0
A few weeks ago I created the new DJ concept called; Orange Deejays; You all know of DJ’s starting and/or joining groups to perform and DJ using a group name instead of their own, for example Above & Beyond, Housequake and many, many more….
Step by step the concept is build further, but meanwhile it’s pillars must rise as well; the DJ’s and the Producers! As the starter of the concept I ‘joined’ the collective as from today, and will continue to further specify the concept and search for more (relevant;)) people to join the collective!
If you’re interested just check out OrangeDeejays.com and contact us, become a friend of us on Facebook or just simple follow us on Twitter, in either way you’ll hear from us, soon 
Send in your tracks and suggestions!

You might have noticed the new feature on the right of this website, called ‘Music in the mix!’ (send me your sounds). It’s a cool function of SoundCloud making it possible to send me tracks via my own account. So you don’t need to login, you don’t need to pay (it’s free to upload a track!) and it’s easy to send me your tracks (your own, or just any track you like!).
So if you have any suggestions about a new cool track (house, trance, club, jazz, whatever), feel free to throw in the track title in the comments, or if you have the track, upload it into my dropbox!
Don’t forget to post your name if you want to have any credits. I’ll try to use as many tracks in the suggestions I’ll receive as possible (so tracks in my email, tracks in my dropbox, or tracks suggested in here or via my Facebook), and if some of them won’t feed neatly, I’ll try to find a great remix version (or even create my own;)).
So let’s go, send in your favorite tracks now!

APC40 sends out different notes per production batch
1
Some of you already noticed that the APC controller mappings I’ve provided somehow don’t 100% correctly work on your APC40 with Traktor Pro. Most errors appear on the red/blue/green button sections, but also some people seem to have strange behaviour on the track selection buttons.
While I was checking out what could be the reason, I found a possible reason for all these strange behaviours; the APC40 notes-overviews are different per country and/or production batch and/or ?. Until now I’ve seen various notes-overviews, in total I’ve already noticed 3 different ones so far. I’ve no idea whether this can be set manually but nobody on any forum, nor on the Ableton or AKAI website, has any information about this. Some of you might not even care , but this makes sharing TSI and controller mappings for i.e. Ableton quite hard.
Using your Android as a touchscreen midi controller
0
Recently I was reading about stuff for the iPad (probably somewhere on DJTechTools) and I noticed the great touchscreen midi app (and other music stuff) which already is available for the iPad. My first thought were; I want this on my HTC desire as well!!!
So I hopped into Google and search for ‘midi Android’ and within seconds the beauty revealed itself; Fingerplay Midi! This simple program allows you to use pads, faders and xy-pads on your Android based mobile, via a wifi connection it connects to your PC in your network and enables you to use it just like any midi controller, only this time it’s wireless!
