Vinyl lovers thought CD's were bad - they're gonna hate this:::

CDJ-2000I like the inter-connectivity of USB devices and i also like CDJS, so when I read about the features of Pioneer's new CDJ-2000's I was like "Yus!" :: Untill i saw the price tag and then i was like "Fuck!"
At €1799 (approx $5400 NZ) each, you probably wont be asking for a set of CDJ2000's this December and at that price I'd say the nightclub owners will not be rushing to upgrade.
Despite the off-putting price tags, the new features of these CDJ's are quite impressive::
Pioneer have developed a new data management system called Rekordbox. It is the intertexuality of the Rekordbox which is rather impressive, as it is able to play audio media from CD, DVD, SD and now USB. For me, this spells the end of the tedious job of burning disks and then having to write/ fit the track-listing on the front of the disk:: well it would if I could ever actually afford the CDJ2000’s.
It also has a 6.1-inch full colour LCD screen and a system called Pro DJ Link which gives users the ability to process files through the CDJ2000’s USB or SD outputs to other devices via LAN.

Aoki - Ok
STEVE AOKI {} STUDIO {} OCT TwentyTwo
Supported by: Daniel Farley, Maya & Vanya



Yes Steve Aoki is returning to Auckland to play at the Studio this October.
My girlfriend and I (thanks Nerdy Frames for my one) had tickets to see Eric Prydz, Calvin Harris, Boys Noize and Steve Aoki, something I was very excited about. However, Eric Prydz pulled out acouple weeks before the gig, but I thought 'oh well', I had just been to Rhythm & Vines and Prydz is abit cheese anyway - it's not too bad.
Boy was i wrong... When we got to the venue there as a printed out piece of paper stuck to the wall next to the toilets saying::
So it makes me happy to know that ill be able to see him play in a couple of weeks up on K'RD.
Go to the Studio for tickets & more inmofo:::

Daft Punk is Playing at My House
This whole 'Hero' series is abit weird for me. Is it ok to like it? My flatmate had Gutar Hero and I must admit that drunkenly strumming out to Bloc Party's Helicopter and hearing the fake crowd go nuts for me was pretty sweet.
"Euphoria" is equivalent to Guitar Hero's Star Power, collected by successfully completing specific phrases in the song mix, and can be released by pressing the Euphoria button, doubling the player's current multiplier.

Daft Punk "Around the World" vs. Young MC "Bust A Move"
Daft Punk "Da Funk" vs. N.A.S.A. "Strange Enough ft. Karen O, ODB and Fatlip"

F4KE BL()()D - essentual miXXX

"The 1st hour represents THE CLUB, and is the kind of stuff I am playing out. A bit heavier for that apex of the night. But the 2nd hour is THE AFTER PARTY, and is me playing other stuff I love, but goes a bit deeper, stripped back, melodic and unusual. Music to watch the night turn into morning."
"It’ll definitely throw a few people, but that was kind of the intention."

R.I.P.D.J.A.M
Legendary DJ / Producer DJ AM, whose real name in Adam Goldstein was found dead in his New York apartment last Friday. Having been off the drugs for about ten years, AM had supposably been using again after he was involved in a serious aeroplane crash last year September.AM and Travis Barker were the sole survivors of a Learjet plane crash in which four other people died. The pair received extensive burns and it was reported that Goldstein was using medication to deal with his injuries and post traumatic stress. According to TMZ drug paraphernalia and prescription pills were found in his apartment.
DJ AM rose to fame through his success as a genre blending DJ and talented producer. He was a member of the rock band Crazy Town and mixed/scratched on albums for the likes of Will Smith, Madonna and Papa Roach. Goldstein was also a favorite among celebrities, DJing at parties for Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, Jessica Simpson, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Ben Stiller - to name a few. Most recently AM had been working on a live project with Travis Barker as TRVSDJ-AM.
His final twitter comment, made last Tuesday was a quote from Grandmaster Flash’s song New York, New York ::::
New York, New York. Big city of dreams,
but everything in New York aint always what it seems…
