My Gear
Yes, now using Traktor Pro 2 !
0Nope this won’t be a huge post, just a f$^*&&*^cking HURRAY! from my side after first shortly using the demo and now just bought and installed the new and awesome Traktor Pro 2 from Native Instruments!!
I already used the demo and checked out my mappings from my APC40, APC20, my DDM4000 mixer and also my external soundcards. Everything worked pumping awesome and so couldn’t wait to buy it today!
Live remix of Rihanna’s S&M including vid!
2This weekend I wanted to remix the track from Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette – Hello, but then some friends reminded me of the awesome track from Rihanna – S&M. But I noticed that this track is not that as ‘club’ as I would like to have it in my collection, so I promised to do a quick and dirty remix!
Instead of sampling everything into Ableton (which is still not really my style), I focussed on keeping it my kind my kind of style so I decided to remix it ‘live’ and even record my movements into a movie so you could notice I’ve done it without tricks;)
The counter track (more its samples I’ve cut) you’re hearing the bass from is Jordan Peak – Body Double.
Let me know your thoughts on this live performance

Yes I Want One! The Reloop Contour Controller!
0Yeah I know, you need to have things to dream about. But I know for sure that I’ve plenty of things to dream about, so just get me one of these, NOW!
I now got an awesome setup already, but I want to move those APC’s into a CUE, FX and SAMPLE dedicated setup, to have awesome options to play with a functions of Traktor Pro 2 (T2!), without shifting through modes etc.
Recorded a mix with webcam and screen recording software!
0After moving to a different setup (focussing on midi and digital audio) I also connected cams to record my movements. Not just to show how good my dancing skills are
, but mostly (and even more fun!) to show the things I do on the controllers, the mixers and my PC. Therefore I’m also showing the software so you can also see what I’m looking at on my screen!
I’ve uploaded a video testing this and it already looks great, although not perfect yet. But feel free to decide this for yourself!
HouseQ – Qlub House (On The Move)
0Today I’ve spent some time on making changes to my DJ setup. Main thing was to do some mapping on my DDM 4000 which will replace my old 5000FX which of course isn’t digital and/or midi-compatible.
This mixer combined with my APC40 + APC20 will unleash the controllerism beast in me and make sure I’ll be able to have the best experience on mixing, cueing, fx’ing and sampling! It might take a little while before the best mapping will be finished, but for now it’s usable and therefore I’ve created a new (‘test’) mix!
This mix contains 30 minutes of full house and club music of today’s charts! Check out the track, or download it in full lenght, from the Soundcloud link below!
