Best Performance MIDI controller?!


I've started a thread on disqus. what's the 'Best Performance MIDI controller?!' Thrown in your comments & feedback... with exact models & links. Let's see what we can come up with.

Free DJ sets from Miss Melera


Free dj set downloads at Missmelera.org The sets are mixed by a dutch female dj Miss Melera. The genre: from techno to prog. Have a blast!

Free dj mixes and dub, minimal mp3


Listening to djsets found on mixotic I came across a net label which was featured in the tracklist. Unfoundsound.com hosts a few good djsets, also some live performance and videos that you might have a look at. I'm actually downloading one live pa right now. LIVE shows are very interesting from a perspective of music maker in terms of arrangement, instrument choices, timing & sampling. Especially, if you want to learn to do one yourself.

See the about note below:
