Here’s two of my favorite music/dj items in life: Maya Jane Coles and the Allen & Heath Xone:DB2. (And yeah, one of her own productions is featured as well. )

RSTRCTD – good times ahead

Ome Les — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 10:24:32 +0000

Just got my Kontrol S4 back from Daniel, so I got some nice times ahead!

MIDIfighter, designed by workgringo at workgringo.com

I had just the MIDIfighter for a short period, as I was trying to get my new studio in order. But as one might expect I could not just keep it at that.
This is what I am aiming for ultimately ofcourse:

First things first though. I will most probably go and raid the local Ikea to purchase a 4×2 Expedit cabinet, some Capita legs, and some isolating floor panels so that I can finally start building my studio in the attic.

Next to this Daniel(James Dan) and I will be finally setting up a firm basis for RSTRCTDnl. This will become the home stomping ground of our Restricted Sessions, that will also be featured on SimplyRadio’s Simply Electro.

Production-wise 2012 will also be a nice and challenging year. The liquid d&b(Sparkling Tree) project Daniel and I are working on is working to be a promising track. Mastering and EQing will take place this week.
If this works out to be the fine track we think it to become, we will be talking experimental projects that can work out into a musical expedition not yet encountered!

More on all of this as it will develop of course.

After all the previous posted Work in Progress tracks, I decided to share one of my own.

Rough skeleton is set, details need to be added.

This track keeps me busy even though I am a bit stuck about its’ direction.

Gøtye ft Kimbra – Lime remix

Ome Les — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:08:59 +0000

My homeboys, Lime cooked up this nice remix of Gøtye ft Kimbra – Somebody I used to Know.

I know loads of you will enjoy this and give this the respect it deserves.

To my opinion it captures the intimate character of the original, while enhancing it with nice Trance Progressive emotions.

Listen and Enjoy as I did!

Traktor just became more awesome!

4 Ways clubs rip DJs off

Ome Les — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 10:00:35 +0000

Phil Morse of DigitalDJtips.com has posted an excellent article concerning the money schemes Clubs tend to play on starting DJs.

We’re always telling you to get out there and get gigs, but whether you just get a booking at a local bar, lounge or club, or you decide to go all the way and actually put on an event of your own, there are always people out there who won’t play fair when it comes to paying you what was agreed.

Novation implicating a new ‘Slicer’ DJ controller?

Ome Les — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 19:21:02 +0000

While I’m still getting to grips with my Native Instruments Kontrol S4, I’m already receiving signal that a new Novation DJ controller is on its’ way.
One can only think of what Novation will call this one. First they came with the ‘Dicer’, so this could be a ‘Slicer’?

What can we expect?
A few experts over at DJTechTools already came up with this mockup:

nem0nic(Craig Reeves) was able to conjure this up together with a few others, photojojo(Chris Jennings), by just watching this youtube vid.

When can we expect it?
Novation stated around the fifth of April this year? (Thanks for reminding, Twumpy!)
