“Available worldwide now: AKAI APC 40″
Today AKAI released the APC 40 – Ableton Performance Controller. Ableton and Akai worked in a joint partnership to create the APC40, a Controller specifically designed as Ableton Live control surface.
To me this new Ableton controller looks very intresting and I really want to get my hands on it!

The first time I heard about controllerism was watching a video by Moldover on youtube.
Matt Moldover is known as “The Godfather of Controllerism”, and has become the inspiration for a new generation of DJs and musicians interested in moving “beyond the decks.”
Famous for building, hacking, and playing controllers with virtuosic skill, Moldover’s dynamic performances with his custom instruments, guitar, and Ableton Live software are bringing new life into electronic music and takes DJing to the next level.
I found this vid on youtube the other day. A new style of breakdance: fingers breakdance !!!
