[NEW RELEASE] LACOSTE - ARDEUR 75 YEAR

René Lacoste is above all, a legend. A star on the courts of Wimbledon, Forest Hills and Roland Garros, René was one of the famous Four Musketeers (Jean Borot, Jacques Brugno, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste) who dominated the game of tennis in the late ‘20s and early ‘30s. They eventually led France to six straight wins (1927 through 1932) in the Davis Cup, and Rene became the world number one tennis player from 1926-1927. Nicknamed the ‘Crocodile’ and ‘Alligator’ for his tenacious attitude on the court, Rene is now better known for being the namesake and creator of the iconic 12.12 Lacoste Tennis shirt, which debuted in 1933.

Fast forward 75 years and the brand are celebrating this momentous occasion by launching a series of monotone shoes inspired by their tennis and yachting heritage. Unique to the 75 year collection is the use of the original crocodile which originated in 1933 and is embossed onto the uppers of each shoe. Tastefully executed in a consistent black and white scheme, the pack is a fitting tribute to the original purveyor of cool. July Release...

 

Becoming a DJ is harder than one think, because of expensive equipment. You need to understand that a DJ doesn't have just one or two pieces of equipment, but rather a whole assembly of components. This allows beginners, especially, to build their of DJ mix set and get components from different companies to suit their price needs.

The greatest price margin can be found on mixers. With a huge amount of modern day features they range anywhere from $200 to $2000 and above. Amateur DJs are usually able to work just fine with ones ranging from $200-$500 when working on a budget. Amateur DJ's usually start here because even big names in the DJ equipment market such as Numark, Gemini, Aiwa, Akai, etc. produce such small economy speakers.

If you want to be great at mixing then you should go with turntables before DVD, CD or MP3 players. Yes, turntables are more expensive, but there are some quite affordable ones from companies such as Gemini at around $400. Getting faster playing records without lag usually requires direct drive turntables and is preferred over beltdriven ones by most DJ's.

Players are cheaper than turntables because they don't offer the more advanced features that turntables have. Players only output audio and doesn't allow for manipulation of sound like turntables do. DJs that just play original records go for players.

Getting a pair of cheap speakers is not unusual, so look around for cheaper speakers as that's a very normal thing to do. A low wattage speaker can be selected to save costs.There are small woofer-type speaker at around $20 each that can output stereophonic sound.

You can also get a DJ package which includes all of the most basic components you need and also headphones. You get a DJs discount for getting a package and they usually come with a pair of headphones to boot. Packages are available generally for the mixers.

Using cheap equipment may take its toll on the music; but most DJs that have talent and creativity will be able to perform anyway. The most common buyer for cheaper Djs equipment is amateurs who have just gotten started and want to try the profession before moving on to bigger and better events.
