When you think Costco or Sam’s Club, you probably think of stuff for the family. Large portions at cheap prices. Did you ever think they would sell turntables at Costco?? I paid a visit to my local Costco and what do you know…A TURNTABLE???? I’m guessing that these turntables are targeted towards the older generation who still have vinyl sitting in their closets and hoping to use it as a way to get the music into their iPod. Or even better, looks like Mom and Dad want to take a crack and the 1’s and 2’s…
Here’s an excerpt from their website:
“TTUSB10 is an high-end turntable with USB connection enabling anyone to transfer music from records to computer. On your computer, you can listen to your music, record it to CD, or transfer it to your iPod or MP3 player and take it with you.”
I had the opportunity to speak with Fausto, the owner of freshdjsets.com, a new website that showcases some of the latest, greatest electronic dj mixes around the world. I was particularly impressed with the organization of the site with each genre, and sub-genre all listed out ready to listen. Some of the genres include: house, progressive house, tech house, trance, euro trance, goa trance. It’s also listed by DJ’s like David Guetta, DJ Tiesto, Carl Cox and basically every big named electronic dj you can name. Go ahead and check it out if you love electronic music as much as I do…..
Word on the street is that Mega-superstar DJ Tiesto is offering a download from his latest album Kaleidoscope. Nothing better than sharing good (and free) music with the ones we love. The track “Surrounded By Light” is being offered on his website here…

The album is about my 20 years in the the dj game and all the struggles I went through to get to were I ‘m at today.
