DJ? Who says so?
It had to happen – reading one too many knee jerk “fake DJ” comments on tha internetz made me snap. So I pose this oh so simple question for you to ponder and get hot under the collar about – just what the hell is a “real DJ”?

AIR Opening with Sander Kleinenberg, Amsterdam
We caught up with DVJ superstar, Sander Kleinenberg, at the opening of his new club, AIR, in Amsterdam, where he spoke passionately about the club itself (his architect dad helped him design the DJ booth), the club’s dedication to visuals with its many many screens, and the equipment he uses there (SVM-1000 and 3 x DVJ-1000s). Sander told us about his visual style that he’s developed alongside Mark Pistoor and about the exciting new website (www.dvjclips.com) for the public to purchase Sander’s DVJ clips, which is in the making.

Novation’s next thingy – next week
For those of you who follow me on Twitter (why aren’t you?), last week I twatted about receiving a hot new piece of nextlevelness from a secret source that paid an all too flying visit to skratchworx towers, and that you’d just have to wait a while for it to be launched. Well Novation don’t seem to be able to contain themselves and have posted the vaguest of teasers about said product – with a counter and everything.

REVIEW: Numark V7

It doesn’t matter how many products come out with CD in the ever lengthening nomenclature, we DJs want a quick and easy way to use our digital audio with our chosen lump of DJ hardware. Some like the ever classic feel of vinyl, while others take the MIDI controller route.

On Stage Audio Deploys World’s First Professional-Grade Application Of AVB
In a highly advanced, yet-remarkably simple audio system design that points to the future of professional-grade integration, On Stage Audio (OSA) this month deployed the world’s first real-world test of the IEEE 802.1 AVB Bridging protocol. OSA’s team, led by Jim Risgin, Vice President, configured and controlled a Crown Audio, dbx, and BSS Audio A/V system using Harman HiQnet for the Compuware national sales meeting in Detroit, Michigan and ran audio using Ethernet AVB standards.

The iPad cometh…
By the end of the week, I may have reverted to uncommunicative fanboy rather than objective industry commentator, as I drool over my new acquisition – a 16Gb iPad. My reasons for getting one are twofold – firstly Mrs Gizmo needs her own lightweight surfing box. But secondly, I strongly believe that the iPad will have a ridiculous impact on the DJ scene that the iPhone cannot have
