So to the web we go! For your delight this week we’ve got the Daft Punk anthem “Get Lucky” reimagined through the decades (see the video above), a new NI controller leak, and an absorbing article on New York clubbing. Have a great weekend!

  2. From Disco to Disco: New York’s Global Clubbing Influence – Want to see how clubbing has been influenced by New York? This detailed article from the Red Bull Music Academy does a good job of laying it out. I particularly love the section on how one of the clubs where I cut my teeth, Manchester’s Hacienda, took its cues from New York’s scene in the 80s. Read more
  3. Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 lets you do away with decks – Taking a bit of Novation’s Twitch and everything that was good about the original Traktor Kontrol X1, Native Instruments’s forthcoming take on its original modular controller looks promising indeed, according to this leak via DJ Tech Tools Read more
