Dubset – DJ alternative for Soundcloud?
In the past few months Soundcloud has been looking closer to DJ Sets and Mixtapes loaded onto their website. Result was that many DJ sets were removed due to copyright infringements. In some way understandable but on a other level just a shame. How are DJs then suppose to share their sets with their fans? Today we came across a new website that might be an alternative for DJs. Dubset! At first sight it all looks pretty neat and clean. However there is one downfall and that’s the mixes can’t be embedded on your personal website. And that’s the big PLUS that Soundcloud has!

Numark iDJ3 – Gearjunkies Review
The Numark iDJ3 is a powerful DJ controller. However, ‘the what’s so special about this controller‘ issue you’ll see when you look at it for the first time. The controller has a docking station for an iPod/iPhone right in the middle. With your iPod/iPhone you can play music from the device or you can even record music. If we look further you’ll see two touch sensitive jogwheels, a 3-band EQ section with kill buttons, four auto-loop buttons and the usual play, cue, sync and stutter buttons. Between the two jogwheels you’ll get a mixer section with a crossfader, three line faders, deck A and B buttons and a navigation button for that iPod/iPhone device.
