BENNY BLANCO® : BLANCODISCO

Just back from the Polls at F.I.T.

Wife and child joined. The wait wasn’t too bad here at 7:15 am.
Vibe was mellow and chill.

Go Do It if you haven’t yet.

Second Part of Political By Nature released last week, I just hadn’t gotten around to posting about it here for you search engine bots.

Wanted to test the the nifty flash audio player plug-in for word press.
Here’s a track I made at the end of 2007 and finished up early early 2008.

Street Beats
It’s a funky deep tune with dark mysterious bells, deep house chord progressions and then it gets all Carl Craig style at the end… just wait for it.

Thanks to Mike Walsh for pointing this out on the TNL mailing list.

The mix flows quite well in this quick 49 minute mix session.
Unbelievable that all of the above fits in 49 minutes.

I’m sure for most of my readers, this doesn’t matter, but it was exciting news for me today. Native Instruments will be releasing their next gen DJ Software, Traktor Scratch Pro on Nov.1st. Highlights include a boatload of new and really really cool fx, new GUI/Interface Design, Cover Flick (cover flow) to show artwork (Finally!) and auto beat gridding on import (see how good it really is).

My big gripe is the dropped support on initial release of the Native Mix Recorder. This is the functionality I use to record my Podcasts. It will be incorporated at some point, but just not on initial release. Shame.

Check out all the vids and stuff they made with Hawtin & Grandmaster flash and check out the warez, here:

I made the move/switch to word press. It was time to update. I’ll be making some more tweaks in the following weeks/months.. and get a reference to my old flash site in place in here somewhere.
