Unconfirmed reports that Technics to halt production on some turntable models: Source #1 "Panasonic have apparently announced that Technics production to cease in February 2010. The Technics SL-1200 and Technics SL-1210 turntables have shaped the world we know today. Featured in the London Museum of Science and Technology they are regarded as a major stepping stone in how music is played and presented.

San Francisco Police Department officers have added a controversial tactic to their aggressive raids on house parties (see "Fun under siege," 4/22/09): they're seizing laptop computers from DJs at the events. While SFPD officials deny the laptop seizures is a new policy, they admit it has been condoned by Police Chief George Gascón, who took over in August and last month told the Guardian's editorial board he wants to make the SFPD more transparent and accountable to the public (see "New coach, new approach," 10/14/09). "The police chief is aware that officers are being proactive in gathering evidence," Sgt. Lyn Tomioka told the Guardian when asked about a string of laptop seizures by undercover cops over the last 10 months, most of them in cases in which the DJs weren't even charged with a crime. - BounceFM

A deejay well known in Chelsea's gay club scene has vanished without a trace, leaving cops scrambling for clues. The last confirmed sighting of James "DJ Jimmy" Moyer, 53, was at Splash Bar -- a West 17th Street club that advertises "NYC's Biggest Men Seeking Men Party" -- as he left work on Sept. 27. The night was a success for Moyer, who struggled to break into the music business after a career in computer programming. But when club management called to offer him a regular weekly gig, he never responded. Moyer stopped returning calls and e-mails after Oct. 1 and failed to pay his rent for the Rutherford, NJ, apartment where he's lived for nearly 20 years. - BounceFM

Below are five exciting ways to DJ on an entry-level budget. The primary difference between the following solutions relates to how your media is stored and referenced. For decades, DJs did both with 12" vinyl disks. The vinyl standard gave way to the CD about five years ago, though the workflow remained essentially the same. The DJ would use the CDJ ("CD-turntable") to regulate elements like tempo and transport actions, and would subsequently send that signal to a mixer to be modified in volume—both "track" and "frequency/EQing". From there it was time to dance. Let's first look at two current takes on this tradition: - BounceFM

To quote Keanu Reeves: whoa. Was last Thursday’s Dance.Here.Now. party at Cielo a sardine can or what? We haven’t seen the joint that packed on a weekday since Danny Tenaglia dropped a set of classics there a while back. The occasion was a set by the beloved festival-techno practitioner Carl Cox (who, come to think of it, is the U.K. equivalent of Mr. Tenaglia), so the crowd wasn’t exactly unexpected. What was a bit surprising was that Coxie was on the decks all night long—no opening DJ for him, thank you very much. And he was playing surprisingly deep music early on (a track from cosmic-disco star Prins Thomas’s Full Pupp label was on when we entered the club). By the time we left, however, the big man was banging it out in big-room style, and the crowd—which was not so much dancing as it was bobbing up and down in the one square foot of space allotted to each reveler—was banging right along. - BounceFM
