Vestax VCI 300

By admin | Published: October 22, 2008
I’ve been ignoring many of these digital dj interfaces up until now.

I recently sold my M-Audio Torq system since it didn’t work as consistently as I wanted; anytime I wanted to use it I spent way too much time fiddling with it. I also had trouble playing gigs with it since everyone else uses Serato and it’s not a good idea to keep switching boxes and cables.

So why do I want this? I like the idea that I can bring this with my laptop, all in a small backpack, and I can just plug it into a line out on the mixer. This means I’ll have two digital decks with midi-control and then I can still play using my record bag that I always bring.

The best of all worlds I always say…

Top Google /Yahoo Rankings

By admin | Published: October 13, 2008

Just for kicks today I searched where I’m at on Google.

These results would have been better in the old days when people might have searched online for a specific type of dj. Now they just search for music genres and click on names they recognize.

  • Number 1 for downtempo mixes san diego
  • Number 3 in San Diego for downtempo dj san diego just under properlly chilled (terrestrial radio station 94.9)
  • Number 94 under Google for only downtempo dj – that’s worldwide!
  • Number 3 for deep house dj san diego
  • Number 7 for deep house dj los angeles
  • and finally number 210 under deep house dj which included everybody in the world.

and on Yahoo

Number 1 downtempo mixes san diego
Number 19 for deep house dj los angeles
Number 19 for deep house dj san diego
Number 7 downtempo dj san diego
Number 8 downtempo dj los angeles

Not bad. If you’re reading this and want some help designing your website and with getting rankings like these hit me up. I’ll give you a good deal.
