DJ Tech: Porter Robinson explains what he likes about the Traktor Kontrol S4 (Video)

Native Instruments, the makers of the all in one DJ'ing solution called the Traktor Kontrol S4, has just released a new promo video featuring Porter Robinson as he explains what he likes about his S4, check it out:

Porter is one of these DJs that bring something new to the table whenever you hear him live. His fast edits, mashups, and quick cuts between tracks is what makes his live sets stand out. So to be able to listen to a brief explanation on how he makes that happen using the S4 is something I found quite interesting.

Techno: New Monoloc EP is out

German producer and CLR heavyweight Monoloc has just released a new EP titled "Try", take a listen to the preview:

The 3 track release includes a special Monoloc edit and a Skudge version of "Try" that each bring a different angle to the original. I am addicted to the drum beat and power derived from the special edit, which I find is absolutely perfect to play to ensure a thumping dance floor.
