DJ ND Flips the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ‘Can’t Stop’


 
The majority of turntablist routines we come across use hip-hop tracks or classic breaks. DJ ND’s new video is different though, as the Belgian DJ takes on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2002 song, “Can’t Stop.” To be exact, the version used is VM’s edit of Love and Light’s remix.
 
For those that are wondering, ND works with a pair of Reloop RP-8000 turntables and a Rane Sixty-Two mixer in the video.

Four Hours of Audio Is Uploaded to Mixcloud Every Minute

Mixcloud
 
Nearly four hours of content gets uploaded to Mixcloud every minute, the company says. The statistic was revealed today in a blog post celebrating its fifth anniversary.
 
Mixcloud also revealed that over six million shows have been uploaded by 650,000 DJs, radio presenters and curators since its launch. A record 200,000 were uploaded in the last month alone, with each averaging 45 minutes.
 
Up until recently, SoundCloud was the preferred platform for DJs to upload mixes to. However, the company’s tightening of copyright enforcement in recent months has resulted in many DJs moving to similar services such as Mixcloud, iTunes Podcasts and PodOmatic.
 
In August, Mixcloud introduced Pro accounts that provide content creators with advanced analytics, scheduled uploads, profile customization, and more. DJcity readers can get three months of free service with the promo code: DJCITYFREETRIAL (monthly plan only).
 
Be sure to follow DJcity on Mixcloud for weekly mixes every Tuesday and Friday.

Listen to Chris Karns’ SeratoCast Mix

The legendary DJ QBert once praised Chris Karns as his “favorite DJ in the world right now.” We don’t know Q’s justification, but Karns’ ability to rock parties and go head-to-head with the world’s best turntablists likely has something to do with it. In addition to serving as Yelawolf’s tour DJ, the Colorado native has won a DMC World Championship, multiple Red Bull Thre3style battles, and was a finalist in VH1’s “Master of the Mix” competition.
 
Adding to his already impressive resume, Karns has delivered an hour-long mix for Serato that exemplifies his versatile approach to DJing. The open-format session includes both new and classic tracks, along with creative blends and of course, skilled turntablism.

Nicki Minaj
 
Nicki Minaj’s The Pinkprint album dropped today, and one of the project’s standout tracks is a collaboration with her labelmates Drake and Lil Wayne titled, “Truffle Butter.” Some listeners might recognize the beat, along with Drizzy and Wayne’s verses, as they were previously featured on Mally Mall’s “Whatcha Say.”

It’s also been pointed out that “Truffle Butter” contains a sample of UK house star Maya Jane Coles, which sparked a backlash among some of her fans. She posted the following message on her Facebook page in response:
 
“It’s interesting to see all of the hateful comments about the Nicki Minaj track. As a producer that only makes music that I love, for me, it’s only an honor to have people from completely different scenes wanting to sample one of my productions. I NEVER compromise my own music. If I didn’t like it, why would I bother making it. If someone else likes what I have done and wants to sample it and use it in their own style then for me that is a huge compliment. just saying. PLUS also, why do people keep talking about money?? Record sales don’t make money anymore!!! This has nothing to do with money, I came from a hip hop background, that’s what got me into music in the first place. It’s so weird to have to explain myself about something I’ve always loved doing.”

Hakkasan Group is set to acquire a majority stake in Light Group, the operator of Las Vegas nightclubs including Light and 1 Oak, according to sources that spoke with Forbes.
 
“If Hakkasan is able to complete its deal for Light, the hospitality firm may own three of the largest nightclubs by the time of Omnia’s opening next year,” Forbes writes. “While the final purchase price is unclear, those familiar with the negotiations suggested that the deal could be valued at more than $40 million in cash and debt, with Hakkasan taking control of about 20 restaurants and clubs in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami.”
 
Representatives at Hakkasan Group and Light Group declined to speak with Forbes.
 
In October, Hakkasan announced plans to launch Omnia in the former Pure Nightclub space at Caesars Palace. The 75,000-square foot club is expected to open in spring 2015.
 
Its flagship Vegas club, which launched in 2013, boasts a lineup of superstar DJs including Calvin Harris, Hardwell, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, and Tiesto.
