MAKJ has an excellent track record on DJcity. The majority of his releases have made the daily Hot Box chart, many of which have also appeared on the monthly Top 50.

His latest offering, a throwback-style remix of Joan Jett’s 1982 anthem, “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” is likely to do the same. The track features moombahton and twerk influences and a prominent Jay-Z sample.

“I love the idea of blending genres,” MAK tells us. “I’ve always done it in my sets, and I wanted to make something I could play live, hence the idea of mixing Joan Jett with Jay-Z. They say opposites attract.”

Preview the remix below and download it exclusively on DJcity.

Review: Scratch Toys Sound Plate for Numark PT01 Scratch Portable Turntable

Tips and Tricks

Mojaxx has returned with another portablism review, this time looking at the Scratch Toys Sound Plate for the Numark PT01 Scratch.

The easy-to-install upgrade adds Bluetooth support, a micro SD port, and an FM tuner to the leading portable turntable on the market. “It transforms the Numark PT01 Scratch into a totally different device,” Mojaxx says. “I absolutely love this product.”

He also looks at DC 5V to DC 12V converter cables, which enable DJs to run their PT01 off of a UBS power bank.
