DJ Craze goes nuts with Traktor Scratch Pro 2. Proves he’s a muthaf*cking monster
I’m a huge Native Instruments fan boy, all the way from their VST instruments to their DJ kit. In the video below you can watch DJ Craze do his thing on the new Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro 2 system alongside the Native Instruments Mashine (which I’ve been drooling over). The performance proves (again) what’s possible when the old school and the new school of DJing collide.

It includes instructions on how to install the LAME MP3 encoder required by Audacity to process the MP3 files.

Flambe – This week’s new tune
This is a preview of a tune I’ve been working on for a bit. It’s a drum driven track, very much in the vein of Copyright and The Columbian Drum Cartel. I’m still not happy with the rhythm that the percussion has, but I’m tweaking the swing and I think it’s pretty close.

Day 3 of Nomadic Marketing at the UCT GSB
Listening to Allan Kent from Saatchi and Saatchi give a talk on youth and mobile in the modern internet. Used this vid to illustrate the way that the line between producer/consumer and critic is blurring and how brands are no longer in control of their brands.

It’s a big ad – live from technomadic
Dave Duarte will probably beat me to this, but I thought that this was a brilliant ad played for us by Pieter Van Der Lingen (link to follow soon) at today’s Nomadic Marketing Lecture.
