The Basement Mix Episode 4

This weeks episode includes a small Haiti tribute section with a new collaboration song from Shaggy and friends. Big big song! We also feature a brand new song from Gyptian called Hold Yuh. Very big song! As well as ending off the show with a "more music less talk" segment so you can just enjoy the vibes.

We also split up the podcast into two parts for those that might want to burn it to CD.

Shaggy, Sean Paul and More - Rise Up (Haiti Tribute Sneak Peek) (Video)

Looks like some big names are coming together in this song.  I really like where they went with it.  Sounds really good and moving.  There are a few other faces you will recognize in there.

Ortofon-Serato S-120 DJ Cartridge

Another thing recently announced by Serato was the Ortofon-Serato S-120 DJ Cartridge.  I have had the Stanton Trackmasters for years and loved the design and layout of the cartridges.  These are a similar design.  I don't know what the price range is but apparently they will start shipping at the end of the month.  Here is a promo video for the cartridges.

 

Serato Scratch Live 2.0.0 Beta (Video)

* Updated:  Added some more videos! *

This week there was a big announcement listing a few new and updated products from the Serato team and one of them was the upcoming version of Serato Scratch Live 2.0.0

Below is a video of it in action.  This is crazy!  It looks like they took almost all of the major feature requests and jammed it into this program.  Some will argue that competing products have been doing this for a while, which is nice, but will they be a factor after this update is released.

I also can see a lot of DJ's getting confused with all of the new options and features.  And I think most of the features will go unused even by myself.  I can see myself using probably the echo effect the most if it is implemented the way I am thinking with a hot key.

I hear they added smart crates and few other things to help with organization as well.  Hopefully this will eliminate iTunes to help with crate organization.

I just have to say good work to the Serato team.  Stepping the game up like this to me is HUGE!

 

Here are two more videos with more in depth explanations.

 

Dirty Money ft Rick Ross – Angels (Remix) (Video)

This is such a hot sounding track.  The original had biggie.. this has Rick Ross.  Jump on this now!

Beta Testers Wanted for new version of GlobalFX

At this point it looks like I have something that I am ready to release to a select group of testers.  I feel pretty good in how it works but I need help squashing any bugs I may have missed.

What I am looking for are testers that are willing to run this on a system (not their production system) and play around with the interface.  They should be willing to report back any findings in the interface or program that does not work properly.

I am not looking at adding any features at this point but will look at adding them in a future test.

This will not break your system as all it does is write to the config files specifically for the program.

I would prefer it if the tester was already using a previous version of the program as well.  However I will also share it with new users.

Please email me at knockz@djknockz.com if you are interested in testing.

Mojo Morgan – Million Dollar Check (Song)

I'm loving this track.  I heard it a few months back and have been jamming to it for a while.  I will be surprised if this doesn't take off big time.  Big up Mojo on the track.

This is the first single off his new album which will be released in the spring of 2010.

Vybz Kartel – Unfaithful (Video)

Wicked song!

This Video Mash Up Is CRAZY!

Just saw this over at Ready Fox's blog.  Its a video mashup of many of the top songs to create a new song.  Not sure how to explain it.  You just have to watch it for yourself.  Big up DJ Earworm for this.  I know it was hard to put together.
