Monster in collaboration with Disney Consumer Products connected to release a  “Tron: Legacy” movie-based audio dock,  and a pair of high-end headphones.


The headphones ($349.95) were created in collaboration with the music duo Daft Punk, who also produced the soundtrack for the new movie. They feature advanced studio driver design, extra-large over-ear drivers, advanced noise isolation technology and an LED light drive system (which is extremely cool).

The dock ($249.95) has a look that is inspired by the movie’s data disk and works with an iTunes app.  More information on these products can be found here.

DJ Kitsune has  dropped the second part to his newest series, as I am writing this, I’m listening to it.  I’m three songs in and loving it.  Unlike Part one, this one contains singers spanning over the last 30 years.  These are all songs that you could listen to in a lounge after work, or while at home making a meal for your loved one.  Good job once again DJ Kitsune, two down and two to go!

So this has been buzzing around the internet all week, and I finally decided to check it out today.  Apparently, GOOGLE TRANSLATE allows your computer to make sound similar to beatboxing.  I tried it, and IT WORKS, it’s completely cool for those of us who remember those days.  Here’s what you do:

1> Go to Google Translate
2> Set the translator to translate German to German
3> Copy + paste the following  bold text into the translate: bk bk pv zk pv pv zk pv zk kz zk pv pv kkkkkk pv zk pv zk zk pzk pzk pv zk pk zv pv zk bk bk bsch <—–this is my own creation.

You can make your own with the following guide:

zk = suspended cymbal
bschk = snare
pv = brush
bk = bass
tk = flam1
vk = roll tap
kt = flam2
kttp = flam tap
krp = hi hat tap
pv = short roll
th = better hi hat
thp, ds = instant rimshot

Go there, enjoy, have your fun, and remember the golden years of hip-hop.

So DJ KITSUNE has been promoting something coming via his Twitter and Facebook account, well he finally released what he was working on.  In his own words, he’s “been thinking about this for weeks now and when it was finally time to put everything together I was so busy with work and travelling that I couldn’t even announce it properly. Well, here it is anyway, and since this is only the beginning, there’s enough time to spread the word. And what am I actually talking about?   “1-2-3-4″ is a new mixtape series consisting of (obviously) four parts, dropping every sunday before christmas. Each part focuses on a different aspect of things I love about music and will contain hiphop, rnb, some soulful pop stuff – simply great music, at least in my playbooks. The songs are not necessarily singles but records that I think showcase the characteristics of each volume (e.g. the issue with the name “Rhymes” is obviously not so much about the beats, but about dope lyricism and strong songwriting)”.

I listened to Vol. 1 late last night and early this morning, it’s a good mixture of some artist I have on my radar and some I don’t, and this is the exact intention, GET FAMILIAR people.  DJ Kitsune is trying to broaden your horizons, expand your musical sensibilities.  I can’t wait to see what he has in store for 2, 3, and 4.  You can download it right HERE.

Check this video from B.O.B.  I heard this song on SHADE 45 earlier this and I’m just loving the energy that he brings in this song.  BEAST MODE should be the ANTHEM SONG for every one that puts full effort into what they do on a daily basis.

So I’ve been using this for a few months now and I really enjoy it.  It’s an APP that’s cross platform and really amazing, it allows me to communticate to virtually ANYONE located ANYWHERE in the world that has the app installed on their phone.  It’s called PINGCHAT! The features of this app are amazing, it works on ALL DEVICES (more coming), it’s ALWAYS ONLINE, PUSH NOTIFICATIONS, FULL MEDIA SUPPORT, and GROUP CHAT.  And another great feature not listed the site, you can add the PINGCHAT ID’s to your phone’s contact list, at least on my iPHONE 4 that’s what happens.

Check them out on FACEBOOK or TWITTER.  The developers are always ideas and features suggestions via these social networks.  Try it out and see if you like,  you can’t beat free.  Oh yea, don’t forget to ADD ME: DJMADLOGIC is my ID.
