Nothing electro on you.

Came across this electro house remix of B.O.B Ft. Bruno Mars - Nothing On You, I really dig the original, although this is shaken up nicely to suit a clubbier or loungier context.

I could be chasing, but my time would be wasting. Enjoy!

A Sad Loss.. RIP.

At 11.30pm last night an NA MX5 collided with a Flatbed truck on Old Pacific Hwy, fatally and prematurely ending the two young lives of Gerard and Tom (Passenger). Two young car enthusiasts in their early 20's, Gerard a member of JDMST. May they rest in peace and may we please learn from the loss of their families and friends that such events can be prevented if we drive carefully and abide by respective road laws.

Such young lives, such a great loss. (JDMST Members can pay their respects here.)

May they both R.I.P.

New Mixer! KM-202.

A few weeks back I picked up a new DJ mixer to go along with the rest of my gear, I thought I'd share it with some thoughts :).

It's a 2 Channel mixer, Korg are pretty with it when it comes to build quality, the features are great, nesting Korg's famed 'Kaoss Pad' embedded in the mixer itself, I love the fact that the EQ has 'Isolation' meaning that all frequencies are cut when you cut each channel as opposed to other mixers which leave frequencies dwelling even when each EQ channel is sitting at 0.

It's got pretty hefty RRP but what can you expect when they retail the Mini KP for a couple of hundred alone (Which is the same Kaoss Pad in the KM-202). I love the crossfader, extremely smooth with plenty of room for preference thanks to the crossfader adjuster.

The 'Kaoss Pad' is amazing! with 99 presets and presets within each of those presets using the touch pad, this thing has it buckled down when it comes to effects, owning for a few weeks now I haven't even had a chance to check them all out, whats also very cool is the combination of effects some of the effects are eg. 'LFO+Flanger+Phase', you can only imagine what those sort of combo's sound like, my favorite thus far is the 'Beat Repeat'.

I think my only qualms with the unit are that I'd prefer larger EQ knobs but thats just personal preference, PFL for the 'Kaoss Pad' would be great too, as it would let you experiment with it without disrupting what your playing.

I highly recommend this as a DJM-400 alternative, aside from a few minor things and they really are minor- I'm loving this new device.

Fresh Deadmau5. Love this guy.

Its been a little while since my last post, probably the longest I've ever been (Soz), first post for May in fact, aside from the fact that I've been a little busy, I've been waiting for something fresh to come in, Havn't really come across anything of significance in the blogosphere in the past few weeks, alas that changes here.

Fresh Deadmau5 track "Some Chords"- typical in reflection to Joel's vague and careless track titles. Starts of with a fractured sawtooth-like sequence with various effects and filter passes as it builds, can't expect anything less from the man himself.

His ability to produce and tour simultaneously is quite astounding, although not in great quanities it's still a feat in itself, which also bring to attention a remix he's whipped recently, Pendulum's track 'Watercolor', sure fire sounds to be heard in the big clubs in weeks to come.

Enjoy! :D
