Not because they want to switch, but so they can do a gig or two playing just off USB drives on CDJs. On the new episode of Beatsource Tech, we look at Mojaxx‘s favorite tool for doing that job (and a lot more besides): DJ Conversion Utility.

Over To You: How Should DJs End A Night?

Trayze Remixes Bubba Sparxxx’s ‘Ms. New Booty’: DJcity Premiere

Washington, DC-based DJ/producer Trayze has flipped Bubba Sparxxx‘s 2005 hit, “Ms. New Booty” featuring Ying Yang Twins and Mr. Collipark. The track peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Bubba his highest-charting single to date on that chart.

Regarding the remix, Trayze says, “the original Mr. Collipark production slaps, but the song didn’t have a melody or bass, and I felt the harder hitting 808s and kicks would help freshen up the song. It’s ready for summer dance floors now!”

Download Trayze’s “Ms. New Booty” remix exclusively on DJcity here.
