If you know me, you probably know about my love of Japan, its culture, people, music, movies, technology… everything. I have tried learning Japanese (apparently, it’s not that difficult after you learn all the symbols), I also have tried introduce my friends to japanese music ( fail…). What you don’t know is that for last 3 years I have been waiting for release of the most interesting documentary I have found on-line in years. I believe it was in 2008, the first year of my studies, when I first saw the trailer of ‘Live From Tokyo’. Three years later my waiting is finally over! As read on their facebook page, the documentary will be released tomorrow on August 23rd via the Good Charamel Records! Hurrah!!!
Check out their website for more info and listen to the documentary soundtrack preview!

PS: A portion of the proceeds from this DVD/ALBUM package will be donated to the Red Cross Tsunami Relief fund in Japan. So if you like the trailer, please join me and buy a copy too!
Stanton SCS.4DJ Mixstation
As a DJ, I love my job and I love the tools I’m using – Akai LPD8 pads & knobs for cue-juggling and fx handling, sturdy little box of M-Audio x-session pro, pocket audio2dj and the core of it’s all – laptop equipped with all the software and music I need. While the first three ones are not particularly expensive, the laptop is the second most precious thing in my life (just after my beautiful girl) and if something would happen to it, I’d probably die. I’m not joking. So every time I go out to play I go through the same set of worries – ‘Maybe I should wrap up my laptop in something soft, for extra protection?’, ‘What’s the booth like? Is it gonna be safe, no drinks spilled over my precious during the set and all sockets safe so I don’t blow up all my electro-babies?’. As laid back as I am, for those matters I can turn into the biggest stresshead you’ve ever seen. That, and let’s be honest. Thanks to all the miniaturization and technological progress DJ’s are no longer required to carry around big massive boxes of vinyl, turntables or even CDJs for that matter plus mixer on top etc etc. Just a laptop and a bunch of peripherals that fit into one backpack. I know, it got so much more convenient, but… I’m sure it could get better!!
Well, seeing newest baby Stanton, my hopes for ultimate all-in-one DJ gear are high. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you new Stanton SCS.4DJ! First fully integrated computer, software and controller! “No external computer is needed, the software is pre-loaded. Ready to go, right out of the box. Just add music and play.”
