We are looking for in-store performers to come in and play for two-three hours on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The set up pictured above is what will be provided (two technics-1200’s, Pioneer DJM-800, Mackie sound system) and we are open to performers bringing in a few extra pieces to play off of. We will give the in-store performer 25% off all clothing and music, which must be used the day of the performance. Not to stifle any creative expression, however if you are interested you need to recognize that it is a retail store and music/noise levels will be appropriate for day time business (i.e. rocking our foundation will be considered excessive, however dancing is encouraged). Anyone interested in coming down to Vital should contact the following person:

Styleflip.com is providing DJ's and Producers with a new way to stick out from the pack. An online service that has just launched, Styleflip.com allows users to customize their gear by creating their own unique skins. Mike Tadros of Styleflip.com states that DJ gear and Pro Audio is currently available to get customized with MP3 Players, laptops, cell phones, video gaming systems, and a wider selection of DJ and Pro Audio gear to come in the future. Styleflips are made out of vinyl and coated with a clear laminate coating for additional protection. Ranging in price from $10 (USD) to $49.95 (USD) the service claims to turn any design into a unique protective layer that is easily applied and removed without leaving a mark. A service available to DJs and Producers all over the world, Styleflip is backing up their unique service with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
The site has been setup with the designer in mind allowing the user to upload, move and resize their images along with a preview that shows what the image will look like as they style it. The process even includes an optional information layer so the user can reinsert their knob control functions in whatever color they would like ensuring it goes well with their design.
After trying the ‘Style It' option on a variety of products, the immediate change from the “stock” look was noticeable and added a personalized flair. Perfect for the nightclub looking to brand their gear, the musician looking for a unique look, or anyone that wants to make their gear ‘theirs’, Styleflip.com seems to be a promising addition in the world of customization.
