I was travelling for the weekend, so didn’t have any time to pull music for this show. Usually that means I turn to the WNUR CD library because it’s hard to sequence music from a computer in the moment. But I recently got a copy of Djay for Mac, and it totally blows away the last “virtual DJ” app I tried. All you need is an iMic and a music library and you’re cookin.

Enjoy!
