So this last past weekend the Mix Rev crew headed down to Atlanta to attend  Remix Hotel and check out some of the newest dj products, listen to some seminars and just check out the over all scene.  This years event was held over three days at the at the SAE music facility in down town. As we were driving down Peachtree road (by the way ever road in atlanta is called Peachtree road so look out).  We saw one of over favorite kilers Dj Klever and a slew of hipters/sneaker heads teenagers all swarming him for a picture so we knew we were close. After parking the car we walked around for a while til we found the exact entrance to Remix Hotel.

We signed in, took the elevator up to floor three and were instantly immersed in music and mayhem. Every where you looked there was something going on, seminars, lectures, and demos. But what we notice about this remix hotel was the fact that the theme was networking. You really got a sense of community amongst these ATaliens. After walking around a little and checking things out we went into the Pioneer room where low and behold we ran into our good friend Davey Dave who a dj and one of the big dawgs over at Pioneer. He along with a couple of the other guys from  Pioneer showed us the new Pioneer SVM-1000 dj mixer. What more can we say but sick. Imagine you have the already super powerful Pionner 800 mixer. Now add in the capability to have video mixing and editing. To say Pioneer is taking djing to whole new level with that mixer is an understatement.

After we kicked it with the pioneer guys we walked around a little more and headed into the Serato Room. Nothing new with regards to hardware from Rane. We did though get a chance to meet up with Atlanta’s own  Cristo and talk to him about the scene in Atlanta and his residency at Rob Wonders El bar. As well as chillin out to the tunes of Prince Presto.

We couldn’t help it, we had to show you the goods.

Remix Hotel Atlanta 2008 was a great event, we can’t wait to head down to Miami for Winter music conference and Remix Hotel Miami 2009.
