My New Cans (Headphones)


John Digweed, Richie Hawtin, Pete Tong, and soon....ME! Users of A & H's XD-53 Headphones!

Soon I will be receiving a brand spanking new pair of Allen and Heath's XONE:XD-53 Headphones after my Denon DN HP 1000s right ear broke off. I actually really liked the Denons and would have suggested those to anyone looking for headphones in that price range. The Denon HP1000s were loud, stylish, and all round great cans. Like I said I did lose my right ear but I am not willing to say that it was a manufacturing problem because I tossed them around quite a bit (literally and figuratively). I am super pumped for these headphones, IC Essential regular DJ Nemo recently got some a couple months ago and I have been jealous ever since. I will post a full review of these headphones when I receive them!

Heres the Tonger (Pete Tong) using the cans at Ultra Festival last year...

Deadmau5 iPhone App


Description:
Touch Mix is a simple music app for the iPhone and iPod touch that lets you play, mix, and remix ten exclusive tracks by producer deadmau5. Now, of course, you're unlikely to grab this in order to DJ nothing but deadmau5. (The all-deadmau5, all-the-time approach?) But the app demonstrates that iPhone-only artist releases can be a whole lot more fun than just a few tracks and some static album artwork. And it also shows off what a handheld DJ interface could look like, with a pretty efficient one-screen-per-deck design that doesn't overwhelm your fingertips.

Mix exclusive Deadmau5 music live on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Features:

* Comes with 10 exclusive Deadmau5 tracks.
* Create your own unique remixes
* Remix by applying delays, effects, rewinds, cuts..
* Unique Scratch Pad lets you touch the music.
* Connect to your sound system and perform live!
* Simple, easy to use interface.
* Designed for creativity.

DJ in studio: Kage on IC Essential Mix 2/7/09



This saturday, keeping with my New Years resolution of having a new DJ mix every week (in fact they have all even been in-studios so far) - local DJ and producer/remixer Kage will be on the show. His sets are a mashup of Nu-Disco/Indie Dance/Electro. Me and Kage have play Yacht Club together twice now the last time being last night on 2/3/09! This is his first appearance on the IC Essential Mix but you can catch his show on KRUI Sundays 2-4AM!
