A few months ago I took a stab at Mixxx, the open source dj mixing software, and was pleasantly surprised to find that my review had drawn some interest.  The page views soared and the comment section actually showed some activity.  "Nice", I thought.  Until small details on my part began to show some neglect.  Neglect is fine when it's just you and your friends sharing some space.  But when outsiders start to see neglect, it's a much different story.  If

Credit is due to CDMusic for introducing me to the Mixxx Open Source DJ Software last week.   Yes, that's three X's in mixxx and I assume it would have been four X's had mixxx.org been registered already like mixx and mix were.  My first impression to CDMusic's post was WOW; free software, no additional (proprietary) hardware and compatible with vinyl control.  That's pretty much all I ever wanted.

The latest mix show turned out quite well.  I have been listening to small parts since the recording and I am, at the risk of sounding blah, very impressed.  Not so much by the mixes, but the mix possibilities of old and new spanning close to 10 years is quite encouraging for the techno circle.  Villalobos has really stuck to his beat style since his start and still manages to create a new space with each song.  The plain white triple played twice on this mix is so similar to his early perlon and still new to the ears.&nbs
