scratching, like the
hip-hop DJ's in the US. have you seen the movie Juice or heard Sir
Mix-a-lot? are there any DJ's like that in Singapore or Asia? i wanted
to do that when i was young but i could never afford tables or a mixer
so i've long since given up the idea.
Alan Oliveiro
I have not asked DoctorMix why he has not chosen to reveal
himself...honest I don't! I feel that he has his own reasons and I
respect that and his secret is safe with me.
And as for the second part of the post...yeah...I agree with you.
Basically, it is just a job that one takes to feed his or her family
but for a DJ, all I can say is that it is a passion. I tell you, ther
is NOTHING that can describe playing some tunes in a disco and seeing
people go crazy when they hear a particular song. I often look back at
my times as a DJ and reminisce like crazy and sometimes I do ask
myself if I had made the right choice to give up DJing. BUT I made my
choice but a DJ in my blood I will always be.

I haven't seen the movie.
Neither have I heard Sir Mix-a-lot though the name sounds familiar.
Is there a track out there produced or mixed by him or something ?
I've just came back from UK and only just started to "try" to follow the
music scene here...
Hmmm...I never had a chance to scratch records....=(
My collection is more CD based for posterity reasons.
I'm more a mixer than a "spinning them live" person.
i.e I'm more into making song mixes (eg dance mixes or extended mixes),
not just sequential mixing of songs. And computers are quite essential in
this type of mixing =)

Monsta-Mack is a pretty good song especially the remixed version.
Plenty of scratching and all. Hope that helps.
