Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. This is 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Studio No.1. This will be released May 10th (the day after Mother’s day–what’s up Ma Dukes?). Pre-order is available now. The J Dilla tracks consist of three previously unreleased instrumentals selected by J.Rocc from the Dilla archives – “Safety Dance”, “Sycamore”, “Bars & Twists” – and three unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla’s production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, each remastered by Elysian Masters who mixed and mastered J Dilla’s Donuts, The Shining and Ruff Draft albums.

Review: M-Audio’s Torq Mixlab
September 4, 2008
Many of you want to get started with digital DJing but can’t afford the Serato price tag. A few years ago M-Audio dropped the Torq Conectiv to answer those prayers. Now they have an even cheaper version for the novice DJ called Mixlab. My friends at The Urban Daily.com took a peak at the package, which retails for about $130, to see if it’s worth your money.
