I hope this is alright to post this kind of thing, I figured if anyone would be able to help me out it would be you fine people.

I'm thinking about buying a Technics SL-B300 with an AudioTechnica needle. I was wondering if you guys knew anything about this one or could give me a little feedback. I've done a little bit of research on it but it's been hard to find any real product reviews. I don't need it for DJing or anything, just to enjoy some music at home. Thanks in advance for any info.

I have been pretty excited about the coming of these, more specifically the Ecler Nuo 2.0. I have heard nothing but good things about the Eternal Fader, and Ecler mixers and I love the slim design!

turntablelab just got them in today, I believe.

As I was flying through the cosmos, geometrical figures began to appear before me creating amazing galactic architecture in front of the landscape of space. I finally returned to earth and realized that I was not actually tripping on mushrooms in the cosmos. I was lost in the music that is MemoryStorm. Their self-titled debut album, which was released in April, is fantastic. The group consists of DJ PSI-KICK (Turntables) and KOR-1 (MPC). I can honestly say this is the best album of 2008, so far.

You can currently buy their album digitally through Hear Japan for around $14. The MP3s are in superb Variable Bitrate Encoding.

Here is a promo for the debut album:

South Wales-based DJ Keltech chats about why the dance floor always goes wild for "The Imperial March" and how Darth Vader keeps the dark side of drum and bass going strong.

How has Star Wars your music at all -- such as the DJ Keltech Strikes Back scratch CD and the video of you as Darth Vader?

I owe a lot to the popularity of Star Wars! In 2005, I entered the World DMC Championship heats -- a DJ competition -- in the UK. Being a huge fan of "The Imperial March" music and having the records for many years I decided to see if I could come up with a mix using the tune and a nice hip hop beat. The night at the regional final of the DMC competition as part of my routine I dropped the Vader mix. The crowd went berzerk! They absolutely loved it. That night when I got home still buzzing at the crowd reaction, I thought of a way I could build on the idea. Being a creative person and always up for a laugh I decided to buy a cheap Darth Vader suit, video the routine in my bedroom and put the video on my website, DJkeltech.com.

The next thing I know I'm getting thousands of hits and people are emailing the video to friends! I couldn't believe how popular the video was becoming; I was seeing it posted on websites worldwide. It was even passed on to Msn.com who put a feature on their front page! A few weeks passed with the video snow balling in popularity, and then I got an email from a TV company in Belgium asking if I would come over to their studios and perform the Darth Vader routine live on TV.

I couldn't believe my luck! All I've ever wanted was to make a name for myself as a creative person, be it as a music producer or a turntablist. It's amazing that this little video dressed up as Darth Vader mixing up his theme tune got my name out there on a global scale. It's clear that the popularity of Star Wars helped a lot to the video's popularity as people from all generations know the characters and the music. I think it was also a combination of sheer fluke and good timing, or maybe a little help from the dark side?
