Tech Tuesday # 3 - ETY Plugs

Here's the important thing -- All the gear we invest in, will go to waste if we do not protect our ears!! I recently purchased 2 pairs of the ETY Plugs earplugs (from Etymotic Research) and I could not be more satisfied. Unlike generic foamy earplugs from your local pharmacy, these plugs are committed to reducing sound evenly (-20db!!!!) across the frequency range without changing the clarity of the music. For a low price of $12.95, you can prevent a lifetime of damage.. you know, you brush your teeth before bed, you put your earplugs in before dj set.. common sense!!

Party Guy Records Remix Competition

We're hosting a remix contest!!! But you need to visit our fine friends over at Hush House to get all the details. 

Tech Tuesday #2 - Serato Video-SL


The fine folks at Serato have quietly released a video plug-in for Serato. What this plug-in does, is essentially allow the user to become a VJ. Users are able to synch music videos up to songs and have total manipulation of the videos through a series of effects. The program is free to demo, but will run you around $200 for the complete unlocked version. Check out the video demo after the break.

Tech Tuesday #1 - Pioneer DJM-T1

We're going to be implementing a new section to our blog, Tech Tuesday. We'll be posting blurbs about exciting new technology in the DJ world. This week, we are highlighting the Pioneer DJM-T1. The mixer is designed specially for Traktor 2 -- It is a complete plug-&-play solution as it is a hybrid mixer, a controller, and audio interface all in the same unit. It has dedicated midi controls for sample decks and effects. The built-in USB soundcard enables the mixer to connect straight to a computer via USB. It will be out on the market in July. Check out a video preview below:

Soundcloud Wednesday #7



Week number 7 for us and the tunes keep getting hotter. This week we have hot tunes from LV, Joy Orbison, Benjamin Damage, and more after the break.


Wyllys and the New York Hustler Ensemble

Of course we are fans of all things in the low-end sub bass realm, but let this stand as a public service announcement --- we love the funk! At heart, like a lot of people, we encompass disco funk snobbery to the fullest. We'd like to introduce you to one of our current favorites, Wyllys and the New York Hustler Ensemble. Wyllys is the man on the turntables and his NY Hustler Ensemble entails a funky horn section made up of members of the infamous Trey Anastasio Band. Be sure to check them when they come to NYC next Friday May 13th.

Secret Mix Series 003: Sines


Our third installment of the Secret Mix Series comes from the brilliant Sines, based out of Houston, Texas. When talking about all things experimental and future bass, this duo frequently comes into conversation as stateside innovators. Keep your eyes opened, as Party Guy Records will be releasing a Sines remix on the forthcoming "Move It" EP from Sleepyhead
