DJ Intel Bump Me Loud! ->

DJ Intel

Here’s another in our continuing series of summertime ‘08 mixes to bump at your next sublime experience.

I had been noticing DJ Intel’s name on flyers all over Chicago recently, but hadn’t had a chance to hear what he was up to until we rocked a party together a few weeks ago. His set was so dope! This mix is also dope; kind of epic in fact! It’s not about beat-matching and blends per se, but instead about moods and magic:

Ghostbeard “Not a Latest Dance Craze”

Ghostbeard; Not A Latest Dance Craze ->

GhostbeardSummer’s just about here and that means it’s time for a sweet, waist-winding dancehall mix. Montreal’s DJ Ghostbeard (AKA Jeff Waye, the guy who runs Ninja Tune’s North American office) just happened to drop such a mix on me recently and I feel it’s only right to share.

Ghostbeard’s like the only dude in the world who doesn’t have a Myspace page (at least that I can find) but this article sheds a small amount of light on the shadowy character. Anyway, it’s probably best to let the mix speak for itself:

Turntables No More

Published by DJ C on May 28, 2008 in DJ Mixes, Free Tunes, Gear and Podcast. 24 Comments, Read Them, Leave One

Serato Scratch LiveWhat is the future of the DJ turntable? Most of my colleagues and I use tools like Serato Scratch Live when we DJ, allowing us to bring huge libraries of music to the party without hauling heavy crates of vinyl.

We’re still using turntables ’cause they’re what we learned on, so we’re comfortable with them, but it seems to me that the mighty Technics 1200’s champion days are numbered. The next generation of DJs will have grown up without turntables and won’t have any need for them. Especially now that there’s a whole new crop of tools poised to replace the visceral experience of using turntables (see below).

Last november we posted a poll asking our DJ readers which format they prefer to use. 80% said they now use digital tools. The remaining 20% use vinyl only. So far only 21% use digital exclusively but I imagine those numbers will continue to tip away from vinyl. Take a look for yourself:

Vinyl or Digital?

  • Digital Mostly (some vinyl) (23%, 26 Votes)
  • Digital Only (Serato/Final Scratch, CDJ, laptop…) (21%, 24 Votes)
  • Vinyl Only (2 turntables and a mixer) (20%, 23 Votes)
  • Vinyl Mostly (some digital) (18%, 20 Votes)
  • Equal Amounts Vinyl and Digital (18%, 20 Votes)

Total Voters: 113

Pioneer CDJ 1000Now lets talk about the tools that will replace turntables. I’m already beginning to be booked at some gigs that only provide DJ CD players (CDJs). The Pioneer CDJ 1000 was the first digital tool that really gave traditional turntables a run for their money by providing a touch sensitive platter that DJs can use to control the data on the CDs in a tactile way.

More recently a whole crop of USB DJ controllers have been popping up — self contained units with a mixer and cuing features built in. The best of these also have jog wheels and sound cards built in.

PacemakerMeanwhile there are tiny contenders entering the game too. Yes, some people already “DJ” with iPods but I mean full blown micro DJ Systems like the Pacemaker. And now that Apple has opened up the iPhone to 3rd party software developers I’m sure there’ll soon be some touch-screen DJ apps for that unit coming down the line.

Speaking of touch screen DJ apps. Check out the Atigo TT by Scott Hobbs:

This thing looks really fun but there’s an argument to be made here about portability. If it’s the same size as a turntable why not bring the real thing?

Nothing’s perfect yet but sooner or later there will be an all-in-one DJ controller that’s got everything for a visceral DJing experience in a portable package. Perhaps the Numark NS7.

Numark NS7

Or maybe even better, or at least cheaper and smaller, the Vestax VCI-300

Vestax VCI-300

Both of these controllers are slated to come out this summer and both work with Serato software. Stay tuned…

Lazer-Bass

Megasoid; Tank Thong Remix Tape

Lazer BassI was reading the New Yorker this week and came across an article by Sasha Frere-Jones in which he coined the term “lazer bass” to describe the music of Montreal-based party crew Megasoid. Ghislain Poirier used to call the genre “big asshole bass” or “big ass bass.” accurate descriptions but less likely to fly as an official term than lazer-bass.

Update
2 more contenders for the title: “raggaclash” and “wonky.” See the comments on this post for more ->

Turns out Sasha’s been writing about lazer-bass on the New Yorker blog too, and that piece is more in-depth; he also mentions LA’s Glitchmob and a crew from Scotland who I hadn’t heard of called LuckyMe.

He says lazer-bass is “a loose affiliation of musicians in California, Montreal, and Glasgow.” That seems true, but I would argue that the affiliation goes far beyond the 3 locals mentioned.
