The Technics SL-1200 series has been at the leading edge of musical progression since it was first released in the 1970’s and has helped to shape the DJ industry more than any other product. Intertwined with just about every genera of groundbreaking dance music since its release, it’s safe to say the world of music would not have been the same without it. This article looks at its history, hey-day and demise.
We were recently rather excited to receive an email from Sony detailing the launch of their highly anticipated new MDR-V55 DJ Headphones. Once released, they will be available in a range of four stylish colours and will be just the thing for people that are looking to stand out from the crowd. Destined to become very popular amongst DJs as well as people that love to listen to music on-the-go, the MDR-V55s are going to be one of 2012’s must-haves for those of you that love music and like to be noticed.

Having recently interviewed several dance floor focused DJs and producers, I felt it was time we turned our attention to the deeper, darker side of underground music. For my next interview I am very pleased to be chatting to a man that is currently making quite a stir on London scene and whose name seems to be appearing on Fabric flyers almost every other week.

This week I feel very privileged to be interviewing one of Bristol’s most colourful production Duo’s. Jeryl Wilton and Dan Wilberforce or Cutline as they are better known formed back in 2010 and have not looked back since. With a string of high profile remixes for artists such as Danny Byrd & Netsky, The Cascades, J Majik & Wickaman, The Qemists, Mindflow and Roll Deep, Cutline have seen releases on Hospital Records, Infrared, Mosquito, Ninja Tune and Never Say Die. They have also released several of their own tracks on various different labels and have even found the time to manage the output of their own label Not Safe for Work.
This week it is my pleasure to be interviewing Steve Cook, one of the producers behind UK based Clouded Vision. With releases on their own Clouded Vision imprint, Tiga’s Turbo Recordings and Mute Records the Essex duo made up of Steve Cook & Matt Walsh have released a number of records that seem to defy the ‘labels’ attributed to modern music. In a world where music seems to be pigeon holed into one particular genre or movement, Clouded Vision seem to be looking toward perusing a slightly different and less formulated approach to their production. This alternate approach has seen them remix tracks for Moby, The Invisible and We Have Band to name just a few.
