A sign of the DJ times... (Watch)

[O!]=[O!] — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:12:07 +0000

I've been DJ-ing, in some way shape or form since I was a wee lad. I've since witnessed the art develop, grow, morph and technologically blow my mind - all of that at varying speeds and waves - over the course of time. I remember when digital DJ-ing was in its infancy. I also remember my take on it ("I will never switch over, never give up my vinyl). While I never gave up my vinyl, I did end up switching over. The biggest advantage I saw (early on) was being able to leave the (HEAVY) record box at home and how good it felt not to walk six flights with just a backpack. I've not looked back, BUT this video taking us inside Swedish DJ duo, DADA LIFE's DJ Bag was a heavy reminder of just how far we've come. FAR. I am happy.

Take a look for yourself and keep watching for the vinyl/records. Enjoy!

I found this brilliantly done, both visually (reminiscent of Google's style) and equally well broken down. I am a big fan of the genres discussed here and felt obliged to share. Please enjoy!

Swedish House Mafia vs. Knife Party - Antidote (Explicit)

[O!]=[O!] — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:56:06 +0000

Great video for a electro-house banger by the SHM boys along with Knife Party. This one is beautifully cinematic. Deserves a part two.

Film The Police (Ode to NWA)

[O!]=[O!] — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:16:21 +0000

There's not much that needs to be said about this one. Poignant message. Sign of the times.

B. DOLAN's "FILM THE POLICE" pays tribute to N.W.A.'s infamous "F*ck the Police," serving as a call to action for the digitized media movement while responding to the recent explosion of police brutality all across the world.

It features a reconstruction of Dr. Dre's original beat, brilliantly reanimated by UK producer BUDDY PEACE. Label CEO, SAGE FRANCIS, opens the song by picking up the gavel where Dr. Dre left it 23 years ago, introducing a blistering, true-to-style flip of Ice Cube's original verse by SFR cornerstone, B. Dolan. TOKI WRIGHT (Rhymesayers Entertainment) follows up by stepping into the shoes of MC Ren, penning the people's struggle against cops as a case of "Goliath Vs. a bigger giant." Finally, Jasiri X (Pittsburgh rapper/activist) rounds out the track by filling in for Eazy-E, reminding us that police brutality disproportionately affects poor people of color.

Beyond... Watch this.

The beautiful Transformers films without the glorious sound behind them would be far less... Take a look at the science behind the sound. I geek out on this and hope you enjoy!

Director Michael Bay and Producer Steven Spielberg return this summer for the third film in the Transformers franchise, Tranformers: Dark of the Moon. The amazing visual effects in this film are complemented by the talented efforts of the sound team including Re-recording Mixers Greg Russell and Jeff Haboush, and Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designers Ethan Van der Ryn, and Erik Aadahl.

This is the first 3D film of the series and will also be presented in regular 2D, Real D 3D and IMAX, featuring Dolby Surround 7.1 sound.

OK, so fair warning... It's a commercial. But, it's a damn beauty. Makes me miss Tokyo. Sk8 or Die - Forever.

Coldplay - "Up In Flames" (from The Colbert Report)

Perfect song, perfect timing. AMAZING new album. Easily worth 10x what you'll pay for it.
