New (smaller) Pioneer controller

According to Pioneer's Facebook page they are releasing a new controller, with no title as yet. The shot below looks very exciting and it encompasses the regular features like 4 hot cues, jog wheels and the ability to light up like a Christmas tree.

Bingo Players - Rattle [Teaser]

Not content with the success of 'Cry Just a Little' the Bingo Players have launched a second assault on the buzz charts with this bass fuelled monster. I expect this will go off big time...

Very excited about this one...have a listen! Lots of bass!!

The Dave William mix - now on Nerve FM radio

Whatever you are doing, you can now tune in on 87.9FM (Bournemouth only - till Oct 2nd) and online at Nerve Media's website.

This evening sees the September mix being broadcast from 5-6pm. You can hear me every week at the same time. Very exciting stuff I am sure you will agree!

Paris Hilton to become a DJ?

So Paris Hilton wants to be the 'Queen of House music'. Could she be the most successful female DJ?

From what I have read it suggests that she has simply been reading a careers book or went to a gig and saw a female DJ for the first time and thought "Yeah...I wanna do that" although I could be wrong. I think the goal of simply being the most successful DJ ever isn't necessarily bad or negative (because we all want to be successful right?) considering her current status but surely its about enjoying what you do at all times and not just some giant ego trip?

Either way if shes in it for the fame she can certainly afford the marketing and PR and all that. Anyone can take up DJ'ing nowadays...if anything its a brand that's being sold most of the time. So if Paris can start a trend....or maybe even a genre that would be to her advantage. She could slow down house to about 108bpm...oh no that's already been done.

To be honest there aren't that many female DJ's I can think of other than Annie Mac, Gina Turner, Lauren Pope and Maya Jane Coles. So there is a definitely a place for a super-superstar female DJ in a largely male environment, but will it be Paris?

Xone: DB4

Brand new bit of kit from Xone...The XONE: DB4

Key feature for this bit of kit is the 'flexible input matrix', where any audio source can be selected on any or all of the channels. So different processing is applied to the same track on separate channels and you can fade between them, or a phrase sampled in the looper of one channel can be added to the mix later in the track.

Pretty impressive and I am not sure if I have heard of this before. Looks great too. Shame about the price (rrp £1750).

All in all Allen and Heath have definitely set a benchmark here, but which is better the Xone: DB4 or the DJM-2000?

T.E.E.D - Garden

Came across this tune on YouTube. Really like the video, very arty feel.
The drum beat rocks too! Check it out.

How to be a DJ

Not sure what my thoughts on this are yet!
