Two House legends, Frankie Knuckles & Jamie Principle create a smooth, vocal house track that takes you back to the good old days, simply superb. Shapeshifters also provide a remix that gives it a more upbeat and more modern edge.
New DJ Setup – Traktor Kontrol S4
Apr 16th
This week I purchased the Traktor Kontrol S4 – a usb controller perfectly designed for the Traktor Pro software, and after using it briefly this week, I’m very much impressed with it.
Before I was using Denon DNS1200 cd players to control the software via MIDI, which worked very well but after the the announcement of Traktor Pro 2, there were some things that just weren’t possible to do or far more difficult to do – mainly the sample decks and using 4 decks to make far more interesting and dynamic mixes.
The Kontrol S4 now combines all the controls needed for the Pro software, not to mention the use of the internal mixer and ability to record mixes in the software itself – without the need of additional sound card or cables and software.
My DNS-1200 CD players, which have been great ever since I first bought them, will now be sold on ebay, so if you’re interested in buying them off me, let me know! They’ll soon be posted on here once I post them on ebay.
Traktor Pro 2 – New DJ Software
Mar 7th
Native Instruments have recently announced the new Traktor Pro/Scratch Pro 2 Software to follow the previous big update, to be released on April 1st.
Big changes in the update include:
Coloured Waveforms
Loop Recorder
Sample decks
2 New effects
Other smaller features and settings
The update looks superb but I do wonder how it’ll be possible to control Effects, hot cues and the sample decks with one Kontrol X1, hopefully there’ll be a workaround, I imagine it’s using the Shift key to alternate between effects and sample decks. Check out the video below:
Electro House Mix – March 2011 – Version 1 & 2
Mar 2nd
A 70-minute mix-set full of Peak-Time Electro House bangers from big names including Sidney Samson, Michael Woods, Feed Me, Afrojack, Steve Angello and even a bit of Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg!
I’ve recorded 2 different versions of the same mix-set. The first has a lot of edits and effects throughout and I wasn’t sure if it worked well enough. Version 2 has fewer effects & edits and more attention on the mixing.

The Phantom’s Revenge – B*stard Can Do Twin Town (Edit)
Jan 17th
An edit of The Phantom’s Revenge “B*stard Can Do 90″, replacing the samples with samples from the film “Twin Town” – a 1997 film based in my hometown Swansea – a film very well known down here!
More edits coming soon, including This Is Miami (Sander Kleinenberg) “This is Swansea” version.
I’m now on SoundCloud, check out my profile here

Red Hot Chili Peppers vs Benny Benassi – My Otherside (DJ Kevin-E’s Bootleg Full Edit)
Jan 10th
I’ve been looking for the full version of Benny Benassi’s remix of Red Hot Chili Peppers – Otherside everywhere but I can’t find it, so here’s my own DJ friendly full length edit as I think it would go down great on the dancefloor. (See Download link below for full 320kbps mp3)
I assume it’s never been released, so this is a bootleg (I don’t want to break copyright law!)

Traktor Pro Distortion? – A Possible Solution
Jan 9th
I’ve finally found a way to solve the distortion and stuttering playback in Traktor Pro when connecting it to my MIDI CD decks.
I searched for days on Google about possible ways to solve the problem, such as re-installing drivers, disabling wireless etc but none of them worked until I came across this…
The issue was with the MIDI mapping settings, and here’s the process I have to do each time I load Traktor Pro to get good sound quality.
At the start you can just about hear the stuttered playback, and then I make the settings changes I need to make every time I load the software to get good sound quality.
