DJ Cable - April 2010 Podcast

Easy all, hope you all had a good Bank Holiday weekend... I know we're already at the start of May, but here's April's Podcast... Better late than never, right?

This month's mix has more of an emphasis on the Hip Hop/Wonky/Experimental vibe, with brand new heat from the likes of Big Boi, Devonwho, Samiyam, Pac Div, J. Cole, Ghostface, Amp Live, 8 Ball & MJG, as well as recent music from Dibiase & T.I.

For the Dubstep and Grime section, there's new music from Benga, FuntCase, Ruckspin, Starkey and Frisco, with some tidy exclusives from D Double E, Dark Sky & Fused Forces.

Oh, I also threw in a little blend/mashup for good measure ;)

DJ Cable "Mixin It Up" for Discobelle.net

Shouts to Discobelle for giving me the opportunity to do a mix for their Mixin' It Up series, which has been graced by loads of other great DJs such as Bok Bok, Dave Nada and Drop The Lime, to name a few...If you don't know about Discobelle, they're one of the internet's leading dance music blogs, and have been highly influential when it comes to breaking new music.

For this mix, I decided to go with a selection of Dubstep & Grime tracks (both old and new) that I’m into at the moment, accompanied with a tiny bit of scratching here and there; Nothing too intricate though, as I wanted the tunes to speak for themselves.

You can also peep the full post here to see my reasons behind each choice. I hope you all enjoy the mix :)

DJ Cable's Guest Mix on BBC Asian Network

It's been a pretty exciting week so far. On top of having 5 shows to do, and Serato Video-SL arriving in the post, I also had a guest mix aired on DJ Kayper's show on BBC Asian Network, as part of the Hype "Mixtape Challenge".

For those that don't know, each week Kayper does the "Mixtape Challenge" on her show, where she challenges a DJ to fit 3 or 4 Desi tracks into a 15 minute mix of any genre; be it cutting them up, remixing/re-editing them, etc...In other words, you gotta be creative!

Previous DJs who've taken up the challenge include Crookers, MJ Cole, DJ Craze & DJ Yoda, so I knew I had to pull something out of the bag! So as a result, this mix showcases a lot more scratching, a whole mixture of genres, and some re-editing which I've done in Ableton. I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, there's also a brief interview with me at the start too...You can all witness how...erm...monotone/quiet I am lol...

DJ Dr. Spock (Video)

When it comes to turntablism, Dr. Spock is running shit....

The Best MIDI Controller in the World....Ever (Video)

Nope, it's not those insanely-priced Jazz Mutant ones that Daft Punk use....It's even more crazier:



Companies such as Akai, Korg & M-Audio spend millions of research and development to come up with the perfect MIDI controlle. This chap by the name of DJ Rasteri, armed with an open source code, a spare crossfader and a cardboard box(!), puts one together for peanuts.

When you look at the workings, it's the simplest of principles - the platter with markings spins and the position is tracked and fed to software via MIDI which gives the location and speed for the sample to be played at. The demo shown is actually Traktor being controlled via MIDI, however Rasteri thinks it's possible to make an all in one 'ScratchMan' (as it's been dubbed).

MIDI controllers made with cardboard & gaffer tape? Now that's some next level Blue Peter-type shit....

More pics here too.
