I need to relearn how to read and write music. There's been some interesting compositions floating around in my head and I have no way to document them. I could read music when I did band and jazz band in middle school but I've forgotten it all by now. Too bad my seven year old self couldn't be bothered to sit still long enough to persevere in ( Read more... )

The market is ripe for some company to start a website where one can download individual .WAV files. Hell, iTunes could make a killing if they started offering that as an option. AAC and high-quality MP3s are all right but nothing compares to the sound of CD-quality music when it comes to spinning live. Well, nothing but vinyl. You can't download ( Read more... )

This woman did AMAZING things, many of which are just now being discovered. I would especially like to point out the article's sample of a very psytrance-sounding electronic ( Read more... )

I'm looking to sell my DJM-500 to someone who will love it as much as I do. It's an awesome mixer and is in pristine condition. I don't want to get rid of it but I need a smaller mixer for my road gigs; I can't afford to keep more than one. It's an industry standard club mixer with a plethora of effects.

Just a heads up for my fellow DJs who may be thinking about buying new equipment.

My man at the local mom-and-pop music store said that Pioneer will be raising the prices of their DJ equipment effective July 1st. Increases will be anywhere from $50 to $200+; it's due to the rise in fuel costs, shipping, etc. I can't find any articles online to ( Read more... )
