MacSpecialist is hosting a seminar by Duct Tape Marketing focused on helping small to medium business owners and operators develop and deliver their marketing message.
I’m a small business owner (Fractalspin.com) and considering the state of the economy, this is a really valuable resource for biz owners. Cost for one of these seminars is $100 but MacSpecialist—the coolest Chicagoland Mac repair & sales authority–is picking up the tab so it’s FREE. Yeah. Crazy, right?
So after posting my article on Nudge on Facebook, I ended up creating a little “remix war” with two of my friends, Praveen Sharma & Chris Todd (Phylum Sinter).
Check out another fun flash audio toy from Hobnox, the creators of the Audiotool (that I’ve written about before) called Nudge. The above is my little creation. (You have to hit the triangle at the bottom right 2x to turn off playback)
Nudge is a virtual-instrument widget designed for self-expressive online music making & sharing. It’s fun and simple to use and you don’t need to know a single thing about producing music to make your own individual songs in minutes!

Get ready to re-live the heydey of electronic music in Chicago with Raver Rewind 2000 on Saturday September 19 at Ai Lounge. Four Chicago-based DJs who’ve experienced the scene firsthand back in the day will be playing records only from 1992-2000 for an authentic soundrack. Contemporary instruments like laptops, digital DJ gear, Monomes / APC, Lemurs are specifically prohibited as well.
What’s not prohibited is getting into the “raver spirit” by dressing the part–phat pants, bright colors, ravey t-shirts, and bringing some PLUR and good vibes. For some of us who were there in the scene, it will be a night heavy on nostalgia, and will bring back the joy of hearing classic tracks that we remember fondly. For the newer recruits into the contemporary electronic music scene, it will be educational to hear the tracks, trends and products of available technology that influenced the kind of music being made today.
Popkan (Textone, subVariant) and Dirtybird (Zuvuya, Italo Business, Naughty Bad Fun) will focus heavily on old school house; Gianna Hardt (Forte Productions, ForTheMammas), a promoter uniquely familiar with of underground parties idolized and was influenced by DJs like Larry Heard, Farley Jackmaster Funk, and Julian Jumpin Perez. Tim Kasper (House of Godz) will bring his collection of vintage techno to throw down. Liz Revision (subVariant) hosts.Arrive early to nosh on Ai Restaurant’s AMAZING Japanese food & killer sushi. Valet is available for $10 all night.358 W. Ontario, Chicago, 10pm-2am. 21+
