Episode 116: Fall 2017 Bulletin

It's November! Time for us to get caught up on the seasonal updates with our Fall 2017 Bulletin! First, we respond to a voicemail from Avery looking for some clarity on DJ terminology. Thank a Veteran! (United States holiday - Veteran's Day) Pioneer DJS-1000: A totally different piece of gear from Pioneer, focusing on sample based performing, allowing a new way for DJs to create loops, textures, and songs on the fly, or create projects ahead of time and play them "live", while integrating with Pioneer's Pro DJ Link. XDJ-RX2: The next iteration of Pioneer's WILDLY popular completely standalone Rekordbox DJ controller. Reloop Touch - Touch screen controller for Virtual DJ, also includes video mixing at a very reasonable price. Pioneer & TC Supply developed a new protocol over Pro DJ Link to send relevant song and track information to integrate with VJ software, such as Show Control. MixCloud & Warner Music Group strike a deal, leaving many guessing what is to come, since the communication coming from MixCloud does NOT indicate any resemblance to the $9.99/month subscription services already on the market. Berlin nightclub Liquid Sky bans turntables and CDJs to promote alternative styles and technologies for DJ performances. Rusko announces he is cancer-free! Seth Troxler pledges $10k at UMF, which convinced other headliners and the festival organizers to raise money for hurricane relief.
