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.
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.

One of my objectives at Musikmesse Frankfurt 2009 was getting the latest info on new Vestax gear.
To my surprise the Vestax booth was pretty small and didn’t really stick out between all the different manufacturers. I rather had a hard time finding their booth at all.
News at the Vestax booth were also pretty rare and to my surprise the exhibited products mainly focused on digital dj equipment. Only two turntables and a few mixers were issued.
About two weeks ago I stumbled across the following article:
“Controller DJs in Germany & Austria!
Vestax presents a new style battle for those who have mastered the skills of DJing with midi.
Send a 10min video of your mix with a Vestax midi controller to our German distribution wether via e.-mail or regual mail. The deadline is March 15th …
4 winners will be selected to battle at the finals in Frankfurt, April 3rd 2009.”
