You may have herd, IRON DJ MOBILE is here! At Iron DJ we strive to create a music and event promotion platform that will change the industry forever. The first step in this process was to simply make the music available to the masses. This initial step has been executed to some extent, however many improvements are still needed to be made. Now we present Mobile Iron DJ to give you a new way to access content on-the-go. We think this feature will also help set Iron DJ apart from all the other music and file delivery services like mediafire, and soundcloud.

To use Mobile Iron DJ simply point your cell phone web browser to: http://m.irondj.net and boom! Our development team designed the site to work on all web enabled cellphones. There are no apps to install, and the site loads extremely quickly. Direct links allow you to download mp3s directly to your phone. Here is a quick overview of the current features…

• Super fast page loading! You wanted to get the music as fast as humanly possible? This is the reason we did not put any images or other shit on the pages to slow you down.
• Easy Navigation – We put in nice big brightly colored links for those fat little fingers of yours.
• Global search – Enter any term and it will search for any artists/uploader, and title. (Yes its even better and faster than the web version)
  
• 320p Wide – If you have a smart phone / iphone / fancy pants phone this page is going to fit perfectly and look great. Don’t worry if you have a phone with a smaller screen it will work just fine on you too (see crappy cell phone photo above).

As of right now the mobile site consists of one page. We are still in the process of getting the rest of the pages (user show, mix show, etc) online. Expect many more features for the mobile site. We plan on adding full functionality, including upload ability, streaming audio, SMS alerts and much more.

As far as the web version of Iron DJ is concerned we have many upcoming features. We are going to be rolling out an amazing EVENT PROMOTION service that will allow promoters to post event information. Unlike other event websites (such as going and sfstation, etc) Iron DJ is taking this concept to the NEXT LEVEL by giving you the ability to attach rich media to your event posting, we also plan to offer twitter, email, and rss integration. Another upcoming feature to look for will be a musician booking service.

The days may still be long but the summer is mostly cold here in the city of San Francisco, which has led to may excursions to the north bay to take in nature, pools and solid 90 degree temperatures. Thanks to contributions from IRONDJ friends: Notable Andrew from Stoneyroads (cheers from down under!) While browsing my many sources for new or hard to find house bangers, I came up on quite alot of ear candy for you to enjoy, spin or just dance to.

I’m going to start out with Mr. Wolfgang Gartner. Despite the very Germanic name, he actually hails from Austin, Texas, and has been producing records since some of you readers were coloring shapes. It was not until he adopted the persona of Wolfgang did his true electro roots emerge. It seems like one after the other his tracks and remixes are gaining ground, whether it be on the Beatport charts or in the multitude of DJ sets being spun around the world. The following tracks are stellar, with the originals Flashback and Montezuma being staples of my alternating sets. Prepare your ears for the onslaught- it gets heavy

So on this lazy Sunday night I decided to spend some time messing around on one of my many mixing programs. I have to say its twice as hard without a physical mixer, especially because I only have one independent audio output (I messed up 3-4 times, not badly tho), but it didn’t stop me from cutting a nice nighttime “prog-ish” mix. So without further ado, here is a rough cut mix that might ease your ability to sleep. I know I will be playing it later tonight.

UPDATE (11:08pm) Don’t know why I through that Tiga track in, just felt like it would work

If your a fan of the iron dj music platform you might notice a few new changes…

• Access to track/mix pages without login
• IMPROVED EMBED on track/mix page
• When uploading new tracks you will notice a check box to make the distinction between original tracks/mixes and re-posts. At IronDJ we feel it is important to respect the rights of the original creators. If you do not have the consent of the creator to re-post their work we do not want it on IronDJ. (Most DJ’s make themselves very available!)
• New cover art for tracks/mixes.

Here are some examples of the new embed stezz…

Miami is an interesting place for nightlife… you have the guidos, the latinos, the locals, the tweens, the UM kids, the models, the hipsters & the rappers. But every single club was/is just way too much regaeton, too much top 40, and too much “world hold on”. Straight nonsense and a lot of people were just over the whole scene. I thought to myself, stop whining about it and do something.

I owe pretty much everything to my buddy out in LA named Trevor, aka BONES. He showed me the ropes last summer and got me super inspired to get started when I got back to Florida. If it wasn’t for him, I’d probably never be DJing right now.

Author’s note: BONES, aka Trevor Moffit, is also a friend of IDJ and can be found over at Gotta Dance Dirty

Traktor. Read above.

My first gig was at Heathrow, which is a relatively new club on South Beach (I later ended up being a resident there for a few months) I had been pumping it up the whole week before the gig to all of my friends, so of course they all came. But when I got there I didn’t have the right cables to hook-up and I felt like an idiot. Amateur hour to the max.

Mac Powerbook G4 and an old version of Traktor. It lacked some serious hard drive space. Bitch was so slow.

WMC was looney tunes. It’s really fun because I’m so new and I’m soaking it all in, meeting DJ’s I really look up to and listen to every day. It also helped that I had crazy access to some pretty special shows. The last night of WMC (Sunday) Bloody Beetroots and Steve Aoki played a secret show at Bella Rose, which is the smallest/yet most legit joint on South Beach. It was the epitome of rad.

Just two months ago I became resident at Bella Rose and the first few Saturday nights were slllaammmmeeedddd (capacity of the club is like 200 and we pretty much doubled it). I’d play from open at 11pm straight through to close at 4am, so I practically played every track on my computer. Everything from disco to dubsteb. But at like 3-3:30 I would just start dropping the noisiest bangers and everyone inside was losing it, just ripping the paint off the walls. Epic stuff.

Believe in your music, don’t drop bangers before people get drunk, and never burn bridges. Its a small, small industry and there’re a lot more DJs who are way better than you.
