COMIN’ UP


10% DISCOUNT ON CUSTOM EARPLUGS


WHEN we’re young, we all think we’re invincible, but it’s now commonly accepted that long periods in loud clubs can damage your hearing, causing tinnitus, a temporary or permanent ringing in the ears, hearing loss and eventually deafness.


As well as taking regular breaks, the cheapest way to protect your ears are foam earplugs but these muffle sounds and may not be fitted to your ear effectively. Custom-fitted earplugs from Musicians Hearing Services in Harley Street, London, are shaped to your ears from moulds and attenuate sound, meaning you can still hear clearly while DJing or dancing. They are also available with different strength filters so you can get a pair to suit your needs.


Check the testimonials from two up-and- coming producers online, Eats Everything and Bicep, to hear their experience of getting kitted out and find out how you can too.


BEATPORT LAUNCH MIXTAPE DOWNLOAD STORE


ALREADY a leader in downloads for DJs, Beatport have launched a new limited public beta site, Beatport Mixes, featuring DRM-free, high-definition DJ mixes for download.


With exclusive mixes from the likes of Fedde Le Grand, Todd Terry, Stefano Noferini and Diplo, whose ‘Enter The Beat Portal’ moombahton mix clocks in at 24 tracks over 59 minutes, users can handily preview each track on the mix before purchase.


“I was always a DJ before I was making original tracks,” says Diplo. “The DJ is the backbone of dance music. DJs [have] been the direct distributor, and mixtapes are the way I can bring fresh sounds to people. Real DJs don’t wait for them to blow up. Beatport Mixes gives me an audience of kids that love dance music from all genres. I now have the ability to share that vision in its purest form with all my fans.”
