Story-1:: A-Trakkkkkkk!
Overview: Turntablists and A-Trak fans, this one’s for you. RANE and A-Trak announced their collaboration today: an A-Trak take on Rane’s beloved Seventy mixer. It’s a limited edition battle mixer titled – you guessed it – the Rane Seventy A-Trak Signature Edition.
“I’m a big believer that every classic piece of kit should have a signature feature,” says A-Trak, “something that sets it apart from the rest.” Enter Fader FX, a new mixer feature that transforms the channel volume faders into linear controllers for performance effects like Filter, Roll, Pitch, Ring-Modulator, and four types of Oscillators. DJs can dive deep into the settings of these Fader FX options to change root keys, octaves, and more, crafting a personalized set of tools to take with them to their next performance or battle.
If you followed the site, followed me, been to my old condo, or headed to my current office. You will know not only am I an A-Trak fan, I am massive fan of his label Foolsgold Records and Turntable culture at large. The fact that he and his brother Dave1 (@Dave1 and @Chromeo) of Chromeo.

Story-3:: Chocolate X Fitness
Overview: If you have been following my instagram (@ReedDailey) stories, you will know that there has been an uptick in the number of posts on fitness and the work outs being excited. If you have not been following me, pause listening/reading and go do that now. Once again (@ReedDailey on Instagram and Twitter). Alright, back to the point of this story. So being a massive chocolate fan, am always on the hunt for solid chocolate recipes that don’t crush my macros. Came across this no-bake keto dessert, peanut butter chocolate bars from the good people over at Two Sleever. One can only assume this means bad ass with tats on both arms, just saying. This weekend, the Dailey Blend Team will be making and consuming a ton of these bad boys!

Story-4:: Phil Mickelson X Calf Content
Overview: Phil Mickelson can't stop, won't stop making (funny) calf-related content. Yes you heard/read that correct. Lefty himself might very well be my favorite person on the TV/Web/in my life. This video is priceless and the fact that these are actually his calfs makes it even funnier.
“After winning “Best Calves” for the 22nd straight year from the WCC (World Calve Committee) @AmstelLight is celebrating with these bad boys”
He is teaming up with his sponsor Amstel Light for the “Best Calves” content. There are a bunch of rules which we have linked to below and if you win you get a set of these pint glasses and let’s be honest, the crown of camp of the internet for a day!
