A Closer Look Into Occupy Wall St.
The video above gives you an in depth view of what goes on everyday at Zuccatti Park. It also helps that it’s well made. Now I know a lot of people have been asking, “What’s next?” or “Where Do We Go From Here?”. Well below is another video I found which hits that question right on the head.
I’ve been following the movement since it began about a month ago. I was lucky enough to visit the home grounds at Zuccatti Park in New York. It was amazing to be there in the middle of it all. I felt alive but clam. It felt right. Like this is what we should be doing. Democracy at its purest form… It was beautiful.
Here are some photos I took while I was there.
Summertime Is Here
Summertime – Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince (JoshuaCarl mix) on Vimeo.
Yes it’s hot. But isn’t that what summer is? Make the most out of it. Dress light. Pull out those dusty sandals. Every chance you get jump into a pool, lake, river, or slip’n slide. Fire up the grill. Sip on a mojito. Lay back and enjoy it cause it’s summertime.
Let’s Go Back: 90′s Rap Part 2
You can’t go wrong with a little Rump Shaker by WRECKX-N-EFFECT.
What made me think of this 90′s classic “Whoomp There It Is” was the original “I’m Ready” which was released back in 1980 by Kano. Check it out below. (more…)
James Zabiela Introduces The DJM 900 Nexus
With all the new dj software and midi controllers coming out these days I was pretty impressed when I saw what the new Pioneer DJM 900 nexus is capable of. There is something so nice about getting what you need straight from the mixer without the need of a computer. However this mixer is also pretty amazing when pairing up with a laptop. The DJM 900 nexus is equipped with a high-end 24bit/96khz sound card that can simultaneously input/output stereo sound from 4 inputs/outputs. The 900 nexus is also Traktor Scratch certified. I see this mixer being an all around good investment and have no doubt it will continue as an industry standard.
Take a minute and watch James Zabiela show you what this mixer is capable of.
iPad 2 Head-Coupled Perspective
I just came across this pretty amazing video today. Some tech guru’s over at The Engineering Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI) Research Group have managed to use the front facing camera on the iPad 2 to track your head in 3D space creating a glasses-free monocular 3D display. Yeah… amazing!

You know you wanted to cruise Broadway with your posse. No?
DJ Quik – Jus Lyke Compton
Must see: 1:10 – DJ Quick raps about St. Louis and gets it all right. The Arch, the Cardinals, summer heat, people shooting at each other and even Gus’s old place on Washington.

I thought this was pretty creative and worth sharing if you haven’t already watched it. Our imagination is sometimes all we need. “Imagination?”, you say. Yep I’m sure it’s still there somewhere.
We are all kids at heart.

Single out 13th Sept on Moshi Moshi Records
A fellow friend and colleague of mine shared this video with me this morning. I thought it was worth posting. Not only is this a great song but the video will flood you with feelings of your teenage years. Enjoy the show.
Traktor Pro & Töken Multitouch
töken experience from yöyen munchausen on Vimeo.
I must say this would have to be the coolest piece of DJ equipment. Not only would it be fun to use but people would come out just to see you use it. It’s a visual display with out the VJ. I think a lot of people would pay some pretty big bucks for this setup. As far as I know this is only a prototype and is not for sale. I haven’t found any other information on the display. If you find out about anything new on this please leave a comment. It said to visit http://www.pablomartin.com/emulator/ for more info but I have yet to get the site to load. Interesting…
Update:
Looks like you can get in contact with someone about this product here: http://www.tokenexperience.com/, Thanks Yöyen.
