Native Instruments put up another nice commercial clip of Traktor Scratch Pro and Kontrol X1 in action.
This time its legendary 5x DMC World Champion DJ Craze who’s taking things to the next level in this new turntablism / controllerism routine.
Craze is using the X1 to trigger cue points on both decks while performing some serious beatjuggling.
Everyone wants to know the deal about what to get: Traktor or Serato!?!
So here’s Dj Q-Bert using both systems side by side in a quick demo for you to see yourself!
Check the vid to get an impession of Q scratching the time code vinyls on both digital vinyl systems.
This one is a cool new Japanese commercial campaign for Nike’s Free Run+ running shoes.
The vid shows Hifana playing a creazy live performance with flexible running shoes.
Daito Manabe – Turntablist and Sound Artist from Japan – uses flex sensors and accelerometers to make the shoes interactive and converts the control signal to sound using the modular visual programming environment Max/MSP and Ableton’s Max for Live.
This little ‘commercial’ has been put up by Native Instruments on youtube.

I really dig DJ Enferno and his amazing Live Remix Project (LRP).
“The Live Remix Project is a one-man symphony incorporating turntables, instruments, effects and samplers that combines musical virtuosity with technical proficiency.
DJ Enferno records sounds from his turntables and keyboards and then affects and mixes those sounds live. Instead of mixing between two turntables, he is managing up to 20 sources of sound at a time.

Moldover’s new Album Circuit Board Instrument is out! The new CD, over 3 years in the making, not only delivers gorgeously diverse music with meaning and musical mastery, it completely redefines what it means to “play an album”…
Moldover’s CD packaging itself is a new musical instrument! The CD is mounted on a custom designed circuit board, intricately patterned and powering a “light-Theremin”. You play the artwork and it makes sound! Only the musical supervillain genius of Moldover could develop something so stunningly innovative.
The first time I heard about controllerism was watching a video by Moldover on youtube.
