TheFreshcast Dec’08
House Music

What a great set to end the year. 2008 has been an incredible year for The Freshcast series, Chris Wren just never ceases to amaze!

The December edition of The Freshcast starts out with an oldie revitalized and remixed “You Used To Hold Me” speaks volumes in terms of the evolution of electronic music to today. Similarly “Enjoy The Silence” featuring For the Masses hits a sweet spot as it builds and builds into something so spectacular you just may feel a rush. This is accented with the track “Sundays At Heaven”. The latter part just gets juicier and juicier….mmmmm.mmmm… “I Can’t Fight This”!!!!

Armin van Buuren A State of Trance 2008
Trance Music

This dj requires no introduction, 2 time Best DJ award winner (from DJ Mag) Armin Van Buuren is the king of trance music surpassing his fellow dutchman Tiesto. With 27 million listeners world wide tuning in regularly to hear these State of Trance releases no one could have predicted that trance music would be alive as much today as it was when it really started taking a hold on the music scene more than a decade ago. Perhaps it’s Armin’s ability to chose tracks which take a step out of the ordinary repetitive trance beats which have lost their lustre by now. We leave it up to you to listen and decide for yourself…

Sony DSC W300 Digital Camera Review
Gadget Reviews

Rarely have we had the chance to review a digital camera, but since so many of us are getting out and partying with our camera’s it only made sense to do a review where you can capture your memories for life. Let’s get right into why we recommend this camera…

The Sony W300 we had on test was finished in an attractive gun metal grey. The dark grey suits it to a tee and makes it look very stylish and classy indeed. The all metal body feels very durable and strong. All controls have a positive, confidence-inspiring feel to them and their lay-out is logical and intuitive. Although the Cyber-shot W300 is really compact it is quite a sturdy camera, and you will certainly notice it if you carry it in your trouser pocket. Not to such an extent that people will start wondering if you are glad to see them or if that is a camera in your pocket, but its weight surely makes its presence felt. Read the rest of this entry »

Samsung P2 MP3 Player Review
Gadget Reviews

Samsung’s P2 is their flagship MP3/PMP device with many features, starring the full screen touch interface. Bluetooth also plays a supporting role in the feature set, giving the player the ability to connect to wireless headphones and to your mobile phone (in future updates).

The near-buttonless design comes together very nicely with a solid build quality common to Samsung’s portable devices. Wrapped inside this player is a well thought out interface that most people will be able to just pick up and use. Despite a few complaints, the P2 is definitely something to consider even though it commands a higher price than similar capacity MP3 players. Read the rest of this entry »
