It’s the end of an era, but the beginning of a new one.
The DMC brand is no longer in New Zealand and instead been replaced with a new brand called “Mix Foundation”. Along with these changes we see the DMC Wellington store closed down and the Auckland store rebranded as this…

For everyone in Wellington, the [...]

This mixer is set to see the 4th generation released and my lord have they made some changes.
This mixer isn’t yet confirmed as a release and the model you’re about to see is a prototype version of this mixer. I like what I see here, and if it’s going to be released, it could very [...]

If you remember 8 posts back, I wrote about Serato & Ableton joining forces to bring you a product called “The Bridge”.
DJ 41 (formerly DJ 41:30 & now works for Serato) gave Gizmo and his team the exclusive run down on the product at NAMM 2010.
Check out this demo and see for yourself how awesome [...]

There are 2 parts to this [...]

So NAMM 2010 was this week and some of the stuff Serato dropped is about to change shit in a big way.
I will drop these in 3 parts and only focussing on the Serato Releases. The 3rd one I am yet to get a better understanding of, it’s a little bit over my head. The [...]

What up!
DJ Penfold has just told everyone on Twitter the saddest news to hit DJ circles since Roc Raida’s Passing! Panasonic/Technics are discontinuing their turntable range from FEBRUARY 2010.
