If you own an Iphone/Ipod Touch or a Windows Phone you should check Intermorphics Mixtikl 2. It allows you to make your own tracks 12 track mixes. Its built on the SSEYO engine from 2000.The original program was MiniMIXA which i probably still have on my old SPV smartphone. I used it a bit but back in those days you were restricted to how much memory space you could use even with sd card :)

Best thing is you can use the fx and theres even a synth to use so you can make your own sounds. Theres loops to get you started and extra loop packs available to download. You can also use the PC/Mac Version. Ipod/Phone Version is coming soon but id check on the app store as it might be on already. Its dirt cheap at the moment as well $4.99 and $6.99 for the downloadable pack. Im gonna get mine before the limited offer changes.

ED OG and Masta Ace - Elbow Rooms

What a night!!

These Guys know how to rock a crowd. On a cold november saturday, legends from hip hops golden era Masta Ace and ED OG tore the place down. The venue was rammed with people like myself trying to find a good viewpoint to the stage which resorted to standing on stools,pooltables and small tables.

They dropped tracks from their new album Art & Entertainment as well as a few classic such as I Got Have It and Jeep Ass ...Good to see 2 legends combining. Seems to be a familiar trend (KRS/Buckshot, Redman/Methodman, Keith Murray/Canibus)

It was good to see the Invizible Circle (Monkee, Sparkx, DMW, Oddball, Dj Countdown)  represent J Bravo did a set onstage. DJ Ant Black managed to video interview Masta Ace so i'll try get a Youtube of that if possible also Dj Analogue has an article in Traffic Magazine  so make sure you pick up a copy of that.

Touch DJ



Touch DJ

Been keeping an eye on this. Just been reading up on the first proper Dj app for the Ipod/Iphone. When I say first I mean this can play mp3's off your device and mix em :) there are other apps such as itm dj and automap (which i'll review at some point). But they are midi controllers (meaning they control dj software) like the Hercules control mp3 e2 i reviewed earlier. The only stumbling block for me is getting your own mp3's on there instead of using the 20 tracks Amidio provide.They have an app to get your tracks on it and mention wifi transfer as well.I'll check this out before making a decision. For £11 not bad? Let me know if this helps.

New Dj Controller - Hercules Dj Control Mp3 e2

Got this baby about a month ago. Its a bit of a beauty. For £99 its a good deal if you ask me. You get a special version of virtual dj which is quite useful especially for video mixing. The mixing part is what i like with this. Once you've got the tracks synced its all about the effects (phaser,loop etc) which gets the party going . My only gripes (which I can live with) are the lack of a proper manual for *Virtual DJ . There is a guide for getting started but it is only for getting started and well if you wanted to take one of these gigging you'd want a bit more knowledge about the software (you can actually map this to the dj software of your choice). The jog wheel is great for cueing a track but for scratching its only good for effects. Dont get me wrong, you can scratch with it, but when you let go there is a slight delay which makes it different from going crazy with the vinyl. Also I found that if I accidently touch the jog wheel and the track I was playing warped. Not good..but you can adjust the sensitivity or just turn the scratch button off and just use it to cue ;-)
All in all its worth the price I used this for a few parties for a few mates but also for a Fashion show and it more than did the job. If you want a controller for parties or for home use this is great. If you want something between the budget controllers and highend ones such as the Hercules control  remix and console steel then get one of these.

Uk peeps can get one here DJ Control MP3 e2
