It’s been a LONG time since I caught SNL. Had to check it out this past Saturday night when I heard Kendrick Lamar would be the featured performer. Gotta make sure those ratings are nice, so they invite some real Hip-Hop artist back on the show. If you missed it, check it below. The show is also hosted by Adam Levine.

On Friday April 2nd, I hosted the Red Bull Music Academy x Akai MPC workshop to showcase the new Akai Pro MPC Renaissance. This also served as an opportunity for Atlanta artists to turn in their applications for the 2012 Red Bull Music Academy. It all took place at Tree Sounds Studios with special guest Dan Gill (Akai), Sean C (Producer, Hitmen), and some of ATL’s emerging producers including: DJ Burn One, DJ Pocket, Salem Psalms, Herobust, Groove Chambers, Morgan The Mexican, etc.

The MPC Renaissance is Akai’s new drum machine / work station that has NOT been released for public purchase yet. This event served as a great opportunity for music gear heads to check out the latest and greatest. Even those not into making beats such as myself could learn a new trick or two.

The next day there was a private session held at Patchwerk Studios with the Big Boy producers: Don Cannon, Brian Michael Cox, Jazze Pha, Etc. Producers seem to be pretty excited about the MPC Renaissance. Akai has officially changed the way users will connect with the MPC, now lets see if producers use this device to create a new musical landscape that we can connect with. The future awaits.

My guess is you’ll see the Renaissance make an appearance at the 2012 Red Bull Music Academy sessions in New York City this fall as well.

Check out some pics as well as some video from the 3 Little Digs.

I got a sneak peek at this video last week when I was in NYC at Duckdown’s offices. I’m really digging it. I think the video really brought the song to life for me .

Here it is. Check it out for yourself.

Aight… So the first installment of Swerve Methods covered the easiest and most universal method for mobile device backup. If you weren’t scared to take your tech game beyond madden football, you found out that Dashwire is the jumpoff. Now that we’ve got you’re phone backing 24/7 we’re going to take the backup a little further with cloud sharing. With Windows SkyDrive and ADrive on deck you’ll never have to worry about loosing your itunes playlist or photo collections again. The ART of BACKING UP PART2 after the jump. (more…)

And this whole time I thought Twitter was invented by the CIA (still may be). I came across this video of Evan Williams, the creator of Twitter talking on how it was created. I’m sure all you Twitter junkies will enjoy this.
