Judge Jules DJing in Pembrokeshire to see in the New Year

Published

on

THE COUNTDOWN to 2023 has begun – and at the Out nightclub, Pembroke, dance music legend Judge Jules will be performing a set on New Year’s Eve.

For almost three decades Judge Jules has pioneered the dance music journey and is considered one of the most successful DJs in the industry.

His presence has also been keenly felt on Ibiza, where he has held the longest-running DJ residency in the island’s history.

His net worth is estimated to be in the region of $42 million.

Julius O’Riordan hails from north London and, following an education at an independent boys school, he went on to the London School of Economics where he earned a degree in law.

During his student days he became known for hosting small house parties where he became better known as Judge Jules as a result of his law degree.

Jules began playing in 1987, launching the career that has easily notched up hundreds of thousands of miles, millions of spins of the decks and countless gigs in far-flung destinations, as well as the odd dirty warehouse thrown in for good measure.

Jules’ DJ sets are the epitome of what DJing is about – passion, amazing tunes and a set of hands capable of the most nimble of mixing. With a list of awards that would make the American Olympic team blush, Jules has earned his place amongst the DJ aristocracy.

Rarely out of DJ Mag’s top 15 in the annual Top 100 DJs poll, Jules has won such accolades as – “Best DJ” (Muzik Awards), No.1 DJ (Mixmag reader’s poll), “Best International DJ” (Dancestar), and “Best Radio DJ” at the Smirnoff Dancestars. Awards aside, there is no doubt that Jules remains one of the most popular figures in dance music, who has had the pleasure of playing some of the most sought-after gigs – notably for his beloved Arsenal FC and also, in January 2007, at the 20/20 one-day Australia v’s England cricket match at Sydney Cricket Ground.

The celebrations at Pembroke’s Out kicks off at 7pm with a free welcome drink for everyone.

VIP tables are available and tickets are now on sale, priced between £15 and £79. These can be booked via Eventbrite.

How to choose your first computer setup 

Published

on

Choosing the right computer setup can be incredibly tricky. To help you make an informed decision, here are a few things to consider when choosing a computer setup. 

Usage

Different devices offer various benefits. So, when determining which device to select, the first thing to think about is its primary function. 

Work

If you’re purchasing a computer primarily for work purposes, a device that is capable of running multiple applications concurrently whilst retaining speed and ease of use would be beneficial. If you travel for work, you also need to consider portability. 

Creative activities

If you need a computer for more creative endeavours such as video editing, music production, or graphic design, you should look at devices that can cope with the demands of editing and production software. Search for devices with a powerful CPU (central processing unit), plenty of RAM (random access memory), and significant storage capacity. 

Gaming

If gaming is your main concern, opting for something with high-performance graphics, generous RAM, fast processors, and adequate cooling capabilities would be favourable. However, if your gaming habits consist of something lighter, such as playing simple online casino games or web browser games, these additions are less essential. 

General use

If you will primarily be using your computer to facilitate day-to-day activities such as online shopping, basic streaming services, and generally browsing the web, then something simple and easy to use might be a better fit. 

Type of device: Laptop vs desktop

Laptops and desktops both have their pros and cons, but one will generally be more suitable than the other, depending on your requirements. 

Desktops 

Typically, desktop devices offer enhanced performance, more durability, better customisation, and are easier to upgrade in comparison to laptops. However, they do require more space and can be more expensive to purchase upfront. 

Laptops

Laptops on the other hand, are much more convenient, providing complete portability. They’re also generally lower in price than desktop PCs. However, laptops are limited when it comes to upgrades and may need to be replaced sooner than a desktop. 

Which is best? 

If you need something portable and convenient and aren’t using it for activities which require more power, a laptop may be a more suitable option. If you need something with more power and are looking for durability and longevity, a desktop PC might be more appropriate. 

Budget

Budget also plays a significant role in choosing your computer setup. Before making a decision, consider whether you want to spend a little more on a long-term setup or opt for something that is slightly more affordable upfront but can potentially be upgraded later down the line. 

Where to purchase a laptop or PC

There are plenty of dedicated computer shops in Wales that can lend you a hand in making the right decision for your needs. Alternatively, if you want to keep costs down, consider shopping for deals or looking for second hand devices on a site such as eBay or Facebook Marketplace.
