do they still use cassettes in the music industry in the 4-track format? I am sure the mainstream has gone all digital just wasn't sure if they still used them or not.

There are some bands that I guess would be considered part of a "lo fi" scene that I can't imagine ever recording or producing an album with a DAW. I don't know if you can even get 4 track cassettes anymore though so I don't know what they do now, maybe they convinced themselves as long as they stay analog they are still "lo fi" Not like you can't produce the same thing digitally if you had to but its more of a DIY ethos thing than anything audio driven.
I promised I'd come back to the newer dance stuff too. Admittedly since I quit DJing, or DJing as a job at least, I have barely been keeping up with new stuff at all, so this isn't the "latest and greatest" but its stuff I was playing out a couple years ago and still dig now.
I don't know if any of you guys are familiar with Baltimore Club music (also called "Bmore" a lot online I guess). I lived outside of DC and played in Baltimore all the time too, and its really big there. The premise is that its very simply produced, uses a few specific drum breaks for the most part, and will sample literally anything. If you were around for the rave heyday and remember UK Breakbeat Hardcore, this stuff will sound familiar. People seem to either love it or hate it. It blew up when Diplo go put on to it especially and was pretty popular for a time as far us underground music goes maybe like 5ish years ago but it was always and still is big in Baltimore. My good friend and partner in another past project produces "Club Music" (for short in Baltimore) and he's got some bangers out there, a few of them are below.
Most of the newer original/non remix stuff from the past 5 years or so gets pretty low. If you are feeling any of it, here are a few like 10-ish minute mini mixes I made back in the day that I would use so I could go take a piss or holler at a girl for a few minutes or something.
Club Mini Mix 1 http://www.divshare.com/download/19549565-3e3
Tribe Called Quest - Find A Way (Scottie B Remix)
Lenny Kravitz - Go My Way (Tob Billin Remix)
Scottie B & Spruce Lee - Sex Machine
Club Mini Mix 3 http://www.divshare.com/download/19549624-1c2
Scottie B ft Sagat & Yo Majesty - Fuk Dat Now
DJ Anonymous - U Fine
Cajmere & Dajae - Brighter Days (DJ Sega Philly Club Remix)
This is a remix of that corny but popular song so you can compare to the original and kind of understand what makes these songs Baltimore Club.
Rod Lee - Dance My Pain Away (CLASSIC)
DJ Technics - Mr Postman (CLASSIC)
DJ Class - Tear Da Club Up
Blaqstarr - Ryda Girl
James Nasty - Them Do It Horns
Blaqstarr ft Rye Rye - Shake It To the Ground (don't even bother without a subwoofer lol)
DJ Class - I'm the Shit
MOP/DJ Tittsworth - Ante Up Remix (disclaimer, this may make you start punching people in the face)
Count Of Monte Cristal - Bmore Forward
DJ Debonair Samir - Samir's Theme
Cajmere - Perolator (Technically this isn't Baltimore Club but its one of the songs that inspired the guys that first started making it)
OK my eyes are gonna bleed if I don't stop for now.
when i get informed and purchase a system im going to be playing, meshuggah, pictureplane, riff raff, lil b(#taskforce), Mykki Blanco, asap crew, flatbush zombies, danny brown, house of ladosha, T.R.A.M., Chimp Spanner, Tesseract, Fleetwood Mac, Kurt Rosenwinkle, :B any one here fans of any of those bands?

Was front row at a Five Finger Death Punch show last year, and front row for Halestorm twice last year, one of them was the FFDP show. I've been trying ever since to get my truck to sound like that. LOL

All you metal guys need to run, don't walk, and get Device's debut CD, or run to your computer and download it. It just came out this past Tuesday, and sounds awesome in my truck.
I know right! I wore Vilify out on youtube til I got the cd. Love it!

Really, last Tuesday was Metal Christmas. Device, Volbeat, Stone Sour, and Drowning Pool all had albums drop last Tuesday, and all four of them are fairly badass. I wasn't sure which to start with, so I just loaded them all in a playlist and hit shuffle.

Sounds like a heavier version of Disturbed (I know ...same singer, both bands) and is pretty good. Just got a hold of a copy of Klank's old 1st release, I think, and is breakin' in the new Elite.5 pretty well along with the new Fear Factory and Sybreed.

Villify does, but the rest of it is more akin to what Nine Inch Nails would sound like with David Draiman singing. Device is more or less an electronic industrial project, where Disturbed is more of a straight type of metal. They are different sounds overall if you go through the whole album, though the vocals are obviously identical. The cover of Ozzy's "If I Close My Eyes Forever" with Lzzy Hale, and "Opinion" with Tom Morello are damn good tracks, and the bonus tracks are worth the extra money to buy the Deluxe edition.
Tons of free song downloads. I usually grab two or three a week from there. Discovered several artists from there as well.

do an artist search and look up "Spag Heddy". he has a bunch of tracks on there, and nothing hits on a car system like his music. he has I think three albums on itunes as well. his remixes aren't as good as his original work, so keep that in mind. I found his music on that site, then went to itunes and bought the rest. you'll blow your subs if you aren't careful though.
