It's called Intellect, I really enjoyed this video. Great stuff with Derrick May, Juan Atkins and other big time artists and DJ's. I produce locally and this was as enlightening as some panel discussions I've been to but for about 1/10th the cost. The tutorials on the 2nd video are pretty darn good. As opposed to most instructional DJ DVDs that exist today and focus upon turntablism and scratching (BTW Get Qberts video if you want to learn to scratch - there is no DVD that even comes close -save your money and go with Qbert - you won't be sorry) this DVD focuses upon club DJ skills, mixing, beat matching, using the pitch fader, eq'ing etc. If you are a working DJ you already know what's on the second video. What is worth the money (even if it was 1 DVD disc) are some of the interviews and comments by the biggest stars in the industry.

Hmmm, sounds interesting. I might have to pick it up then, I should probably download another song or two first though to see if I'll like it. Thanks for the info.

I was on the Barnes & Noble website today and they have tons of stuff about Junior Senior. Is their album really good? I've only heard that one song, Move Your Feet, which I really like.

I found this 2 disc dvd called 'Intellect' last week at the record store, it has interviews with tons of djs and artists (around 40 I think). Plus the second disc has this big tutorial for aspiring progressive house djs, I'm not interested in djing myself but I think a lot of people could get into this. Has anybody else seen it or heard about it?

Hey is anybody going to see Fannypack at the Knitting Factory on friday? I think it's their first show, or at least the first I've heard about. It's a pretty small place so I bought my ticket already just to be on the safe side.

Has anyone seen the Intellect DVD? It's a 2 disc set with a documentary, interviews, a tutorial focusing on techno, house, and progressive DJs. I'm enjoying it quite a bit, anyone else see it? check out a preview here http://www.chaoskitty.com/intellectdvd_ It has tons of DJs including Orbital, Juan Atkins, Paul Van Dyk, Deep Dish, Doc Martin, Hybrid, and more
