Fancy a Sunday afternoon’s raving, while witnessing hundreds of London’s best DJs attempting to break a Guinness World Record?
We’ve got ten pairs of tickets to give away for the huge #MixInLondon charity event, hosted by Dance Aid and sponsored by Casino.com, at the world-famous Ministry of Sound.

When you DJ with other people, you’re on a team, and that team has to play well together in order to perform effectively. The crowd doesn’t really care about the individuals as much as the whole. If all the DJs on a night can make it work as a team, it benefits everyone.
So if you’ve got a gig coming up where there will be lots of other DJs playing (especially where you all have your own gear), and you want to be sure you’re contributing to the whole and not treading on any toes, here are some time-won rules for being a good team player in the DJ booth:
The main screen of Cross DJ For iPad, showing a traditional layout but with a wealth of extra information too.
Ever since MixVibes showed an early iOS version of its well-regarded Cross DJ system at Musikmesse earlier this year, we have been eagerly waiting to bring you this review.
Finally, with the app due to hit the app store shortly, I’ve been able to spend a week of quality time with it. The press release boldly claims it to be the “World’s First Professional DJing App”. Similar claims have been made before by other DJ apps that have often fallen short of expectations. So given that the DJ app market is already competitive, does Cross DJ live up to the hype, and will it stir the competition up?
The Ultrasone DJ1s: A well-rounded, great-sounding DJ headphone.But how do they compare to the 'Pros?
A couple of weeks ago we looked at the Ultrasone DJ1 Pro headphones, and ended up real liking them. We also promised that we’d cover their little brother, the DJ1, soon. Today we’re doing just that.
Both models are from a German company that only makes headphones, and so as we stated in the DJ1 Pro review, they are far from “me-too” headphones. So we can guess they’re going to be good. The question now is, exactly how good are these compared to their Pro counterparts, and which would suit the serious digital DJ best?
Mixcloud gives you room for an image to promote your mix - but where should you go to find good free images?
Digital DJ Tips reader Kaan writes: “I’ve recently made my first mixtape and uploaded it on Mixcloud. when I was doing so, Mixcloud said I can choose a picture to upload. However, I didn’t had a suitable image on my laptop so I uploaded it without an image for now.”
“That’s what me leads to my question: Where can I find images for my mixtapes without getting in trouble with copyright etc?”
Native instruments just launched their "Dual Brains. Wanted." careers drive to get new talent into its Berlin and LA offices. Many people who work for DJ companies are also DJs themselves.
Digital DJ Tips reader Rasmus writes: “I am in a sort of dire situation here. I am a very passionate DJ, not quite of age yet. Thing is, my parents are not too hyped about my passion; they think that DJing is in fact not a real career, and that I should most definitely have a ‘real job’ along with having DJing as a ‘hobby’ to do in my free time.
“I would like to have your advice/view on if DJing is (or can be) a reliable career, meaning that the income is somewhat consistent and the gigs ‘keep coming’. I know ‘DJing’ is somewhat of a broad field, but could you go into details of mostly mobile DJing and club DJing?”
