Djay Controller for Pro use

I'm a Traktor user - have been for years. Use my trusty S4MK3 with it

I was playing with Djay and found it great fun, sadly the MK3 doesn't connect

What's our go-to equivalent controller? that new GRV thing from Pioneer?

Transferring share out to another platform

Hi

I am a UK Res with US stock from vested RSUs sitting on ETrade

I want to split my holding with my wife. Doing this with Etrade requires multiple phone calls and I'm done with how crap they are

In the US, If I set up an account with another US broker, can i transfer my holding without selling the shares? I dont want to take a CGT hit

thanks

Mixing post punk

What are peoples tips for mixing 1980s post punk tracks?
Some of the challenges are of course the production quality of some of the tracks but also that they span a wide range of tempos and have relatively few mix out mixing opportunities

Dark wave mix for your pleasure

https://on.soundcloud.com/UYoZMErL9KiYHQLABd

This is a dark wave or cold wave mix - inspired by post-punk and early 80s electronic music, mostly European. If you know the Dark Entries label you'll know exactly what you're getting into.

It opens gently with Pye Corner Audio & Faten Kanaan and Ghost Culture before getting into the meat of it.

The centrepiece is DAF's Der Mussolini, remixed here by Giorgio Moroder and Denis Naidanow. The original from 1981 is a landmark record - German industrial disco. This version holds up. Section 25's Looking from a Hilltop and Cabaret Voltaire's Yashar are from the same era and in the same territory - Factory and Rough Trade regulars.

Boy Harsher are the most contemporary act on the mix and one of the best working in this style right now. Depeche Mode's Bergsonist remix shows there's still mileage in their catalogue when the right people get hold of it.

Bauhaus close it out - which is fitting. They more or less invented this sound.

  1. Pye Corner Audio & Faten Kanaan — Mirror Lake
  2. Ghost Culture — Mouth (Dub)
  3. Chromatics — Tick of the Clock (Visione's The Stroke of Midnight Remix)
  4. Nommo Ogo — Behold
  5. Section 25 — Looking from a Hilltop
  6. DAF — Der Mussolini (Giorgio Moroder & Denis Naidanow Remix)
  7. Black Asteroid — Sun Explodes feat. Cold Cave (Headless Horseman Remix)
  8. Depeche Mode — Ghosts Again (Bergsonist's Shadow Mix)
  9. Boy Harsher — Pain (Radio Edit)
  10. Black Meteoric Star — 5am Open Air Sunrise (Borusiade Remix)
  11. Cabaret Voltaire — Yashar (Insurgent Mix)
  12. Severed Heads — Dead Eyes Opened (Reopened)
  13. Bauhaus — Here's The Dub

Product launches in this new era...

stick with me here folks..

In the good ol' days of B2B, we'd write the press release and get geared up for our news to break. We may hold back GA or we may combine launches to make a big splash. Some would fix a regular release window or perhaps scramble to catch up to something already launched.

When i speak to users they dont care. They have more important things to do than track every new thing from their vendors. And that's going to be 10x worse as AI starts to pump out more code.

A small % get excited about the latest thing and some want to hear proactively about the things they've asked for or need a fix for - but the majority?? meh.

Away from the 1 or 2 actual new market/product launches, why do we break ourselves?

Yes we have to get sales ready and ensure marketing is up to date.

But why would we not pivot to a model of launching (non-breaking) releases of all shapes and sizes on a weekly or biweekly cadence and automate the crap out of it. Yes i know we may have to adjust messaging, we may need to update pricing info - but really all that is going to be much easier in a agentic future

Then run flashy round ups to catch up customers with all the goodness they may have missed?? - say one a quarter - who's with me....?

AI: In > process > out

I see a lot of use cases for AI/Agents in PMM that talk a lot about the inputs & process, but not a lot on the output or consumption point

What i mean is - we use AI to do competitive intel, i can pull in insights from many sources on a regular basis and i can create an asset where that insight is written; it can be a google doc, an internal email or a markdown file. I can do this regularly

BUT what is the consumption point for my colleagues? i dont want to push out a deluge of slack messages or google docs otherwise they'll just get their Agents to read them

what creative ways are people using to distribute AI-generated insights to their sales and product peers?

Product release / launch with Ai Agents

Interested in any real example of how folks are using agents to automate product launches.

In particular how agents support the review and approval loops (legal, security, comms) + how you apply judgement to any customer (or seller) facing surfaces like changelog or in-product notifications.

I'm starting with the idea of 3 release 'paths' depending on the nature of the release ie

  1. silent changes / fixes that customers don't need to worry about beyond being notified there's an improvement
  2. feature improvements, where both sales and users need to be aware so they can take advantage
  3. major new capabilities, where we may have a packaging or implementation implication
