Another great release where it's all about the flavours. 'Footloose' by Culture Shock is like an ecstatically happy Ed Rush & Optical, where a bright metallic bass mixture supports drifting female vocal muses. An epic intro with deep chords and subtle electric guitars in Hive's 'Blackout' snaps into a singularly purposeful bounty hunter robot, while the Commix remix of Origin Unknown's 'Lunar Bass' retains the original midnight moods and adds a devastatingly low distortion sub bass. Four for the floor.

There are two types of turntables being manufactured today. Belt Drive and Direct Drive. Below is an explanation of both types, together with some advantages and disadvantages of each. Belt Drive turntables use a motor located under and to one side of the central platter (the platter is the part of the turntable where a record is placed when it is being played). The motor is connected to the platter using a rubberised belt. This mechanism is used to spin the central platter of the turntable. Most turn tables that come as part of a hi-fi system are usually belt driven. Also, many beginner DJ packages and turntables are belt driven. Some advantages of a belt drive turntable: * usually cheaper to buy than direct drive counterpart * the belt absorbs a lot of the motors vibrations which would otherwise be picked up by the record needle (stylus) However, a belt-drive turntable also has its disadvantages: * slow start-up time * poor torque due to the belt mechanism * * poor resistance to records skipping * the belt will wear out and lose its elasticity over time. This results in the belt slipping and the platter varying in speed. Hence, the record being played at the time will begin to speed up and slow down. If you are DJing at the time, then you will be extremely challenged to keep up with these variations in the sound, which are out of your control With a Direct Drive Turntable, the motor is located under the center of the platter, and connected directly to it. The only disadvantage of this mechanism is vibrations from the motor can be picked up by the needle, and affect the output sound. However, nowadays, shock absorbing material is placed between the motor and the platter to reduce the vibrations. The advantages of the direct drive turntable are: * the torque is usually much higher than the belt drive turntables, resulting in the platter reaching its proper speed more quickly with less distortion being heard when the record begins to play * the platter is also less susceptible to outside forces (e.g. your hand, or the stylus) unlike the belt drive turntable, the direct drive plays at a constant speed, which the DJ is always in total control of. The more in control you are, the better it is for you. This is a major factor to take into consideration if you are serious about DJing. It is recommend that you only choose to buy direct drive turntables as part of your DJ Equipment.

In theory it should be. Take a helping of the rock solid, industry leading, Digital Vinyl System, add a large splash of extremely versatile DJ software (that also functions as a fully featured sequencer), and whisk thoroughly until you have the ideal mix. Sounds easy doesn’t it? But how will they fuse these two dons of the digital world together? Will we be treated to an entirely new concoction, or will the focus be firmly on creating great connectivity between the existing products? That remains to be seen. All we know so far is that Serato and Ableton have announced their new partnership, which they say will “pave the way for the future of Digital Djing”. In the press release, Ableton’s boss Gerhard Behles pointed out that the companies have a lot of common ground. Highlighting the fact that both feel strongly about ensuring the software they produce is extremely reliable and easy to use. Steve West, Serato’s CEO said: “After years of talking together, we’re thrilled to be working with Ableton. It’s exciting to think about what we can offer to DJs and producers: the ability to go beyond just spinning records and add a personal stamp to the music they play.” These are indeed interesting times in the world of the Laptop DJ. With the new Traktor Scratch PRO software set for release in a couple of days, Native Instruments are breathing down Serato’s neck. Hopefully, the competition between these companies will result in some serious boundary pushing that will benefit DJs in the coming months and years. You can read the press release on Ableton’s site.

It seems that in the past year, the DJ industry has exploded with loads of new, revolutionary DJ paraphernalia from several manufacturers that suits nearly every genre of music and person, but a year later and Pioneer still dominates the DJ industry with a slew of DJ gear that is definitely unmatched. When compact discs became the new trend, Pioneer shattered the competition by introducing the CDJ line up. CDJs became the industry standard, replicating what Technics accomplished in the vinyl era. Unstoppable, Pioneer has done just what their name suggests, pioneering their way into the DVJ scene. A while back, Numark released their DVJ mixer, the AVM02 – a decent attempt, and one of the first of its kind (which was aimed at the more affordable end of the market), but this is Pioneer’s answer to Numark and its other competitors, the SVM-1000. The SVM-1000 promised nothing less than the Pioneer standard, and it delivered. At first impression the mixer looks typical of Pioneer’s DJ equipment theme. Black and Bold. The layout is impressive, with video controls out of the way from audio controls and effects and visuals in a domain by themselves. The challenge of combining VJing with DJing is the need to juggle audio and video together so that the club enthusiast can be engulfed in both sight and sound. This usually requires the VJ/DJ to control two cross-faders (as with the AVM02), one for video and one for audio. Pioneer decided that this was unnecessary and so they’ve made the SVM-1000 with a single cross fader that can simultaneously control both audio and video. Need I mention that the Pioneer cross fader has of course got assignable curves and fader-start effects? I didn’t think so. What’s is worth mentioning though is the vast amount of video and audio effects that Pioneer squeezed into this monster house. Any A/V DJ would agree with me when I say that effects help to really emphasize your creativity. The mixer boasts over 25 onboard effects ranging from AV Beat effects, to AV Touch effect and Text effects. AV Beat Effect Flavors Include: • Delay • Echo • Pan • Trans • Filter • Flanger • Phaser • Reverb • Robot • Chorus • Roll • Rev Roll AV Touch Effects: • Ripple • Lens • Spot • Radiation • Cube • Block • Kaleido • Twist • Zoom • Drop • Blur • Distortion Text Effects (these allow you to send text messages to the screens for the crowd to read): • Random • Zoom • Block • Rotation • Crush • Slide Conveniently, Pioneer have included an on-screen keyboard for its users so that no external keyboard is necessary, but just incase you’re a picky DJ (and many of us are!), you can add one via the USB input. Did I mention touch effects? This isn’t your uncle’s iPhone, the Pioneer SVM-1000 throws 11-inches of LCD directly at you, completely touch sensitive. This oversized touch screen allows the user to control all effects, monitor channels, utilize the digital cross fader and manipulate set-up. External media is evolving rapidly and Pioneer did not skimp on providing for the future, so we can see why the USB connectivity and SD Card readers were included. I know what some of you Pro DJs are going to say, adding all these effects must degrade either audio or video, or even both! I don’t know if this might disappoint you but it doesn’t, everything works like a well greased up winch, since Pioneer built in ultra high quality 96kHz/24-bit sound and a 32-bit DSP for superior audio quality. As far as visualizations, the SVM-1000 allows the video signal to be processed with 600 MHz/32-bit/4800 MIPS. What does this all mean? You get full dynamic range, minimal noise and no deterioration of video. Period. Still want more? The SVM-1000 gives you the option to control external MIDI equipment such as EFX and DJ/VJ application software. Why? Because you can. Being one of the first of its kind it does have some draw backs, one of which is that it does not support HDMI nor the 1080p display resolution, and majorly - the price tag. It’s currently available for about $6,999. I would recommend this mixer to everyone but based on its price only the wealthy few will be lucky enough to own one, and it is evident why a superstar DJ such as Sander Kleinenberg is one of the prime users of these monsters.
