Dear TRAKTOR user,
TRAKTOR takes a major leap forward thanks to the free 1.2
update, cementing its position as the most advanced DJ
software on the market. Users of TRAKTOR PRO and TRAKTOR
SCRATCH PRO will get four new effects including a beat
slicer, as well as two more effect units – doubling the
existing capacity. All users of the new generation of
TRAKTOR will benefit from a significantly improved
Time-stretching and Keylock function, HID/display support
for selected controllers, a reduced memory footprint and a
whole bunch of small but important improvements.
The free download is recommended for all latest generation
TRAKTOR products – PRO, DUO & LE.

Writeup from top dance music blog Hot Biscuits:
“One of my favorite parties I have ever DJ’d was Charlotte, North Carolina’s Street Value. It was a ton of fun and no bullshit with kids dancing their asses off from the beginning to the end. One of the DJ’s I played with that night was Buckmaster. He’s probably 130 pounds soaking wet, 7 feet tall and drives crazier than a shit house rat. His background as a drummer in metal tinged hardcore band certainly shines through with his really great drum work, not to mention he knows how to make some pretty rad wobble bass.”

10:30-12:00 – Chris Watson
12:00-1:30 – BUCKMASTER!

Lil’ Beta – VEGA (Live Performance) Video 25th of July 2009
Jul 31st
What a great weekend we had last Saturday night in Birmingham, Alabama!
It wasn’t betafestival per se’, but it did give the city a taste of what’s to come once we secure a venue who is as forward thinking and ready for new and fresh ideas as the city’s patrons appear to be.
A huge hit at Lil’ Beta and a surprise to many (Yes, they are a band and not dj’s!) was the performance put on by the Austin, TX band VEGA. www.myspace.com/vegavisions
I’ve been championing them on the show for the last month and it was a real treat to see them live. They are a great group of musicians and as I have said before if they come to your city, do yourself a favor and go see them live.
Here’s a lil’ (pun get it) video I shot during their performance. Enjoy and spread the love!
