Alright beat-corner-ians. This week I am going to try so very hard to keep this a short one. I’ve been doing a lot of research on headphones recently and I think I might have enough information to fill out a small book. So I’m going to consciously keep it brief and keep it simple…
Helooooooo beatus corneriusius! Welcome to latest new edition of the beat corner! Tonight I found myself compiling some tracks for a b-day party this weekend and asked myself “ooooh I should do a post about making mix-tapes”! and viola, here we are! The older people out there may hear the word “mixtape” and think…
Welcome to the corner! Last week I watched the movie Her, which is FANTASTIC in case you were wondering, and it got me thinking about the ubiquitousness of computers today. They have succeeded in seeping into every aspect of our lives…every single one! Take smartphones today, which are little more than mini computers in our…

Hello and welcome to the 6th edition of Classic Corner Track! We are in the midst of summer here in the southern hemisphere and the sun is shining! Its hard not to think of beach days and party nights. This week, to celebrate the mood, I will be inducting one of my favourite Jamaican groups…
What is UP my sexy readers! Its yo boy DJ BRUAEL coming at you with another current track and this week its a doozy! 2013 was shown to be the year of some new Hip-Hop rivals to the throne. I got to hear the likes of Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Chance the Rapper and…
Hey Beatcornerities, its time for part 4 and the conclusion to my series on DJ Software. My apologies for the delay on this one, ain’t no enough time in the day! Today, we are going to be looking at some of the lesser-known DJ software programs out there. Keep in mind that I have little…
