New Traktor Pro DJ Setup Preview Video
Oct 1st
A quick preview video of my new DJ setup using Denon DNS-1200 cd decks and a Traktor X1 Kontrol connected up to Traktor Pro DJ software on the iMac.
It took a while to get it all set up properly, getting the cd player display to show correctly and to get better pitch resolution with MIDI etc, but it’s all working and I’ll be making some new mixes very soon! Well, as soon as I can sort out a mixer as my current DJM-400 has problems with the outputs (right channel isn’t working)
Tomcraft – Room 414 (Can’t Get Away)
Aug 12th
Superb Vocal House from Tomcraft, I’m loving this right now:
Afrojack feat. Eva Simons – Take Over Control
Aug 8th
I can’t say I’m a big fan of Afrojack and the rest of the Dutch House style, it’s all a bit “samey” – all tracks sound the same and they don’t seem to go anywhere. Like marmite, really, I know a lot of people love it but I’m not a big fan.
Afrojack has made a few tracks I like, “Louder than Words” was good and “Pacha on Acid” too, but other tracks in the more Dutch House style I just can’t get into. “Take Over Control” is probably his best release to date in my opinion, great vocals from Eva Simons, it has a more progressive beat to it but Afrojack can’t resist to include that Dutch sound in the background, which after some nice vocals, it kicks into a heavy electro riff – great for peak times.

Jean Jacques Smoothie – 2People (Louise la Roche Remix – DJ Kevin-E Edit)
Jul 19th
I bought this remix from djdownload.com but only discovered afterwards that it’s only 2 mins – not long for DJ use, so I decided to loop it a bit to make it 4 minutes+. Nothing special here, just a bit of intro/outro looping to play it at gigs.
New Trance/House Video Mix
Jul 10th
A brand New 10-minute Video Mix, with a mix of Trance and House, starting with Stoneface & Terminal – Moment, before kicking into Tiesto’s remix of Tweak Your Nipple by Faithless, before finishing with one of the biggest House tracks of the Year – Swedish House Mafia – One.

Tune of the Week – J C – Free (Stonebridge Re-Fx)
May 10th
One of those funky, uplifting bangers that catches your attention as soon as you hear it. A Funky tune with a filtered, FX vocal sample but with a electro feel to it as well. Sure to be big this Summer.
Here’s Armada’s description of the release:
“Summer has hit the speakers, with Free as its soundtrack. A chunky, funky, happy-go-lucky type of house tune from the John Carr studio. J-C brought big room to the next level, with cheeky use of filters, faders and loads of other sound-effects. Free makes the speakers go more than just boom, it shocks them with all the right vibes to fire the crowd.
Mister Stoney Boy himself, StoneBridge, added his touch to Free, making it extra smooth and flowing. Free has peak time written all over!”
