Nicki Minaj has finally jumped the shark and released a full-scale Pop record. Her new song “Starships” which was released yesterday from her upcoming sophomore LP Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is a 125 BPM bubble gum song sure to be requested by everyone. Song is produced by the guy who put Lady Gaga on the map, RedOne.


Would I have rather heard her beasting lyrically with a straight hip-hop song? Of course. Do I understand that she is just trying to soak up that market that she introduced herself to on the Britney Spears tour? Duh.


I’m sure this song will get remixed out the ass, and Brian Dawe will be the catalyst for it. Just send me the non-hype edits, ok buddy?


What do you guys think of the song?

Orlandos own DJ Y-not? got to do something most local DJs will NEVER get to say that they were ever able to do…open for DJ Premier. Sadly, this event was not held in Orlando, but held in the 305, Miami, at Bardot.


Apparently he forgot to save his mix from that night but did manage to save his mix from his set the next night. Here’s the catch: apparently he forgot his needles and managed to locate a spare one but that was it. So he was doing the infamous one table set. Every DJ has had it happen one time or another, where you mix the track in with the deck you have, and once you’re in the song, you drag it over to your virtual deck, and go from there. Professionals only.


Anyway, it is another solid block of music from one of Orlandos finest. Peep the swagger below.

As we start this new year, I think it is important as a DJ to be out with the old and in with the new. A couple years ago I posted a blog about songs that needed to go away starting the new year, and it actually got reposted on the Orlando Weekly Blog.


With another new year approaching, I decided to do it again. So here we go, the Top 5 songs that I feel all DJs should cut out of their playlists.


5. LMFAO “Party Rock Anthem”

4. Katy Perry “Firework”

3. ALL songs by or featuring Flo Rida

2. Waka Flocka Flame “No Hands”


And the #1 song that not only needs to not be played anymore in 2012, let alone anymore period is….


1. Benny Benassi Feat. Gary Go “Cinema” (Skrillex Remix)


Now I’m sure some of you Top 40 DJs, if not most of you, are going to deny that these aren’t in your playlist anymore and to that I say bullshit. I know you want everyone to hear the latest Porter Robinson remix or your Moombahton transition, but most of the time people just don’t know what it is and you have to dig in your Sell Out bag and play one of the songs above to get your dancefloor back (sadly).


What songs do you feel should be nixed starting 2012? Comment and let us know!

Well the remix that everyone has been waiting for since the live footage of him playing it came out has finally arrived.

 

Or has it? After careful dissection by myself and @swaglipple, this version is either heavily changed by the former From First To Last frontman since the live videos have come out, or this is just a fake put out by someone with very similar presets.

 

If you watch the video in the top right corner (or the one below) you will notice subtle differences in the version that has leaked today and the version that is played live. For one, the build-up at the beginning in the video has the signature Skrillex high-pitch vocals, where as the version that leaked, just has the sample from the original Levels. Second, the sample used before the big drop is completely different in the leaked version that in the one in the videos. Third, in the leaked version it has a drop-out with the “Get a Good Feeling” build-up and the videos do not.

 

 

Now could this just be a very early version that leaked today that had yet to get all the bells and whistles that the video has? Possibly. Could Skrillex have changed his mind on a lot of the things that we are saying is missing? He could have but I really find it highly unlikely, especially because the two videos take place in two different venues and the tracks plays out almost identically. Is this just an extremely elaborate impostor? It very well could be.

 
I’m not believing anything until I hear it on this…

Orlando, it has finally happened. It’s not Steve Aoki, it’s definitely not Hyper Crush. No, THE heir to DJ AMs throne is coming to Orlando, DJ A-Trak.


To say that I am excited about this is a complete understatement. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this guy is going to come here and seriously put on a clinic. Just a few months after older brother Dave-1 of Chromeo brought his Fancy Footwork to The Beacham, little brother is coming to shut it down and show all you ableton DJs what it’s all about. From his Fools Gold Radio series, to the perfect-in-every-way Dirty South Dance mixtapes, this is one bad ass Jew on the decks. Did I mention he was a DMC champion at age 16?

(He’s not 16 here but still just insane)


November 29th, skip your usual Tuesday night party and come watch and listen to the best DJ in the world.

araabMUZIK, the producer behind the Cam’ron banger “Get It In Ohio” and most of his Crime Pays album, released an electro-ish mix about 2 months ago entitled Electronic Dream and it is fucking fire. It is the perfect blend of hard hip hop beats meets classy electro synths with a touch of female vocals in there. The kid is an absolute monster on an MPC and is actually on tour right now performing tracks live. Here is a little number he did in Paris, France that is just insane.





Electronic Dream is out now, I suggest you get it and play it from front to back.

…fulla fried fishes!”


My boy @Sahina407 posted this and I had to repost cause you know I have an infatuation with my girl @KREAYSHAWN. It’s a parody of her oh-so-slept-on banger “Gucci Gucci” entitled “Fishy Fishy” by @KREAYFISH. Shit is literally shot almost frame-for-frame from the original video and is hilarious.

This little gem of a note was left in the DJ booth at Mr. Sisters by one of the tech guys, Troy. It is so incredible that I had to take a picture of it and post it to the book of faces.


Much to my chagrin, my boy @swaglipple let me know a couple days later that there is an entire site dedicated to notes either left in the DJ booth or given to the DJ for requests. I’m not much of a tumblr guy, I still don’t really know what to make of it, but this one is just too good not to follow.


No Breasts, No Requests is the site I am talking about and if you have ever worked in a club, especially as a DJ or Tech guy, you HAVE to check this site out. It actually features pictures from another Orlando spot, Cleos, and the picture they use is just dead-on as far as what not to ask a DJ. You can also submit photos to the site for which I will be doing for the photo above. Here are a few more examples of awesomeness just incase you are still skeptical.














That last one is seriously so fucking great.

The best DJ alive (yeah I said it), the man, the champ, Mr. Fool’s Gold, DJ A-Trak, now blesses Sirius XM for one hour every month and it is tremendous. Highly suggest you download either the mix or the Soundcloud app on your phone and give this a full listen.

…Ain’t that where the Heat play? Niggas hate ballas these days / Ain’t that like Lebron James? Ain’t that just like D. Wade?”


In case you have been living under a rock for the past week, Kanye West & Jay-Z released their highly anticipated joint-album, Watch The Throne, last Tuesday. This was one of the first hip-hop albums in a loooong time to not suffer a leak and thats because these Titans of the industry decided to release it digitally and not physically (at least at first), therefore never letting it get in the hands of any third-party to where it could spring a leak. Clever girl.


After having a week to listen and take the album in, it is safe to say that this is a very strong release. You can really tell the difference between artists that are in the same studio doing tracks together as opposed to just emailing verses back-and-forth *cough* DJ Khaled *cough*. Not a single part of this album was done without both Kanye and Jay together.


Stand-out absolute bangers include: Niggas In Paris, Gotta Have It, Who Gon’ Stop Me. The first one and the last one I mentioned feature that train that everyone and I mean EVERYONE is jumping on, so much that the shit could be close to derailing: dubstep. Who Gon’ Stop Me actually samples one of the heavyweights of the genre, Flux Pavilion. Leave it to Kanye & Jay to use dubstep in a should I say, classy way. Not too much, but just enough to where its not monotonous.


With production from RZA, The Neptunes, Kanye West himself, his latest protegé Hit-Boy, NO ID, Swizz Beatz, Lex Luger & Pete Rock, the beats do not disappoint. Obviously very sample heavy but still a very fresh sound to an extremely stale rap scene.


So should you buy it, download it, steal it? Do whatever you feel is right but one things for sure: listen to it front to back.


“So I ball so hard muhfuckas wanna fine me / But first niggas gotta find me / What’s 50 grand to a muhfucka like me / Can you please remind me? / This shit crazy / Ya’ll don’t know that don’t shit phase me / The Nets could go 0-82 and I look at you like this sh*t gravy”


That shit crae.

It has been over a year since I have released an official mix! I collaborated with my good friend DJ Spillz about six months ago to release “The Dirty House” hotel, but have not has a solo mix since “Operating Tables”. I decided to go a different route this time by releasing a mix recorded LIVE in the club. I thought this would be a good way to showcase how I spin in a packed venue, so if you haven’t heard me spin live then download this mix now! I incorporate a little bit of everything in this one, house bangers, electro, moombahton, and of course some dubstep.

Here it is, (you can download directly from soundcloud).

Back like cooked crack (aye!), it’s 20 Questions. This week we are talking to the DJ that has the best shoe selection in Orlando, DJ A-Rock.


A-Rock, like our last participant, DJ Rincon, is not only DJing in Downtown Orlando, but he has taken his show on the road with traveling shows, that being the Dew Tour.


Whether its the beginning of the month at Vain, scaring people at Blue Martini on Mondays with Dubstep (or opening for Lil’ Jon, no big deal), playing a more chill vibe at Ember on Tuesdays, or his creme de la creme gig at Rok Room on the weekends, to say that he keeps himself busy is an understatement. A-Rock is also one of the DJs in Orlando keeping scratch techniques/routines in his set and for that, like Tosh, we thank you.




1. Weapons of choice? (Equipment, mixer, software)
Technic 1200′s, Rane TTM-57, Pioneer 800, Serato.


2. Favorite genre to spin?
All of them! No but seriously, I like all types of music. I try and keep it as diverse as possible. Keeps it fun.


3. Favorite producer?
Toss up between Tensnake and Louis La Roche.


4. What are you listening to in your car?
Carte Blanche – White Man On The Moon


5. Banger of Summer 2011?
Let’s face it, Give Me Everything – Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo, Nayer & Afrojack is a huge. (Agreed.) Dr. Gonzo Anthem – Crookers is ridiculous.


6. Most slept on song of 2011?
Man, music comes out lightning quick. And there’s nothing wrong with that, but some songs don’t even get a chance. So I’d say two songs that if people don’t know about, should check… ION – D.I.M. and TAI and Eargasm – Black Raw.


7. Who influenced you early in your career?
I got started because I saw an Incubus show back when I was 16, and watching Kid Kilmore manipulate samples into the live band sets was amazing to me. A.M. 100%. Z-Trip. X-Ecutioners. A-Trak. KLEVER. Enferno. Magic Mike. DJ NOVA.


8. Song you hate getting requests for?
“Do you have that birthday song?” “Can you play something I can dance to?”


9. Where was your first weekly?
Red Coconut Club @ Citywalk.


10. Where can we find you now?
In my studio answering these questions. Haha. Ember on Tuesdays & Fridays, 1st Thursdays @ VAiN, Blue Martini Mondays, & Rok Room. Nothing against my residencies, but Rok Room Sundays is by far my favorite party. I get to play WHATEVER I want. It’s a great vibe, and the energy is always on point. I’m also out on the 2011 Dew Tour this summer. I’m also starting to play outside of Orlando a lot more so it’s been nice.




Switch!




You are an avid sneaker freak, so lets find out what kicks make the man…


11. Favorite pair if you had to choose?
MAN, I can only pick one??? Well I can’t so I’ll provide a pic of my top 5…

Dunk Haze: These mean A LOT to me. Last picture most people saw of A.M. he was throwing out the first pitch at a Mets game in New York. I came across these at the Dunk XChange earlier this year, and got a great deal on them.
Jordan III Black Cement: Quite possibly the greatest sneaker of all time
Bottom Row:
Nike Air Trainer III from DJ AM’s Collection
Nike Air Yeezy
Nike Dunk Goldenrod : I have 3 pairs. Such a great, clean, colorway.


12. Go-to pair that you’re rocking right now?
Nike Dunk Low Splatter.



13. Upcoming release you are looking forward to?
SB has been on point with some of their releases this year, from the Liberties to the Space Jams. Jordan has killed it with the Retro III releases and I’ve been lucky enough to cop em all, so I’m looking forward to the Black Cements releasing later this year.


14. Most paid for a single pair and which ones?
I had to cop my Black Cement III’s off EBAY, so I paid a lil bit for em. Luckily I received the Yeezy’s as a gift or else that would have cost some mint.


15. High tops or Low Tops?
Depends on the day, weather, fit, etc.


You can get with this, or you can get with that….


16. iPhone or Android?
iPhone allllll dayyyy. Instagram YUH!


17. Regular or V-Neck?
V-Neck, but I collect Vintage T’s so I have A LOT OF LOVE for the crew neck. LOL


18. Skinny Jeans or Baggy?
Baggy jeans just don’t look right.


19. Fitted or Snapback?
Snapbacks are in right now, but a fitted cap is timeless.


20. Any final words?
Thank You to Last Nights Hype for including me in “20 Questions”. I appreciate it 100%. If anyone wants, stay up with me on twitter @DJ_AROCK or Like http://www.facebook.com/DJAROCK1




No, thank YOU DJ A-Rock for being another great addition to 20 Questions, our weekly feature on DJs, photographers, and anyone else is Orlando making their own lane for themselves. Be sure to check out all our past entries in 20 Questions with Kid Judah, DJ Y-Not?, and DJ Rincon.
