A Sagittariun has been involved in the electronic music scene for the best part of 25 years — running labels, representing artists, producing under other names. He won’t tell DJ Mag who he is, hiding behind a silly mask, but we don’t mind because his new EP, ‘Across the Celestial Sphere’, and forthcoming ‘Dream Ritual’ album are so sublime.

Bloody Beetroots are a band that don’t rely on one specific genre to get their point across spanning a wide range of influences that touches on electronic chaos

The release of Traktor DJ has changed all of this by bringing a truly professional mixing system to the iPad that can be used on-the-go for set preparation as well as for out-and-out DJ performances. Now DJs have the option of ditching their laptops in favour of an iPad for their gigs, meaning that when it comes to serious music production and DJing, the iPad’s time has finally come.

It’s a very special version of Take 10 this issue. Usually we ask people to talk about the 10 tracks that have influenced them over the course of their lives, but seeing as pioneering French electro label Ed Banger is 10-years-old this month — and releasing a big comp to celebrate — we thought we’d get Ed Banger boss Pedro Winter, aka Busy P, to talk about 10 landmark Ed Banger releases.
