This guy by the name of JohnBeez has just revolutionised Djing completely. It has taken me about a day to work out how all this works and giving midi a bit of a reading up on. I’m by no means an expert but I know what the Vestax Controller One does with you’re records by [...]

If you remember me posting here about this, then here is some more news. Serato Video-SL 1.1 (the next release due out) will be supporting the Serato SL1 interface, which means you won’t need a Rane TTM-57SL Mixer to run it. All you’ll need is a second Monitor output on your laptop and you should [...]

Here is some footage of Sir-Vere on the cut for Scribe. For those who ain’t seen him having a scratch before or ain’t seen him for ages, then this is for you. This was at the Tribal Pride gig in Ngaruawahia when Sir-Vere filled in for D-Form. This gig happened on the same day that [...]

This is another mean idea from the good folks at Serato.. They’re releasing 12″ singles on Vinyl and the B Side is a Serato Control Record. So instead of focussing solely on their own Control Record being 2 sides, they’re substituting the A side for actual music. I think this is a cool idea, and [...]

This week is Black Out Week for kiwis on the web. I recommend you support this cause whole heartedly and make some noise to everyone you know about it because the new ammendments to Section 92a and 92c are fucked up, unfair and completely unjustified. The law which comes into effect (lets hope it doesn’t) [...]

I saw this posted on Nah Right last week, and I also noticed that Sir-Vere has posted this up on his blog as well. I think its a must post for Scratch Dat as well because this shit is mean! Enjoy!

I have been doing the Bebo rounds and came across this on DJ Raw’s page: (click to enlarge) It seems Raw is in the works of dropping a mixtape in the near future and the above seems to be the cover work. I’m looking forward to it coming out.

DJ Raw is the man! These clips are of Raw in the 1997 Australasian ITF DJ Battle which was hosted in Aussie. I had only heard about this battle and never seen it, so this is mean to have some footage at last. The first clip is of one of Raws Routines in the Semi [...]

In 1997 I was Form 1 at Fairfield Intermediate in Hamilton, and wasn’t into DJing or Battling back then. This footage is of P-Money’s first battle and he settled 4th place in NZ at the time as he lost to DJ Sean in the semi finals. Solid effort for a first time in those times, [...]

A pigeon tells me… for those of you who own Serato SL-1 (The Serato which you most likely own) , then do a Dr. Dre and “Keep your ears to the street…” because SL-1 is set to Support Video Serato. How fucking cool is that? For people who are not smart enough to know what [...]
