Last year my midi controller was damaged, and so I did a bit of mixing in software only. I sent it off for repair this year, and after months off hassle it was finally fixed. To avoid frustration (because I couldn’t use my gear), I decided not to listen to dance music this year. My neighbour, …
The Load Track button for Deck B broke on my MIDI controller about 8 months ago. After a whole lot of hassle, I’ve finally got the controller back, fully repaired. This week I’ve remapped the layout to better reflect what I’m using Traktor for at present. It’s fairly simple, but quite a bit more effective …
Today my Dad turns 50. He’s been begging me for a DJ mix for a while now, and I’ve been lax at getting it done… so here you go Dad, not one DJ mix, but 4 of them! I’ve mixed 50 tracks for your big day, into 4 mixes generally grouped for style. Happy Birthday …
We’re in New Zealand for Christmas and I managed to drop my New Year’s mix using only software (my hardware controller is at home). Lots of fun and fast music in here for you this year, truly a great lot of tunes I think! This year I haven’t been as active DJing as I wanted to …
What has been through countless revisions over the last 4 or 5 months is now ready for your consumption. The latest in my uplifting trance and progressive house mix series, Beatitudes Volume 5 is ready for you to enjoy. Finnish producers are absolutely on fire right now, there are 4 tracks by Finns in this …
I was a bit behind schedule this year in getting my New Years’ mix down. My apologies to all… being a Dad is busy work sometimes. But the mix is ready for your listening pleasure! I chose to feature this mix on the Tastyfresh Homegrown podcast (which I am the host of), so it’s available exclusively …
We’ve had a pretty busy summer with many visitors, and I realized the other week that I hadn’t even touched my DJing gear since April. Which is a tragedy. Yesterday I finally found some time to spend with my music, and you get to enjoy not 1, but 2 mixes. I realised I really owed …
I’ll be spinning at Sencity 2009 here in Jyväskylä. I’m seriously looking forward to this gig for a number of reasons. First off, this is my first gig in my (new) home town… so that’s wicked. I haven’t gotten my ass out the door enough since moving here to find any cool clubs… I know …
The Numark Stealth Control doesn’t ship with a TKS/TKI file for Traktor3/Traktor Pro. I’m sure an official one will be released at some point, but I’ve got mine working just fine as it is. The only tricky part was the LED mappings, for which you can’t use the regular midi learn feature in Traktor. I …
I ordered a Numark Stealth Control (midi controller for Traktor DJing software) from Thomann.de last week. Here’s the unboxing.
