As one of the most hyped duos in electronic music it’s only natural that people want to know the tools of Justice’s trade, perhaps in an effort to emulate their success. When first starting out, budding producers will often dip their toes into the water with some of the more rudimentary software packages around, like Fruity Loops, Reason, or Mac’s popular GarageBand program.

In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Justice let everyone in on a little secret; they produce all their music, including their critically acclaimed 2007 debut album †, on GarageBand. “It’s amazing,” Xavier de Rosnay said. “A lot of people think it’s bullshit when we say we use GarageBand, but it’s actually an amazing tool.” [inthemix]

Seeing as Oakie has signed up to do Kiss Does Ibiza shows next week (8, 9 and 10 August) he’s let a Kiss film crew come round his LA apartment and film him showing you around his studio.

Think of it as a Cribs for clubbers. Anyway, here’s the tour of Oakie’s studio.

/////////// Tired of the same old charts by John Digweed? Ever feel the dj chart list was based on sponsor ship and not true love for the track? Forget the other DJ’s create your own unique dj chart list at juno.co.uk read more…

Now, pioneering dance music web stores Juno Records (http://www.juno.co.uk) and Juno Download (http://www.junodownload.com) have introduced a unique, user-generated system for bringing DJ charts into the web 2.0 age. A new feature on Juno’s web sites allows DJs to build charts instantly, using a one-click system that allows access to every available new dance release. The DJ can then publish his chart and distribute it by e-mail, link them to their Myspace or Facebook page, or tag them on bookmark sites like Delicious, Digg, StumbleUpon and Reddit.

The new system has already proved popular, with charts created by big-name DJs like Jerome Sydenham, Mark Farina, Rolando, Dan Curtin and Rui Da Silva. But unlike traditional DJ charts features, access isn’t limited to superstar DJs – any user can create a chart. Some of the most interesting charts have come from unknown DJs picking eclectic selections of lesser-known gems that would often go un-noticed. [undergroundvibez]

HARD Hunted Mansion / Friday 10.31.2008 / Halloween Party / Los Angeles

Soulwax / Simian Mobile Disco / Deadmau5 / Boys Noize / Crystal Castles / Crookers / Steve Aoki / and more…

WOW! Imagine if the people of HARD could lure Daft Punk and Justice for this show! I would give my left nut but lucky I don’t have too. I creamed my pants when I found this email in my SPAM box of all places!

Tickets are $45 bucks but if the talent don’t call in sick like ‘Kid Sister’ at the last event then this is well worth the buck. Good Music, Halloween, and fucken Electro, bloghouse or whatever you want to call it!

Danley Sound Labs has unleashed the Matterhorn Subwoofer to the US military, which they claim is the world’s biggest to date. It repurposes a 20 x 8 x 8 foot shipping container as its enclosure and requires 40,000 watts of power.

The military uses these types of speakers to simulate battlefield action, but with the Matterhorn’s specs, they appear to be training for Thermonuclear War. [FutureMusic]

JuJuBeats 2008 The Music and Arts Festival
August 16th 2008

Is it the return of JuJuBeats? The popular outside event became defunct a few years back after a fatal accident with party goers and a pre-bust by officials who stopped the event.

So far the line-up is respectable, but I’d except a bit more for the ‘return’ of JuJuBeats. On the bill now is;

dj Dan . dj Sneak . Donald Glaude . Gene Farris . Mars . Mystre . jeno & Garth . Thrillseekers . Wally Callerio
