For sale: Edirol UA-25 24 bit/96 kHz USB Audio Capture


Life of a bedroom DJ is hard (and expensive). But life of the bedroom rocker was even worse. Therefore I'm selling some gear I once bought to record guitar samples, synth sounds, etc. (and that I don't need/use anymore since I'm in controllerism)

FOR SALE

An (almost) unused Edirol (by Roland) audio soundcard; professional audio performance into a compact, solid metal body. Once connected, power is simply taken from the USB bus. The UA-25 is both Mac & PC compatible, and comes with the original packing & manual.

All tech specs can be found here

If you're interested, just send a mail to phantombynight@gmail.com or drop a comment.

150 EUR will do the trick, first in, first out.

Justice at the AB, the day after

Brussels under attack! A new religion has confirmed the hype.
Justice was awesome yesterday, and we all liked it. Off course, everybody knows the tracks by now so it's like a sing-along contest, but still they did very well.


It seems Xavier & Gaspard finally have a decent live act, which will put them between the great names of electronic music history. If you had some doubts about it, they are gone now. Even if their latest video "Stress" is not exactly politically correct...the music & the show...damn, did we have a blast last night or what?


And did you hear that? Rage Against The Machine, Ramstein, Metallica through the set? It's all coming back...for good! Finally!


PS: Who's got some unchristian after show stories from the Recyclart? Feel free to post :-)

Justice = $old Out, but don't forget the official after party @ Recyclart!


Justice plays the AB on Saturday May 10th. Tickets are already sold out for weeks. You can still win some tickets here & there, but...I seem to read more about the after party @ Recyclart than the actual Justice show.

No presale! So be there or be...[]


Special guests? Wtf!? They didn't even bother to call me ;-)

First Beatport Music Awards 2008 - the winners


The first ever Beatport Awards. For those who download illegally, on Beatport you'll find the electronic dance tracks you like, even in .wav. Not the cheapest online store, but still, some tracks are hard to find (and not in iTunes), and you have a good chance finding them in Beatport. The catalogue is being stuffed with new tracks as we speak, so don't hesitate to check it regularly.
http://www.beatport.com/
http://www.beatportal.com/ (still bèta)

And the winner is...
Electro House
1. Deadmau5 (aha...that's a nice recognition for the Canadian who made a very tasty Daft Punk remix of "Harder Better Faster Stronger", he also won the Progressive House Award)


2. Pryda (who? honestly...had to google for him...but it's sexy music maker Eric Prydz! :-)
3. Sebastien Leger (totally agree!)

(Para mi gente de Colombia....)
Deadmau5 va tocar en Colombia:
Jun 13 2008 - Cinema Club - Bogota, Bogotá (Distrito Capital)
Jun 14 2008 - Carnival Club - Medellin
(and it seems that the Carnival Club is a hell of a place... ;-)

(Voor de Belgische lezertjes...)
De heer Pryda / Prydz komt naar Illusion. (Tof. Maar niet meteen my piece of cake.)
May 11 2008 - Club Illusion

Best Electronica Artist
1. Trentemöller (:-/)

Official "Stress" video by Justice

Start talking about it...a shocking new Justice video. Wanna bet that this one will NOT win an MTV Video Award?



With thanks to blogger Phil H (http://root.skynetblogs.be)

UPDATE:
It's not the first time that Justice attempts to provocate a fight with music. Look at the symbol around Ice-T's neck! It's so obvious!
