The past couple of years have been a volatile time in the DJ world. 
The technology is changing rapidly and many DJs who had once been hardcore vinyl-only-heads have made the switch to using digital DJ tools like Serato Scratch Live. Of course some DJs have been spinning with digital tools like CDJs etc. for years, and some combine everything at their disposal, using all available technologies equally. We’re curious; what’s your preference?
Vinyl or Digital?

Digital innovations have turned the vinyl-centric deejay world around. But is life in a “Serato” world really better?
Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out Refusenik’s Kold Krussian DJ mix that we posted a couple weeks back. If so, you may have noticed that there are some original Refusinik rubs in the mix. One of our faves is this mashup of the Argentine cumbia band Los Palmeras‘ song Bombon Asesino with Missy Elliott’s Get Your Freak On.
Missy’s sentiments are particularly poignant in light of the recent ban on “freak-dancing” in Argile, TX:

Last month we kicked off the Mashit MP3 download shop with the exclusive MP3 release of DJ C’s Sonic Weapons album.
Next up we present Murderbot’s Ruff In The Bunny Fizness, an album of 11 jungle-rave anthems. This, the first full-length album from Murderbot, contains super-crisp, remastered versions of his notoriously wicked 12-inch singles, along-side a few
never-before-released super-exclusives, and the most adorable conquering lion of judah cover-art ever to exist.
All tracks can be previewed and then purchased as high-quality, 320kb MP3s. The album comes with full, printable cover-art and liner-notes and all the files are properly tagged, including BPM to make it easy for you DJs out there.
I am absolutely LOVING this mix. Willy Joy is a MPLS-to-Chicago transplant playing basically all the stuff that we here at Mashit hold dear. The tracklist is absolutely nuts on this one—some seriously clever curveballs thrown in the mix and recontextualized in some fascinating ways. Here’s the audio, then the tracklist. (ps: thanks to Mireya Acierto for the photo.)

RIDDIM SCIENCE
By Susanna Bolle
Boston Phoenix
November 14, 2007
For more than a decade, JAKE TRUSSELL (a/k/a DJ C) was a central figure in Boston’s electronic-music underground, first as a founding member of the influential avant-junglist Toneburst collective and then as one of the resident “riddim scientists” at Beat Research every Monday at Enormous Room. And though he left Boston for Chicago this summer, his influence continues to reverberate, not only through nostalgic memories of parties past but through his label and Web site, Mashit, which he radically retooled and relaunched this fall.
Hello boys and girls. It’s time for another installment of what we here at Mashit like to call Mashup of the Week.
Two weeks ago we posted a crunk-step version of Crank Dat. Continuing on with that theme, this week’s installment comes from Crawfordsville, Indiana’s Sidney Looper who sent over this speed-bassline version:
Download: Sidney Looper; Crank Dis SB
There are many, many more where that came from over at Sidney’s Return Feed blog.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won’t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
I was perusing the selection of MP3s over at Amazon’s new DRM-free download shop, and was browsing the “Dance and DJ” section when I noticed that Burial’s new Untrue album is the number 2 top seller. In a perfect world it seems logical that a super-futuristic, minimal-atmospheric, R&B-swingstep album would be number two on the charts, but in our world I was completely shocked.
Next up in our continuing series of remixes of Ghislain Poirier’s track Blazin’ (feat. ragga vocalist Face-T), we present DJ Flack’s take:

And just so you can peruse them all in one place:
Download:

Don’t forget to grab the single on Ninja Tune with Ghislain’s original plus remixes by The Bug and myself; 12-inch or download (now available from Turntable Lab).
I’ve got a blend on this new Heatwave 12-inch:
The Heatwave presents Juggling Machine Vol 1
Club refixes & blends
Download: Juggling Machine Vol 1 preview
Available from Juno and all good record shops.
We’re proud to present a brand new six track 12″ featuring club blends and refixes from The Heatwave, plus contributions from Sinden (Kiss FM), Ghislain Poirier (Ninja Tune) and DJ C (Mashit). This is the first in a series of club-oriented remix
records from The Heatwave and our DJ/producer friends in the UK and across the pond.
Eve’s smash hit Tambourine is given the distinctive Heatwave posse cut treatment, with vocals from The Heatwave’s Rubi Dan and Beenie Man, Collie Buddz and Lexxus. Two more Heatwave refixes feature Busy Signal and Mavado’s Badman Place blended with Justin Timberlake’s My Love and up-and-coming London soul singer Valentina over the classic Night Nurse aka Doctor’s Darling reggae riddim.
If you need a sweatshirt, a thong, a wall clock, or a lunch box, and at the same time would like to support the Mashit brand, this is just the place to feed two birds with one scone. ->
