Ministry of Sound still going – launching Ibiza-themed blog, social network and live music portal
Although dance music has turned from something good into a series of abysmal high-pitched reworkings of old songs sung by horrendous blonde slappers, nightclub “lifestyle” chain Ministry of Sound is still going. We really thought it had closed in about 1998.
But not only is MoS still going, it’s expanding – opening up a new web presence based entirely around the goings on and party scene of Ibiza. It is, of course, a social network, offering live TV presented by attractive ladies, blogging…

Tonium launches Pacemaker DJ mix portal
Sorry, the elusive Pacemaker portable DJ gadget isn’t here yet, but an online DJ portal is. Coupled with a free PC/Mac music / mixing editor, the web site allows you to create your own mixes and share them with the community.

Tonium taking reservations for Pacemaker DJ mixer, available from next month
Back in May last year, I may’ve rashly described the Pacemaker Pilot DJ mixer as being ‘perfect for twatty Nathan Barley types’, due to its similarity to the TV character’s Wasp T12 Speechtool device.

So what exactly is it? I’m glad you asked. Basically…

Now DJs are getting their own social network – MixRevolution
I’ve had a new idea for a social network. It’s a social network where all the administrators of social networks can come together. It can be called NetNet. NetNet 2.0.
On NetNet 2.0 social networkers can discuss social networking issues, in a safe, understanding, socially networked environment, adding each…
Video: the Yamaha Tenori-On music sequencer in action
Yesterday night, Yamaha held the world launch of its Tenori-On music sequencer, so despite the tube strike, I schlepped into Soho to hipster-joint Vinyl Records to see what the fuss was about. Tenori-On designer Toshio Iwai was demonstrating the device, as you can see from the video below.
