SL1210s
from Technics; We've got 7 of 'em in our live act, and all the
other DJs have a set. (Dean uses 3!). Altogether we've got over
13 of these prized and cherished mixing tools! This list serves only as a taster to what we use at home in our studios, but for some real gear check out the Area 51 room in the Pulse Recording Studios Complex (courtesy of Kieran Reilly) operated by our own masterfull engineer Ken Mc Hugh. All our final production, mastering, editing and mixdowns are performed here. Full spec list on the way…

Dean has plans to get rid of one of his Technics decks and get in the new Vestax PDX D3 Mk. II digital turntable, with reverse motor mode, for some real mixing possibilities!
PMC-50A from Vestax; Dean uses this the Don Corleone of pro-mixers. Absolutely the top of the range, this is a high specification mixer designed to meet the most professional requirements of dance music DJ's today. Innovative features provided by Vestax, such as User Replaceable Crossfader, VCA crossfader operation, Transformer Buttons and Crossfader Curve Adjustment have been incorporated into a club mixer of the highest grade. Features include:
THE DOG’S BOLLOX!
PMC-17A from Vestax; The standard choice of pro-mixer by the Impulsive DJ posse including Darren F, Tony, Keith, Darren N & Barry. Mixer of the year anyone???!
X-Base
09 from JoMoX; The ultimate live drum machine (useful in the
studio too), as used by Dean & Darren F (we've got 2!). A
monster! This is a motha of a drum machine. To use it is like
analogue sexual heaven. Full control and editability, endless
possibilities, coolvintage good looks and a sound & feel that
cannot be described until heard. This is real-time drum reality.
Voyager
1 from Red Sound; The one and only Beat Xtractor. The all
essential midi generater. Presently Dean & Darren F use 2 of
'em, but Impulsive have plans for more. A essential tool live.
The era of the 'Future DJ' is what Impulsive is all about, and
this is the magic link.
AN1x
from Yamaha; The analogue monster. A very useful keyboard indeed.
Great sound, great versatility. Tony’s baby! Need we say any
more?
CS1-x
from Yamaha; Dean’s compliment to Tony’s AN1. In his
own words, "a superb synth, great sounds, great filters,
great features, great looks and a great lead instrument
live".
SU-10
from Yamaha; A very versatile and useful sampler. Barry &
Dean cherish these small but powerful tools (1 each!). Amazing
features in a tiny box.
CDJ-500
from Pioneer; How else could Tony & Dean mix in those
CD-R’s???! A revolutionary CD mixer. ‘Nuff said!
SM-58
from Shure; Industry standard microphone, all of
‘Behaviour’ use ‘em.
PCP330 from FAT; Darren F’s prized Vocoder. Check out them fucked up vocals man!
MZ-R30 from Sony; A handy portable Mini-Disc Recorder as used by Dean.
DD1-G from Vestax; The digital delay unit as used by Darren F & Deano (2 units) in both their DJ sets and live as ‘Behavior’.
S3000XL
from Akai; Tony’s prized studio sampler. A real workhorse!
Essential! Dean has recently purchased one too!
Syntechno Tee Bee. An analogue bass
generater that shits on other 303 clones! Huge
sounds. Highly recommended.
We use two! Amazing features in this rack-mount.
Roland
MC-303 Groovebox. A sexy little box of tricks! A combination of
lots of Roland’s older analogue machines including the 909,
808 and 303 series. More sounds and noises than you may think. A
great live tool. Serious features, good versatility.
Tascam
488 Mark II, 8-track Portastudio. A great multitrack recorder for
a smaller set-up. Dean uses this in his Impulsive studio set up
and we also utilise it live. Tasty features in compact design.
Great sound quality and control.
