AKAI MPC Fly for iPad2

On January 20, 2012, in DJ EQUIPMENT, DWU, GADGETS, IPAD, by PapaNige
Remember lugging around that old 20 pound MPC 60 from session to session ? Well, your next MPC may not weigh much more than a 10 inch tablet. AKAI has introduced the "FLY", an accessory for the iPad 2, which turns it into a mini MPC.  The FLY is essentially an iPad2 case with a built in Lithium Ion battery. It'will work with AKAI's app and any other MIDI compliant app in the ITunes store.   The folks at AKAI believe the small footprint and light weight will allow you to make beats on the... "FLY".  Get it?  Ok , so the story behind the name is corny but the product concept is kinda cool. Continue to check the promo video from AKAI.

Red Tails Opens This Weekend

On January 19, 2012, in DWU, MOVIES, by PapaNige
Red Tails is a film about the famous Tuskegee Airmen of World War II,  inspired by the true story of America's first all black aerial combat unit. The film's title comes from red painted tails on their planes.  With an all black cast and no starring "white" role, the concept was a hard sell for "Star Wars" creator George Lucas. Lucas eventuall took $58 million of his own cash to personally fund the project.  The film, which tells the story of a group of Tuskegee Airmen during WWII, has  a cast that includes  Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Ne-Yo and Method Man.  It opens nationwide on Jan. 20.  I've spoken to a number of people who attended screenings, and I expect it will be a "must see" film for 2012.   Continue for the Trailer
