“Remiix” Richie Hawtin’s Minus Label On Your iPhone

Since his early days manipulting records on three turntables with an arsenal of foot pedals to his Decks, EFX & 909 heyday and the salient Closer to the Edit deconstruction of techno, Richie Hawtin has always been searching for a new alchemy with which to transform the traditional techno track into something more.

While the world was preparing for Christmas 2011, Hawtin’s new mobile app publisher Liine unveiled Remiix, an app for iPhone that let’s you “combine, transform and re-arrange” tracks released on his revered Minus label. Download the app for $2.99 on iTunes, and start having your way with cuts by Marc Houle, Matador and Magda (plus a few that don’t start with the letter M).

New Rapture Album Better Than The iPad

Now stripped to a three-piece following the departure of Mattie Safer, NYC dance-punks The Rapture are back in the studio, this time with Philippe Zdar (the producer behind Phoenix’s breakthrough album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix). And the band isn’t shy in saying their fourth full-length will school a certain new device coming to market in an interview with Pitchfork.

“Being in Paris makes the whole process seem kind of mysterious, a little magical,” says saxophonist/percussionist/keyboardist Gabe Andruzzi. “It’s going to be a mystical, magical album.” I tell him that “mystical, magical” reminds me of Steve Jobs introducing the iPad.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Steve Jobs announced the release of the iPad this morning in San Francisco. Details are coming so fast, we recommend you just keep hitting refresh on Gizmodo every 15 seconds. But what we want to know is, will the iPad stable enough to run Traktor? Serato? Ableton Live? If the answer’s yes, than the DJ booth just became a much cooler place.
