Improve Your Laptop’s Performance by Cleaning Its Fan

Laptop fan

Mojaxx recently noticed that his MacBook Pro wasn’t performing as well as it used to. His system was glitchy and running very hot. He knew it was running too hot because he has a free app called SMCFanControl, which, along with letting you adjust your fan speed, shows the temperature of your laptop.

Suspecting that his fan might be clogged, Mo opened up his laptop and cleaned it out. The trick worked: Mo’s system was running smoothly again at a normal temperature.

Watch him go through the process on this week’s Tips and Tricks.

Jesse And The Wolf Drops ‘Selecta’ Video Feat. Ghostface Killah, Juelz Santana, and Telli, Plus Mix for ‘Diplo and Friends’

Selecta

Jesse And The Wolf, a.k.a. Jesse Marco, has shared the video for his electronic-influenced hip-hop single “Selecta” featuring Ghostface Killah, Juelz Santana, and Brooklyn rapper Telli. Released on Fool’s Gold Records, the track has received support from the likes of A-Trak, GTA, and The Knocks.

Marco is a veteran DJ/producer from New York City who was mentored by the late DJ AM. He has held residencies at some of the biggest clubs in the country and has performed at celebrity parties for the likes of JAY-Z and Spike Lee. He started his Jesse And The Wolf project in January as a new creative outlet.

In the visual, Marco pays homage to the Notorious B.I.G.‘s “Sky’s The Limit” video. It shows kid versions of Juelz and Ghostface playing make-believe in the streets of New York.

Jesse And The Wolf also dropped a mix for BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Diplo and Friends show on Saturday night. His one-hour set consists of a variety of electronic music genres, along with plenty of mashups and remixes. It also includes several unreleased originals.

Tips for Shooting DJ Routines: Clutch DJ Tips

Clutch DJ Tips

Before the internet, DJs built their following by rocking shows, performing on radio, and releasing music. Social media has obviously changed that, and now producing online content is crucial in growing your brand.

Video routines are one of the most effective types of content for a DJ. But like anything, execution is key. If your video isn’t shot or edited well, your investment won’t pay off, and you’ll have wasted time and money.

On the second episode of DJcityTV’s Clutch DJ Tips, Eyecon shares some advice for shooting engaging videos. Included are tips from DJcity’s Director of Digital Marketing Anthony Polis and National Director Styles Davis.
