DJ Homewrecker - Indian Burn (Original Mix) - Look At You Records
Details:
We are very pleased to drop some serious Chicago heat on you in the form of Dj Homewrecker's 'Indian Burn'. As most of you will remember DJ Homewrecker added his golden touch to Armbar's 'You Will Never Know Me' a few months back. Now we have an original project that is eclectic, unique and most of all...fabulously fun!

W.O.E. Is Me (DJ Homewrecker Remix)
Yeah, it's an old one, but I decided to re-post due to some blog spring-cleaning. The track has DJ Sneak beats over a Jurassic 5 acapella. Dig.

Ableton Live: Complex Warp
Attention DJs (or anyone warping long audio or entire songs): Turn on "Complex" warping.
Sometimes I notice a tiny stutter when warping long pieces in the "Beats" mode. It sounds like the program is trying to re-correct the warp on every 16th note. Switching to "Complex" mode removes this problem.
Tip: Record MIDI at Lower Tempos
Perhaps everyone already knows this tip, but just in case ...
When recording a complex or fast MIDI part, record at a slower tempo (e.g. 100bpm for a 130bpm track). This is a great way to get that human groove/feel with parts that are hard to play in real time.

Ableton Live 7 Slice to Midi for Drum re-edits
Here's an example of chopping a loop into MIDI notes for re-edits. The whole secret is in the "Slice to MIDI track" right-click.
