Mixel.cc – Create Collages On Your Ipad

January 20, 2012

Mixel is a new iPad app that might as well end up creating a whole new art form. It lets you put together collages with images from your HD, your own Facebook account and from Bing searches. You can mix images in all the ways you want, you can crop them and resize them, you can rotate them and chop them in half. And when you’re finished, your collage will go live for everybody else to see it. And (this is the interesting bit), to keep on remixing it. That’s what tells this app apart: how much it democratizes the creation and adaptation of artistic works. Its builders obviously believe that there’s an artist in everybody, and that everybody’s contribution is as valid as any other person’s. Clearly, its tagline is not “Please touch the art!” for nothing.

Anything that’s shared using Mixel can be viewed by others in a way not that different from how images are shared on a service like Instagram. Collages can be browsed from within the app, you can follow your friends and (once you’ve been using the app for a while) your favorite artists, and all the most popular collages can be viewed together.

Mixel is available for free at the App Store. It’s been developed by Lascaux Co., a team founded by a former New York Times digital design editor (Khoi Vin) and a MIT computer science graduate (Scott Ostler).

MyDjSpace.com – Like MySpace For DJs

October 5, 2011

A new platform for the promotion and consumption of electronic music, MyDjSpace is all the more remarkable because there are no other sites that play out the promotional role it plays to this very same extent. On this site, DJs can make their mixes and remixes widely available, and people can listen to these by using a slick online player.

All the newest music is highlighted on the homepage, and so are featured artists. Plus, more than 15 different charts are available – “Disco”, “Trance”, “Techno”, “Dubstep”, “Mash Up”, “Minimal”… the point is that if it’s a popular genre, it’s there.

Membership to MyDjSpace is free to begin with, but these DJs that want bigger storage and the chance to let people download their music in a larger scale can always go for a paid account. These also come with a better set of analytics, which make for understanding what the public wants even faster. In any case, all MyDjSpace profile pages are fully customizable. Users can add tab titles, widgets and formatted text in a fell swoop.

LetsMix.com – For Aspiring DJs Everywhere

May 28, 2010

As you can tell by the title of the review and by the name of the site itself, this is one resource aimed at a very specific audience: DJs . The Let’s Mix website is a new spot where they can meet up, socialize and share their latest creations both with peers and with people that happen to be passing by.

I suppose that the vast majority of people who are reading this already own an app or the other for mixing and remixing songs. But if you do not, then you will be pleased to know that a free app can be downloaded through the site. Not only does this app let you apply effects to any track you feel like editing, it also lets you upload the finished piece straight to the Let’s Mix website for all to listen. Besides, this app comes complete with full iTunes support so that finding a song or two for remixing will be anything but difficult. All that is required is having some imagination and ideas, and some time for making these translate into a compelling mix.

TurnTubeList.com – An Excellent Tool For Aspiring DJs

February 22, 2010

The days in which being a DJ was limited by the contacts that you had and who could supply you with enough records to scratch are long gone. If you refuse to believe it just giving a brief glance to this site would prove it for good.

In principle, it is a kind of mixing board that takes YouTube videos at the starting point. It will let you have your way with them, and cross-fade them at will. You will be capable of coming up with your own mash-ups and remixes just by sliding the relevant bars. And once you have a couple of remixes to go with, you can proceed to share them with all and sundry. I think it is particularly interesting to find another mix that features the very same videos you have employed. It is a bit like coming across the same furniture we have when we visit somebody else’s house for the first time. The way everything is arranged there tells us a lot not just about that person, but also about ourselves.

It is the same with a remixed tune. Others will learn a lot about you, but the greatest discoveries are the ones you will make yourself when the process is over. That is, if you go beyond the surface. But if you just want to let your hair down for a while, this site will be perfect too.

RjDj.me – Music That Changes Every Time You Play It

December 19, 2009

If there is something iPhones are known to do, that is to push the boundaries of what we expect and we demand from absolutely everything. Is it fair to expect them to revolutionize the way we enjoy music? After having tried out this service, it seems the answer is going to be an affirmative one.

You see, RjDj is a purveyor of iPhone apps that champion what is called “reactive music”. In case you wonder what that is, it suffices to say that it is music that is played differently each and every time you listen to it since your iPhone modifies the tune according to the environment you are located in. That means no song is played the same way twice.

This service is mainly geared towards electronic music. That makes sense, really – music that is reliant on samples and loops lends itself to the reconstruction process far more instantly that rock or pop songs.

The company (which is the brainchild of one of the founders of MySpace) has recently released its very first app, in conjunction with artist Little Boots. You can procure it through the site – the results are certainly intoxicating, and any music lover is certain to be fascinated even if he doesn’t like electronic music.

SitScape.com – They Invented The Remix

September 17, 2008

For years, musicians have been remixing old songs and labeling them as new. If you though the internet would be saved from that phenomenon, then you haven’t heard about Sitscape.

com. On this site, you’ll be able to find out about a product that will let you clip items you like from a website, and remix it into a custom site of your own. It’s like taking the iGoogle concept and blowing it up a thousand times. Any live component of a site, you’ll be able to clip and add to another site (or your own). This makes for a “web remix” experience that can be both entertaining and useful. For instance, you’ll be able to keep track of stocks, weather, and your favorite team, all from one page with the sources you trust (and clipped from their original home). In short, this is a new and creative way to surf the web for your favorite content.
