Prince Royce...Taking Bachata to the extreme -- and the mainstream.
There are few solo artists who dare to tackle performing bachata music at the international level. Fewer still embody the charisma and talent to make the genre their own in a way that no one has before. Geoffrey Prince Royce Rojashas done just that and then some with his self-titled debut album (certified Gold by the RIAA), a Latin GRAMMY® nomination (for Best Tropical Contemporary Album), and a tour de force first single, a bilingual, bachata cover of the timeless 1961 Ben E. King song, Stand By Me. Royce's rendition of Stand By Me stands as the first bachata song to be played on pop and R&B radio in the US; the video of the song has been viewed more than five million times on YouTube alone; factor in Royce's ubiquitous Latin TV appearances and global touring schedule and you've got the makings for one serious up-and-coming young artist. "I had envisioned this a long time ago so it feels right and very normal. I always had faith, almost a feeling of certainty that this would happen as long as I worked hard enough and focused on my music. Now the overwhelming feeling is one of gratitude," says Royce. Born and raised in the Bronx, Royce credits his drive and determination as well his positive attitude to the influence of his parents. "My mom had also dreamt of being a singer when she was young, so she was supportive from the very beginning, and together with my dad, they instilled in me that with hard work, persistence and focus I could achieve anything. Music has always driven me and kept me happy so it was easy to stay focused, positive and away from any negative distractions," he says. His initial exposure to bachata also came from his parents, both from the land of the bachata, the Dominican Republic. "They always instilled a strong sense of cultural identity and pride so I grew up listening to what all the other young people were into, hip hop, R&B, and pop, but also really loving bachata," he explains. "I just never expected that I would ultimately launch my career." Still, Royce promises that what will ultimately set him apart will "not be purely Bachata," but rather more of an urban experience within the tropical genre. "I want to take Bachata to another level, adding different elements to modernize it and make it more relevant to young people, while also maintaining a respect for the traditional sound I grew up loving", he says.

djay for iPad--algoriddim's full-fledged DJ app does it all
Your typical iPad app might not be enough to convince a seasoned DJ to go iPad-only, but then, a medium-sized, multi-touch surface can only come so close to replicating a turntable, right? Wrong: With djay for iPad, algoriddim has not only impressively mimicked traditional decks, they've added features that your average DJ setup doesn't have. ControlsSliders at the top let you adjust the gain for each track individually. Sliders on the left and right let you set the speed, plus and minus manually, or sync one track to the other automatically (within about a 10 percent BPM difference). If you have a mono/stereo headphone adapter, you can pre-cue in your headphones while the main mix is sent independently to your speakers. Add a crossfader (which it has, obviously), and you've got a pretty complete simulation of an actual deck. It doesn't feel the same, but with a little practice, djay can hold its own with the real thing. AutomationThe Automix feature can be a lifesaver: Should the situation call for it, you can cue up a playlist and leave djay running all night, or at least long enough for a trip to the bar, without ever having to touch it. You can set the transition style to Standard, Backspin, Brake or Reverse, or just set it to Random and let it seem like you're being creative the whole time. You can record a set ahead of time, too, and sync it to your Mac or PC with iTunes.
