I’ve been a DJ for as long as my professional career, so it comes as no surprise to some people that I download most of my music purchases (around 80%) from Beatport, not iTunes or any other large-scale online music store. Beatport on the other hand caters to the DJ market. I was an early adapter of the now popular Traktor DJ software, which stemmed from selling my turntables and having nothing to play my records on, so MP3′s were the next best bet since I’m on a computer for most of the day. I’ve been using Beatport since it was launched in 2004, just before I moved to Boston. The reason being, initially, because I dabble a lot in the Deep House and Techno genres, at the time iTunes didn’t carry much, if not any, of the specific artists and labels I was looking for in a digital format. And it’s been that way ever since, though the last few years have been much better, only because Apple has one of the biggest market shares in music sales now, and the artists in these somewhat obscure genres have obviously seen the benefit of the iTunes platform to sell their music.

Since upgrading to an iPhone–yes, this is my first one believe it or not! I have to say I’m very impressed that it’s been smooth sailing for me, as far as no antenna issues, blurry yellow screens etc. I’m really impressed by the quality of the camera, and, compared to my Panasonic Lumix, I’ll argue that the quality of the photos on the iPhone 4 are better than my digital camera. Less noise, sharper images and much better color. I’ve been having a great time with having a camera with me on the go always now, with a few of the photographic apps that are available in the app store to accompany me. I think my favorite right now, is Hipstamatic. It is basically a toy camera app, though the quality of the photo’s are better than I anticipated. The effects, or filters that are applied to the photographs are almost an exact match to the real deal. I thought I’d share a few of the images from the last month. Read More >

Did anyone rush out to grab an iPhone 4 this week? Many, many of you did, and the same day reports were flying in of multiple problems that were experienced either through using the phone or just the overall manufacturing that seemed ‘shoddy’ to some users. Read More >
