In honor of the 25th anniversary of the first Macintosh (marked last Saturday on Jan 24),  Webdesignerdepot posted a brief history of the design of the legendary computer. Well, of Apple computers in general I guess — but who really remembers Apple before the Mac? (Ok, I do.) Even 25 years later that first Mac […]

Copyright Criminals is a full-length documentary investigating the breadth of the controversial culture of sampling — which is a complex issue to say the least. Sure, I want the Beastie Boys to be able to sample 1,387 records to create the sublime Paul’s Boutique (actually, better make that the Dust Bros), but I also think […]

Oh Snap! & Jen Lasher have teamed up for  a new mix, stream it below or download it HERE if you deem it worthy. I’m a sucker for breaks, so I’m feeling it —  a healthy mix of Florida booty, re-breaked classics and even some terror synths. (Although, what’s up with homie getting punched above? […]

We’ve been watching Squeak E. Clean DJ here in LA for about ever, but his teaming up with DJ Zegon as N.A.S.A. (North America South America) has been a quantum leap in their careers.
