UPDATE: This Wednesday: Fundraiser for Japan @ Beauty Bar

UPDATE:
As you know, the fundraiser was last week. And we were able to raise $400 that night. Thanks to urn RSCG advertising agency's generous matching, we were able to actually donate $800 to help Japan. I just want to say thanks to DJ Lazor for helping and the Comedy School Dropouts for supplying the laughs.

-----
Please come help support relief efforts in Japan. NYCelectro.com and the Comedy School Dropouts are teaming up to bring you a night of laughs, music, and dancing. The event will begin around 6:30pm and go until about 2am. The DJing will start around 10ish, after the comedy show. Its a free show, but with a Suggested Donation of $10. All funds will be going to the RedCross to directly benefit the "Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami" relief efforts. More info after the click:

‘Dropping On The 4′ is the new ‘Dropping On The 1′. (with some music theory)

This is no new concept to most DJs with many/a few years under their belt, but its very useful. Most DJs mix on the 1 (of the beat) and there is nothing wrong with. But, for those of you that have the need for something different, then this article is for you. Click through for examples, an explanation on "dropping on the 4", and some pretty sweet (basic) music theory.
