Rihanna – Rude Boy (Video)

Crazy video. Love the island feel that she has introduced into this video. Everything she touches is gold.

Phyllisia – Money Clap (Song)

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:19:00 +0000

You may know Phyllisia's voice from such songs as Call on Me and Unconditional Love where she was featured along side Jah Cure. But I was just shocked to find out she was not strictly a reggae artist. It seems like she is a woman of many talents and here is a new track from her called Money Clap. Give this a listen and leave your feedback.

JW & Blaze – Palance (Video)

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:27:00 +0000

Easily one of the biggest songs for the 2010 Carnival season in TnT. This video is GREAT. Entertaining and funny. If only work was really like this. I recommend you set this to full screen and just enjoy it. Big up everyone in TnT palancin right now.

Twin of Twins - Only God Knows (Video)

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:17:00 +0000

I recently heard this song featured on the Caribbean Hot 30 show with Nikki Z where she interviewed Twins of Twins. She talked with Curley Loxx about the loss of his son Zion that happened in 2007 and then featured this song which was written in memory. I took a moment to find the video and decided to post it up. Its from back in 2007 but is one of those songs that will touch people years later as well.

If you don't know the story behind the song I recommend you listen to the interview and you will get the full story.

David Guetta ft Kid Kudi - Memories (Video)

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:07:00 +0000

When I first started listening to David Guetta's music I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I am. I was totally shocked to how good this guy is and his One Love album is great. The beats are smooth and catchy and I highly recommend you check it out and get your copy from wherever you source your music from. This video I saw recently is an example of the good things coming from him.

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:00:00 +0000

Valentines day is just around the corner so as a tribute to all of the lovers out there we start off the first half of the show with a lovers segment. Every song for the first hour has the word 'LOVE' in the title. I didn't realise how many there really were. We then end the hour with the Banton Report and feature new riddims such as the Steel Frog and DNA riddim in the 2nd half of the show. Finally we end things off with the Throwback Segment feature Sanchez.

The Basement Mix Episode 5

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:01:00 +0000

This weeks episode includes a Bob Marley tribute segment (to celebrate his birthday on Feb 6th) as well as a Mavado segment (as he will be in Toronto this weekend performing). There was very little time to feature any new music but I'm still loving the Gyption "Hold Yuh" track badly and we end off the show with the throwback segment featuring Ninja Man.

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:23:00 +0000

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.

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

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 20:12:00 +0000

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)

noreply@blogger.com (Knockz) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:35:00 +0000

* 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.
