Hey developers: DJ’s are people with taste and talent, we can’t be replaced, so please give up. <br /><br />It seems like every software company wants to put DJs out of business with apps that make it ‘easy’ for anyone to remix and mash-up tunes, and this completely misses the mark. Seriously, how many people want or need dozens of complicated features or have the patience to read a manual thicker than a Twilight novel? Not me.<br /><br />But once in a blue moon, something really cool comes out and is worthy of praise and attention. ‘<a href="http://www.jamble.ca">Jamble</a>’ -- a new app for the iPhone and iPod Touch – falls into this category.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jamble.ca">Jamble</a> delivers on the promise: Mashups for the Masses. And believe me; this app sounds great and is pretty much idiot-proof. <br /><br />I downloaded the light version for free and took it for a test spin. It comes with 9 loops that seamlessly blend together. Here’s how it works: click on an album cover, click on another and they instantly beat-match. Cool. <br /><br />I quickly wanted more material to experiment with and <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=wkQhsIbd/Og&subid=&offerid=146261.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZStore.woa%2Fwa%2FviewSoftware%3Fid%3D318978268%2526mt%3D8">downloaded the full version from the iTunes App Store</a>. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Here is a quick overview:</span><br /><br />• Comes with 24 Jams to play with<br />• Features an eclectic selection of artists like Blur, Bowie, The Pussycat Dolls, Gorillaz, Dirty Vegas, MC Hammer, Young MC, Rockwell and many more<br />• Super easy to use and the loops make for some surprisingly hip mashups<br />• Automatic beat matching makes the novice instantly sound great<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Conclusion:</span><br />Well done Jamble Entertainment (the developers) and <a href="http://www.norobotsinteractive.com">No Robots Interactive</a> (the company that publishes the app): you clearly get it and everyone else will too. Easy, fun and addictive. My only complaint is that I would love to get more Loop Packs, but I heard these are coming soon.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note: My reunion gig with Wood Daft in Düsseldorf has been postponed until later this summer due to Svend Ballrag’s recent relapse. Get well soon Bro, we are pullin’ for you. I will keep you all posted when we get the new date locked down.</span><br /><br />PS: Kelly, if you are reading this – and I bet you are – it’s over girl. It was fun while it lasted, but it’s time to move on. Get over it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8380841589772432366-4042693418596008345?l=mashmaster.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>BFMWnoreply@blogger.com0
