Is that hummus? Oh my god I can’t believe somebody like you would eat hummus ha ha ha. I thought hummus was only sold in North Scottsdale where I live in my gated community. Ha ha ha. Wow…hummus.

Tron-esque graphics add a futuristic feel to this roller-derby pinball match.

Looking for a download? Me too. Unfortunately this track won’t be out until Feb 14, so until Valentine’s Day hopefully this cheesy video will hold you over.

The Swedes are set to release their newest offering in the form of the Electro Houser ‘Number One’. These days, it is hard for me to get past the fact almost every release from the trio as a collective sounds identical. However, this does not change the fact I and almost every other house DJ worldwide will have in their CD wallet at every gig.

So Kaskade continues to say he is producing House but honestly this sounds more like slow Trance to me. It’s true, producing Trance tracks is what gets you to the top of the DJ Mag Top 100 list but he needs to just fully embrace it and come out and say “Ok fine, this is Trance.” I know all of your House music buddies will give you crap cause you’ve gone over to the dark side, but come on be a man. Of course this is all in good fun, Kaskade, I tease I tease! I’ve played Trance, among many other style, for over 10 years and I’ve taken a fair amount of crap for it from many a closed mind. So without further ado, get Kaskade’s newest track “Dynasty (iTunes)” from his forthcoming album of the same name.

I’ve really grown tired of Apple telling me what I can and can’t do with my devices, what kind of software I’m allowed to run, what kind of hardware I’m allowed to use, and which computers I’m allowed to upload music to my phone from. The iPad is just more of the same crap in a pretty case. While I will admit the iPad has it’s uses and I love my I really do enjoy my [jailbroken] iPhone, I find it very hard to tolerate the hardcore limitations Apple places on the users of its mobile devices. I would love to see someone get OSX or even Linux running on the iPad and then we will truly see what something like the iPad could have been capable of.

Enter the HP Slate. This little baby not only looks to be packing some processing power but it is an “open” device. There are USB slots, video output, memory card slots, and it is running a proper full operating system so users can install whatever software they want. Which means we could see users running Ableton Live, FL Studio, Soundforge, ProTools, Serato, Traktor, and so much more. I can just imagine a DJ set using one of these or playing live with 2 of these machines and actually tweaking knobs on a virtual TB-303 with your fingers instead of a mouse. The possibilities are wide open and I can’t wait to see the Slate in action someday soon.

This week we have Utah Saints on the Podcast and to give a little intro I wanted to post one of my favorite Dance Music videos. Something Good 08′

Enjoy!
