Music 2002: Club Edition: Slinky - the ultimate dance music creator
Respected computer and video game developer Jester Interactive has announced a landmark new version of its multiple award-winning Music series for PC, which will be the first to be marketed under the Club Edition banner and is endorsed by UK super-club Slinky.

Due for release in July, Music 2002: Club Edition: Slinky marks the first time Jester Interactive has worked with a super-club, and the resultant package contains everything a practising DJ could need.

The easy-to-use software allows users to produce dance music using a series of beats, breaks and loops supplied by leading in-house Slinky DJs. A fully featured and user-friendly music and video creation system for PC, Music 2002: Club Edition: Slinky enables users to create, edit and produce tracks and produce accompanying videos with ease.

Using a simple yet effective cut and paste interface designed in conjunction with the club, Music 2002: Club Edition: Slinky allows users to piece together dance tracks using over 500 samples from the Slinky Pro-cut archives. The package also features 12 exclusive pro mixes from resident DJs such as Lisa Lashes and includes remixes of classic Slinky tracks, including Andy Passman's 'Future Is', Collective Minds' 'Waves Apart', MEDA's 'Universal' and Chris Hampshire's 'Deep Motion' and 'Hysteria.'

Beating at the heart of the package is a heavily reworked version of Jester Interactive's Music 2000 engine. Selecting beats and loops from those on offer or using imported ones, tracks are compiled within 99 channels, which are then automatically streamed into the final product. Pop up menus can then be used to alter the speed and tempo of tracks or add a wide range of audio effects, with users then saving their work out at .WAV files.

Tracks can also be enhanced with fully customisable 'videos', wherein the user can create breathtaking images to complement each track, with a secondary menu screen allowing users to select from pre-set effects or create their own. The package will also feature extensive videographies of the Slinky DJs featured.
