New iPad DJ app could be a game changer

Found this video from Resident Advisor: ​

According to AppBC, "DJs can choose from pre-installed templates or create their own interface with up to 6 decks - on one or several pages - making it the perfect tool for any use-case."

Some key features: ​

  • 4 cue points per deck
  • 3 band EQ with kill switches
  • Loops from 1/64th to 8 bars
  • Loop roll while track keeps playing
  • Record stereo mixes

The d(- -)b app was just released today and is available for only $9.99.

Watch this: Deadmau5 vs. Richie Hawtin at SXSW

Hey Joel and Richie, feel free to bring this show anytime to Canada because people will be lining around the block to see this: ​

(VIA TA)​

One word: WOW!

I hope someone somewhere has a full audio recording of the set because the beginning of the set is astonishingly good.

​The Toronto Star wrote about Deadmau5 and Richie Hawtin's 'Talk. Techno. Technology' seminar earlier in the day.

Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten form 'New World Punx'

Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten have been playing back to back sets since the early part of 2012 and today they have announced a formal partnership that they call 'New World Punx'. According to Ferry Corsten's website, the name fuses together Corsten's hit single 'Punk' and Markus Schulz's 'The New World'. ​

New World Punx (NWP) promises to be "​harder, more driving and more aggressive than the melodic, euphoric style of soaring trance." As I'm a big fan of the darker side of trance I'm encouraged to hear what a NWP set will sound like.

The new collaboration will also include new tracks created under the NWP moniker as "Forthcoming releases under the NWP alias are in the works." 'Loops & Tings' was one of my favourite trance tracks of 2012 so I am eagerly awaiting what they have in store for 2013.

​Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten will be making their New World Punx debut in Canada at the Bal en Blanc in Montreal at the end of the month. For ticket information click here.
