Dope new mixes in the next blog posts!

I do not consider myself a great DJ at all. I have dabble in many aspects of the field for 13 years now. One thing that has always perplexed me and been a big thorn in my side is when you go to mix 2 songs that you know have beats that are easily mixed but for some reason they sound awful together. It didn’t always make sense until one day I read about how many of the best Electronic DJs not only worry about BPM but also the Key in which the song is played.

Years of musical training all made sense at that moment. When someone sings a song off key, like a friends in the car, it sounds terrible. We all have experienced that. So why would it be the same for 2 songs that get mixed together.

Now if most of you are like myself, you don’t have the time to worry about this.

So in comes Yakov Vorobyev and his company Mixed In Key, LLC. A program I have been working with for over a year now.

It’s a pretty simple and straightforward program that can figures out the Temp and Key of every MP3 or WAV file you have. It will then place it’s analysis in the BPM and Comments section of your file and will then come up in any Software program you use. I have tested it with Serato, Traktor and Numark Cue. The video below is a bit chessy but informative.

The purist may get angered by this but as for I am all about spreading this simple process in order to hear more cleaner Mixtapes and Sets while out at the Local Dive! Also, on a side not, think about all the DJ AM/Crooklyn Clan mash ups you can make that will actually sound right together!

It’s supporters are impressive too from Kaskade to Blank & Jones to Deep Dish and Pete Tong. Amazing DJs with amazing talent.

The site explains it all and has great tutorials. There is no need for me to go into detail about how to use. But for a simple investment of $58, your current and future fans will be thanking you and in turn Mr. Vorobyev for this wonderful creation! Check it out now!!!!

New Music is Everywhere nowadays. Everyday, Radio is proving that it serves no purpose. Some may argue with me on this but at least when I head to the clubs in LA, more and more I ma noticing that the DJs and the crowd are beginning to know the Jams bumping throughout the net. Case in point, MSTRKRFT, which should be a household name for every DJ by now. You should be playing at least one of their remixes or originals in your set regardless if you spin Hip-Hop, Electro, Top 40 or Indie. People go nuts. On that note I give you their latest remix of John Legend’s jam, “Green Light.” If you haven’t got this yet then download it. Also attached are some other tunes you should enjoy. Have fun!

John Legend Ft. Andre 3000 - Green Light (MSTRKRFT Remix)

New Jay-Z. You may have this but if not then get on it! His best track in years!
Jay-Z- Dope Boy Fresh (Jockin’ Jay=Z)

Flufftronix posted this up and I like it:

Hostage is one of my favorite Electronic artist. Check out his latest mix and track, which uses a sample from my favorite group of all time.

This past Monday I had the opportunity to witness 2 Many DJs aka some of the guys from Soulwax courtesy of Scion and iheartcomix. I will say that this was one fo the most amazing gigs I have been to in years. Some DJs play what the people want to hear. Some DJs think they have to be avante and hip playing only the latest tracks and what they think is cool. Then there are those rare few who can do both all while playing the emotions of the crowd. This is what we saw. I posted some videos from my Canon SD750 Elph, so they aren’t the best but enjoy.

In 2 weeks, Soulwax will be releasing their much antcipated Documentary, Part of the Weekend Never Dies, where one camera followed them around for 120 days straight of non-stop performances and DJ gigs. From what I have seen so far, this will be a must see for all DJs and Music Artists. A glimpse into what it really takes to make it big across the world! If you own an xbox you can get the video now in full HD on xBox live!

If you haven’t check them out yet then head over tho their site right now, WWW.SOULWAX.COM!!!!

Greetings everyone,

As some of you may know, I’ve spent the past year and a half working on my debut solo album, Solitude, along with a brand new live show (turntables, synthesizers, visual elements, showcase sets, etc). The album contains guest appearances from Royce da 5′9″, C-Rayz Walz, Ill Insanity, Rites of Ash and more. The intended single is called The Right which features Jean Grae & Wrekonize. Unfortunately, this song WILL NOT be on the album due to an inability clearing one of the video game samples but feel free to check out the video and download the free MP3…

…Also, check out the album press release below for the full track listing and information to be used for public writings. Anyways, I bring you the official premier of my video so enjoy it and make sure to rate it, save it as a favorite, blog it, bulletin it, etc. Thanks again and be sure to mark your calendars. Peace. –DJ I-Dee

So hit him up and make this man known! He is a genius!

So I felt like adding to the New Music Monday’s gig by adding my post on something new and free to download.

This morning Trent Reznor decided to celebrate Cinco De Mayo be giving us his latest Nine Inch Nails album, THE SLIP. This one is a non-instrumental record. I like that. The amazing thing is you can dowload it for free and in the format and sound quality you choose. Ah Trent you are beginning to amaze me again.

I have already given it a spin in iTunes and it has some good tunes, especially for all you remixers out there!

So for all you Dance DJs, Rockers or Music Fans click on the pic below and just download it. It’s free. What more could you ask for.

So for a long time we have been talking about doing music mondays over here at Mix Rev and we finally got our SH#T together. So every week on mondays we will be posting a dj set from some of our personal favorite DJ’s from around the world across all musical genres. To Kick things off right we are bringing you a the latest mixtape from L.A.’s Own Dan Oh. For those of you who don’t know who this guy is, crawl out of that hole you have been living in for the last six months and walk yourself toward Cinespace every tuesday night in L.A. and go check this kid out. So with out further delay here is his latest mix Dan OH is legend

So I am bored right now sitting in the Vegas Airport while waiting for my connecting flight to Salt Lake City. It’s 7:45 in the morning and I have slept about an hour, which was on the flight, in the past 24 or more hours. I can’t imagine how you, the touring DJs of the world do it, day in and day out. I am probably setting myself up for the 2nd freak out of my life.

Well while I am sitting here searching my Blog Reader I am noticing a reoccurring topic catching my eye, restaurants and food. So since I am slowly become a jet setter myself, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite eats of the past few weeks and some fo my all time favorites for you all to check out and maybe try some day!!! Here goes my list:

Le Tub: While out in beautiful South Beach, I had the chance to meet up with a close friend from home, who lives out there as missionary. The kid has really knows the local sweet spots. I sent him an email saying I would take him to lunch while I was out there but he had to pick one of the best spots he knew of in the area. What a way to come through. I had their famous Sirlionburger with Swiss Cheese. Sorry In-N-Out but I have a new favorite burger, so does Oprah, GQ and many other magazines who have written excellent articles on the place. Read up and get some grub!!!!

Larios On The Beach: Since I am on a WMC kick I will also mention a great Cuban place, DJ I-Dee took us to. Larios On The Beach right on Ocean Drive in South Beach. I told I-Dee I really wanted some good Cuban Food and he came through. All I need was my “Yucca Frita” and I would be set. It was delicious. Oh and the Pollo was great too. Try it!!! You won’t regret.

In-N-Out: I am not going to say more than this, “That’s What a Hamburger’s All About.” Even “Super-size Me” couldn’t deny it’s greatness.

Well these are three spots I highly recommend. Up next week, I will have an actual review of a In-N-Out wannabe I had in Utah last week. Interesting! Until then, eat up and poop out! Ha!
