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.
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?

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. (more…)
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.
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.
