Been gone for a few weeks, now we’re back with the jump off! In this case, the jump off is the Topic of The Week. Figured we’d give you guys/girls one homework assignment at a time, and now that Remi voting is over, it’s Topic time once again.
In this week’s topic, we wanna know which is the worse of two evils. The auto sync button has been the subject of many facebook posts and sparked tons of comments. But not many people ever mention the danger of segways and transitions. (For the record, we are talking about song to song transitions that connect two songs.) With out getting into it too much right now, we’re curious to see which you think is worse, and poses the most damage to the “legit” djs of the world. Can’t wait to discuss this in next week’s Weekend Recap!
The Black Cards are new on the remix scene but not new to music. Made up of Fall Out Boys Pete Wentz with Spencer Peterson, this duo has changed their game plan from new band to professional remixers. You don’t often see successful musicians take on a new persona in this way, so it’ll be interesting to see what the future holds for the Black Cards. They’re certainly putting in work and coming out with dope tracks, including todays highlighted remix, Gym Class Heros ” Ass Back Home.” Check out this playable electro house rework.
