Be the Life of the Party With the Pokketmixer

In 2009 Christian Komm found himself on a road trip from Berlin to Amsterdam with a carload of passengers who couldn’t agree on what they should listen to. Komm, a radio and television technician, knew he had to come up with a solution, so he developed the Pokketmixer, a hand held, powerless device that allows the user to seamlessly mix music anytime and anywhere without power.

This useful device will guarantee that you will be the talk of the moment. It comes in seven colors — black, silver, blue, red, purple, gold and green. All you have to do is plug two MP3 players into the Pokketmixer, and one sound comes out. Use the crossfader to fade out one song while bringing in another, and the equalizer to tweak the bass, and there you have it — you’re a DJ!

“The Pokketmixer is the first mobile mini DJ mixer for everybody, it’s easy to use and — since it needs no power supply — it’s very versatile. It’s easy to wire up and is ready in just 30 seconds,” says Robert Thomalia, who founded the Pokketmixer company along with Komm. “It is able to cross fade between stereo audio signals, you can preview listen and equalize.”

You don’t need a complicated and pricey Serato, or heavy turntables to become a DJ. Just get the Pokketmixer and you can bring the party with you anywhere. Everyone will be intrigued by what you’re doing.

“I always like to take it with me to a party or an event and to use it there to interact with strangers,” says Thomalia. “Cause with the Pokketmixer you never stay alone for long.”

Paul Giamatti in Black Mirror

Black Mirror started its life as a niche science fiction anthology show on Netflix, but the British series expanded its reach and popularity as the episodes started to blend into contemporary world issues more and more. It's no secret that the world we live in keeps getting scarier, whether that be due to the upheaval in politics or the uncertainty of artificial intelligence and climate change altering our world forever. Good TV's ability to mirror real life makes it culturally relevant, and it leaves fans craving even more of it.

With fans waiting patiently to find out if Black Mirror season 8 will be greenlit at Netflix, there are several alternatives that you can check out after finishing season 7.

Not every movie on Netflix is worth your time, but the streaming service definitely makes plenty of movies that are worth seeking out. Havoc, which hit the streamer on Friday, is one such movie, and part of the reason it's worth seeking out is the extraordinary talent both in front of and behind the camera.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the movie follows a detective who must track down a politician's son in the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong. As he climbs deeper and deeper into the criminal underworld, he begins to appreciate just how much corruption he's facing and kills a lot of people along the way.

Miami Vice is coming back to the big screen. Almost 20 years after Michael Mann adapted the '80s series to the big screen, Joseph Kosinski is set to direct a new adaptation of the film. Universal Pictures will produce the film, which is being adapted by Dan Gilroy.

Plot details for the movie are not yet available, but the original series follows a pair of detectives who work undercover in South Florida. Mann was involved in both the original series and the first theatrical adaptation, which starred Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. That movie was a box office bomb and received mixed reviews at the time, but has since become something of a cult film in certain circles.
