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...
Me and Sharlo will be rockin it like we are in the pic above tomorrow nite on KRUI. Sharlo will be DJing first from 6-7 then I will be DJing from 7-8! Were going to be bringing in all the hardware...CDJS, Mixers, Turntables, Serato, and so on to bring you dripping hot 2 hours of dance beats! ALL LIVE MIXING - LETS GO!

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.

Well another interesting line-up from the folks at Coachella this year. I'll do a detailed analysis of the line-up this year...obviously with a DANCE MUSIC biased perspective. I bolded thoughout my favs of the lineup.
Day 1 - A huge headliner is obvious on the first day Sir Paul McCartney which is pretty epic. Some other people might dig Girl Talk on the first day (most close to me know that I'm not really a fan of Girl Talk ...prob cause I'm not into pop music) but my first day favs. are Switch and Craze & Klever. Switch in my opinion is one of the best DJs ever and gets completely no respect for it (his position on the bill may be a showing of that but I don't blame Coachella for this).
Day 2 - Also on day 2 only 2 djs who I think are really amazing. And NO DJ AM is NOT one of them. Of course, The Crookers who will be rocking day 2 and also a Surkin and Para One. I find the headliner of The Killers kind of intesting. I mean maybe 3 years ago but I don't see why they would be headlining material this year. Especially compared to the Cure and Sir Paul. Or even last years Jack J, Portishead, and Roger Waters. So to me this is a near fatal error in the lineup - especially when they are trying to get me a poor college student from Iowa to go to Cali.
Day 3 - Roni Size, Groove Armada, and M.A.N.D.Y. have to be my favs from day 3. The Cure would be an amazing show to see as well. But coming into day 3 the schedule just seems a little dry. Here is last years bill:
Final Judgment: One sentence - It was better last year.
Thats enough from me - you decide what you think! And no matter how it compares to last year I want to thank everyone at Coachella for putting this festival on because it is year after year one of the best!

After a scare about a month ago of retirement (it later turned out to be a drunken comment - we have all had those), Frankmusik is burning up with hottness as he gains global attention. He reminds me personally a lot of Calvin Harris with heavy use of synths and a prominent electronic sound. We have played my personal fav on the IC Essential Mix before -
However a track of his that has been gaining the most steam and has been ranked #3 on BBC 1's blog for their Top 5 Indie Chart is another great track "Three Little Words"
