RIP DJ AM
A lot of the media coverage of the sad passing of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) have talked about his celebrity girlfriends and his high profile gigs at parties for famous people (and featured some sordid speculation on how he died, which is just sick), but bottom line, he knew how to rock a party - check this video, as he does a mean demo on Serato.




I watched on Twitter as the news spread on saturday morning (NZT), with his DJ friends expressing their grief.
DJ A-Trak; "What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck my bro just called me I'm in an isolated house in france. Is this for real????????I'm really really really really really sad. I guess it's true. RIP to my man DJ AM. An amazing DJ and one of the kindest people I've known.Dj am was the first guy that was a big deal that believed in me, and gave me props... Here's my last random thoughts on DJ am ... http://bit.ly/aznGx

He was down here in NZ last June to play at Serato's tenth anniversary party...

Jazzy Jeff and DJ Sizzahandz were the first to tell me about Serato [Scratch LIVE]. I had seen DJ Solomon on Final Scratch and it sucked. I tried it and the latency was so bad I said, ‘I will never be a Digital DJ,’ just like I passed on the corny ass CDJs when they came out. I have Technics tattooed on my wrist as my only tattoo. I love the turntable. Once I saw, felt and heard how amazing SSL sounded, I was hooked. I said it before and I will say it again: SSL is the best thing to happen to DJing since the turntable. I love it.
