Allen & Heath Teams With Software Designer Mixed In Key For New DJ Software
December 30, 2006 | Filed Under Tech Zone | No Comments
‘Xone Mixed in Key’ is Windows and MAC OS X software, which analyzes MP3 and .WAV files, identifies the key of a track, and highlights which other tracks are harmonically compatible. This eliminates the possibility of key clashes whilst performing live, and allows the DJ to analyse their entire music collection, discovering compatible songs.
“Xone Mixed in Key eliminates the time-consuming and laborious task of manually detecting the root note of every track. Allen & Heath has a golden reputation in the DJ community, and we’re excited to offer Xone Mixed In Key software to a wider audience,” writes Mixed In Key president, Yakov Vorobyev.

iTunes Xmas problems
December 29, 2006 | Filed Under Tech Zone | No Comments
Apparently any new iPod owners’ introduction to the dizzy world of iTunes includes error messages and slowdowns of 20 minutes or more for downloads. That is, those who can even get into the iTunes store at all.
Online market researcher Hitwise said that the iTunes site had more than four times the usual amount of traffic, which appeared enough to knock it over completely. Apple has not been around for a quote, but following its normal policy it would probably tell us that only a small number have been affected.

James Brown dies at 73
December 25, 2006 | Filed Under Artists | No Comments
James Brown, the singer known as the Godfather of Soul but also probably the most sampled musician of all time, died last night at the age of 73. Brown was hospitalized with pneumonia at Emory Crawford Long Hospital on Sunday and died around 1:45 a.m. Monday. Though his life was often plagued by trouble with drugs and the law, his music influenced disco, rap, and funk and his dancing inspired performers as diverse as Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.
R.I.P.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Misstress Barbara on Border Community
December 21, 2006 | Filed Under Artists, Labels, Releases | No Comments
Misstress Barbara has signed to James Holden’s Border Community and ditched the hard techno she’s best known for with “more melodic, stripped-back - dare we say minimal” music, the label revealed this week. “Border Community is proud to announce the latest new recruit to our burgeoning roster of supremely talented genre-benders,” BC declared. “In an era when traditional genre boundaries of dance music are becoming increasingly blurred, it is entirely fitting that techno heroine Misstress Barbara should now find a second home in the Border Community.”
Well, what can we say, although we understand artist’s need to evolve musically, the “old Barbara” is going to be missed. Everytime we saw her live, she rocked the floor! Hopefully she’ll continue doing it!
