New Loopmasters Concept starts with Guy J – Transitions EP

·0 comments·

A few years ago Loopmasters started a new concept in the market of traditional ‘Loop and Sample’ packs with their DJ Mixtools series. With each DJ Mixtools release you got the complete stems of four EDM tracks for you to use in your live sets. Each track came with seperate stems for drums, synths, percussion, bass, etc. This way you had ample opportunity to spice up your sets or even do live remixes. This week Loopmasters presented a follow-up on this concept with the Artists EP series. Each edition of this series is a full blown Artist EP released together with all the loops, hits and stems used to create it. First in this series is Guy J with his ‘Transitions EP‘, which is a beautiful collection of four deep hypnotic House and EDM tracks together with all the associated sample used in the production of them.

Zomo MC-1000 DJ Controller – Gearjunkies Review

·0 comments·

If you see the Zomo MC-1000 for the first time you’ll notice it wants to look different then your usual average controller on the market. By its compact shape and limited amount of buttons, it’s clear (to me) that this isn’t intended to be a stand-alone controller. This device has been developed to be used together with a DJ mixer. It has the width of a 12″ club mixer, like for example a Pioneer DJM-850/900. Furthermore it is clear that the Zomo ‘borrowed’ some design features of Pioneer mixers.
