On Friday 28th January, Melonfarmer and myself were lucky enough to catch one of UK (if not the world) leading Drum n Bass DJ's Andy C with his partner in crime MC GQ. This duo have been touring Australia for 10 years, however, this was the first time they had been to Brisbane. Having seen our city ravaged by the floods only weeks earlier, people were in a mood to party and give at the same time, with $2.50 per person being donated to the cause.

Anyway, I've tried to capture the entire vibe of the night in this 19 minute video made from photos and video taken by myself and Melonfarmer. Enjoy!

A rather interesting review of Minecraft by Zero Punctuation aka Yahtzee, a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer with a sweet hat and a chip on his shoulder (apparently).

To me, Minecraft is one of those games where I just didn't take to it's graphic style nor it's open endedness. What do you think?

"Created by a bunch of guys from Barcelona, this iPad app currently only supports Serato Scratch Live (although they are promising to support Traktor in a future release) and works over a private wireless connection which means no additional software or cables are needed.

MiDi-to gives you control of practically every feature in SSL across three panels accessed from the top of the screen within the application."

Now in it's fifth year, Sikosis, N3B and Melonfarmer are back, bringing you the Top 20 Drum n Bass tracks from 2010. This year, we've got all the tunes available for streaming via Mixcloud.

Pioneer have taken their CDJ line and used that interface look 'n feel and created a midi controller for Traktor users. Check out this video by Spanish Techno legend Cristian Varela.

I have to say it's a very nice looking controller and they do something interesting by placing the laptop underneath the control, which gets it out of the way in a club scenario -- but then you've now lost the ability to search with the keyboard or use any of the keyboard shortcuts you have. Pioneer seem to believe that you can do everything with their controller.

In saying that, the DDJ-T1 looks like it's the first controller to give the Traktor S4 a run for it's money -- despite being $300-400 more.
