Rane Professional Audio Products releases a new mixer called the Limited Edition Sixty Two Z. With a face plate designed by Shepard Fairy and custom purple cables, the mixer bears the name of one of the hottest and most talented DJs in the club circuit. It boasts so many features and carries the most reliable name in the business.

We visited 17 company booths, highlighted 73 products, interviewed 22 DJs and streamed 13 DJ sets. During our LIVE streaming coverage, we had an average of 151 unique viwers per day with Sunday pulling in a whopping 200 viewers, even during an NFL Playoff game!

What does that tell us? Well for one, we are finally being recognized by the indusrty as a trusted source for DJ information. Second, DJs are relying on us to bring them reliable useful information in real time. No magazine or even blog can deliver such fast paced data in a short amount of time.

One most important outcome form our coverage is the connections we made with the manufacturers. We hope these connections will yield partnerships and open dialog with more information coming down the line in the year to come. Product releases and interviews with some key figures for our bi-weekly shows.

Here is a video highlight of our NAMM coverage. We will be releasing more footage and the weeks go by.

The following is the LIVE video coverage broken down by day. Below is a complete list of activity with links to their respective video footage. Enjoy.

We sit down with Denny Tedesco, director of the music documentary "The Wrecking Crew" and accomplished musician Don Randi who talked to us about the film and what was it like to be part of the group of studio musicians who recorded for many Rock and Roll stars in the 50's and 60's. With such artists like the Beach Boys, Elvis, The Byrds, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra, Sonny and Cher, Jan & Dean, The Monkees, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, The Mamas and The Papas, Tijuana Brass, Ricky Nelson, Johnny Rivers and were Phil Spector's Wall of Sound

The film is an an example of an extraordinary point in musical history that has been just recently been revealed. Much of the music recorded by these musicians were never publicly credited during that era.

We also talk about what it means to screen the movie for DJs from around the world at the upcoming Mobile Beat DJ Show and Conference in Las Vegas. The screening will take place on Wednesday February 8th at 7pm inside the Riviera Hotel and Casino.
