Some information about the partners:
Bleep.com was launched in January 2004 by independent music and film company Warp, and has since cemented a reputation as the best download boutique store catering for passionate music fans, selling MP3, WAV and FLAC downloads alongside vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, T-shirts and other merchandise.
Bloc Weekend has cemented it’s reputation as the UK’s leading electronic music festival. Taking place this year on 11th-13th March and with possibly the strongest line-up ever, this year’s festival looks to be one of the most important dates in the calendar this year.
Serato and their seminal Scratch Live Hardware / Software package has changed the face of DJing worldwide, now being an industry standard in club culture. The intuitive system allows digital music to replicate the traditional DJing experience for that "real feel".
Ableton Live has become a firm favourite for music composition, songwriting, recording, production, remixing and live performance. Live's nonlinear, intuitive flow, alongside powerful real-time editing and flexible performance options, make it a unique studio tool and a favorite with live performers.
TMA-1 – whilst still relatively new to the market, these TMA-1 headphones are fast reaching for the crown to be the headphones for any serious DJ. With a tester list that includes Flying Lotus, Kode 9, Hudson Mohawke, 2ManyDJs and Ellen Allien to name a few… These set of headphones really do mean business.
