There’s no doubt that social media is the new wave of doing business and promotion. No matter how hard some try not using Myspace,Twitter,or Facebook, they are eventually sucked into it. Especially if you are an entrepreneur. As a DJ using twitter I have found it nice to be able to connect with fans and other artists through this media and with twitter DJ, a product created by Richie Hawtin, I can do that and even more. Twitter DJ uses a combination of Traktor and Twitter to update a DJ’s “followers” of whatever track the DJ is spinning. It looks like this…

“is now playing: CITIZEN KAIN & PHUTURE TRAXX – Cameleon (Pfirter Remix)

9:19 PM Sep 26th from Twitt3r_DJ

is now playing: Julien Chaptal Remix – YAKINE – STICKNEY (JULIEN CHAPTAL’S E DAY MIX) V1

9:18 PM Sep 26th from Twitt3r_DJ

is now playing: 2000 and One – Honey Bush [Tobi Neumann RMX]

9:15 PM Sep 26th from Twitt3r_DJ”

Thanks to Ean from DJ Tech Tools for the heads up. Check out DJ Tech Tools for more info or Richie’s site

Weekend Recollections:Mark Flash and Los Hermanos@ The Whitestar

Oct 272009
 

Friday night we made it down to Hamtramck to check out some live techno with Los Hermanos at the White Star. When we arrived, Terry Charles and Jeremy Poling were tagging some minimal techno, and there was a crowd of techno heads milling about. Good electronic music at the White Star seems so odd to me, the place seems like it’s normally a total chach club. Regardless, Los Hermanos went on around midnight and absolutely fucking killed it. Spacey, string filled, raw ass Detroit techno, that was just awesome. Gerald Mitchell is fuckin’ ill on the keys! We need more people in Detroit that could play live sets like this. I wish they would have played a little longer, but Mark Flash played a short DJ set that finished it out proper. Here’s the first part of the Los Hermanos set. Enjoy!

Review: Ibex – Eden E.P.

Oct 202009
 
Review: Ibex - Eden E.P.

Having produced tracks for Carl Craig’s Planet E label, Ibex is no newcomer to the Detroit scene. With his new release, Eden, you can really tell this artist has a seasoned ear and knows the Detroit sound. Growing up during the legendary Music Institute days has molded Ibex into a talented musician able to take the listener on a sonic adventure. Each track on the Eden E.P. is loaded with deep synth tones put together in a jazz-like progression reminiscent of UR’s “Mad” Mike Banks. Although being more towards the techno side of things, this E.P. definitely crosses into the deep tech-house realm. Each track is very good on its own and I can see myself spinning all of them. If your not up on Exchange Bureau your missing out, because along with Ibex, they hold a rather impressive roster of artists new and old. So head over to Exchange Bureau’s Blog and check out these new tracks peoples.
