Hello boys and girls, CCN ("Coupe ça net", that we can translate as "Cut it up web") is the same concept as Cut it up fresh (CCF in french), but on the web, judging by the whole scratch-web-community. There will be 8 CCN, and each winner will be selected for the next CCF, taking place in the real life (like CCF1, 2 and 3).
The prices are NUMARK PRO SMX (Exclusif New mixer!), ORTOFON PACKAGE & Mystery BREAKbeat.
Send a 1 minute freestyle (audio or video via youtube, dailymotion, ... with title Contest CCN on hand-control.com + your dj name) before January 10 at coupecanet@hand-control.com

Well here's a cool little newsworthy info for all "scratch-nerd-gamers".
Game publisher Capcom is releasing "Street Fighter II HD Remix" on the Playstation Network and Xbox live arcade.
But to promote this Capcom is also releasing a couple of street fighter themed tracks made by a bunch if different arists, including DJ Qbert.
These tracks will be released on the Playstation Network for free, but you can preview them on Capcom SSIIHD mysapce page.
As a gamer, I just have to say AWESOME!
No, DJBattle.net has not gone politic. However, DJ Z-trip just announced his fundraising campaign mix for Obama, "The Party for Change", and Z-trip is a bloody good DJ...
...so there you go. Decide for yourself if you want to download it or not. It's free and available as a 85MB mp3 file from Z-trips website http://djztrip.com/downloads.html
And if you didn't know, he has tons of other mixes for free there too.
Well, besides all of you members that have been keeping the interactive part of the site going (Forum, gallery and so on) the site has been running a bit dry lately which I'm probably the one to blame for... but anyway that's not the point of this post.
Today on the 10th of September, Djbattle.net (and it's previous versions, djbattle.cjb.net, come.to/djbattle anyone?) is turning 10 years!
Even I didn't se that comming when I took my first nervous steps in a crappy program called "Frontpage" all those years ago!
On a day like this I wish I had more time (and motivation) to keep the site going like in the good ol' days... I don't think that will happen though, unfortunately.
Well, not that I think anyone here would find this useful, it's still pretty... umm... strange (if it's real). With some help from a video camera and the Traktor Scratch software DJ MoCAP can draw his own dj interface on a piece if paper.
Check put the video after the jump.
Read more...The 4 Brothers Beats blog is launching a Audio-logo competition (Or a jingle competition if you will) to help prevent the massive link stealing the site has been suffering.
4BB brings you the original and rare beats that most people don't even know where to begin looking for. To help them get the credit for their work they are starting this jingle competition...
"Yes, peeps...4BB needs your help! After some discussions we've decided to create our very own 4BB audio logotype! You might ask yourself "Why?"...well, one of the reasons is that this could help minimize the link thefts that we've been experiencing lately (we'll get to that in a bit) another reason is that it actually would be kinda cool to do some sonic branding!"

Preformance & interview with Ill Insanity on myspace tv
This summer we continue our quest to expose the art of DJing/Turntablism to a new generation! Our most recent show at Wheelz of Steel Weekend in Cleveland, Ohio was a lot fun. For those that came out to show their support to us, DJ Q-bert and the rest of the acts that shared their talents... THANK YOU!
If you haven't had the opportunity to watch us live or get to know what we're about, please check out the videos below...

A little promotion from the Coulisse Crew:
After all bullshit that swedish hiphop is dead,wax is not selling no more etc Coulisse Records is back in the game. Swedish online recordstore focused on finest hiphop on wax.
Picked up from the webbsite(in swedish):
"Efter ett par månader av vinylsvält är vi igång igen. Nya ägare som satsar allt krut på vinyl. Vinylrelaterad design/inredningsdetaljer, vinylrelaterad streetart, samt ekologiska T-shirts och streetwear för vinylfantasten.Tyngdpunkten ligger nu på begagnad originalpressvinyl (mest USA) av sällsynta släpp samt svensk hiphop."
Right now Coulisse Records is open only for swedish customers but we are working on english version of our webbsite and planing to offer worldwide shipping after the summer.
Regards
Coulisse Crew
Unkut: "Reversible is one of the best produced scratch records since the last years.

One of Swedens most beloved Records shops, Blenda on Andra långgatan in Gothenburg, are about to close its doors for good. Everyone that's subscribed to their newsletter got the following e-mail in their inbox: (In Swedish only)
"Nu säger vi tack och adjö från skivaffären Blenda på Andra Långgatan i Göteborg.
Det har varit en underbar tid. Vi älskar alla er som har stöttat och handlat av oss genom åren. Hoppas ni tyckt om oss också. Skivaffären stänger vi Fredagen den 27 juni. Hur vi gör med webaffären är i skrivande stund ej helt klart. Klart är dock att vi stänger över sommaren. Vi återkommer om det i nyhetsbrevet, på www.blenda.com och http://blendalars.blogspot.com "
It's truly sad that it has come to this, I guess we can't fight the digital era any longer. Be sure to check the Blenda site for nice closing deals, and lets hope at least the online shop will make a return after the summer.
