Star Productions Inc.

Here is a one hour mix perfect for loungin’ around the pool or hangin’ around the dock!

Enjoy!

Pseudosonic

Here is the Pseudosonic Edit of the new epic track by house powerhouses Mark Knight and Wolfgang Gartner. Listen for the Blackberry Sound right at the drop!

So we were inspired to come up with a mix that broke the mold and went back to the roots of house music. You will hear Tech House, Vocal House, Progressive, a bit of Trance and into true Pots & Pans Techno!

All I can say is WICKED!!!

Here is the latest in the Pseudosonic House Music Series…This one is really deep, but will have you dancing anyway!

Serato and Pioneer have announced details of a new partnership which will link their respective Scratch Live and CDJ products.

Said to function simply through a “plug-and-play connection,” Serato’s new integration with Pioneer’s CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 models will grant DJs access to their Scratch Live music library via the decks’ standard interface, with the option to flick between software and CDJ mode. Once the CDJs are hooked up with official Rane hardware, features such as crates, album artwork, track overviews and cue/loops point will become accessible via the CDJ’s colour screen and hardware controls.

General Manager of Serato Audio Research, Sam Gribben, said of the collaboration: “The tightest integration is achieved with co-engineered hardware and software, and we are very pleased to have worked so closely with Pioneer to make this a reality. For the first time, DJs can enjoy the flexibility of software and a rich hardware display right at their fingertips.”

The supporting Serato Scratch Live version 2.1 is scheduled for release in Q3 of 2010 though the Serato site, while the 3.10 firmware for CDJ2000 and CDJ900s—enabling integration with Serato Scratch Live 2.1—will be available as of July 12th via Pioneer DJ. Both will be available as free downloads.

Ben,

 

Jesse and I just wanted to send you an email and tell you what a fantastic time we had at our wedding.  You were amazing and did such a great job as our MC.  You kept the night flowing, even though we were a little delayed  (police boats and my dad’s speech to name a few reasons!!!)

I’m not normally a dancer, but I didn’t want to leave the dance floor all night!!!  Thank you for helping create a memorable day for us!  I have a few great professional shots of you dj’ing if you would like me to send you copies!!!

We will definitely be referring your company to all of our friends that have upcoming weddings.

Leigh & Jesse RILEY

I had the opportunity to DJ at the Roosevelt Room for the Women of Baycrest and their advanced screening of Sex & The City 2.  Here is the video.  Watch for me at 2:22!  What a great night!
