Touchscreen turntables are sexy - I want one
by Adam on Jul.31, 2008, under Events, News
What you’re looking at here is the ATTIGO: TT, created by Dundee University student Scott Hobbs, and it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
With the ATTIGO, users can mix, scratch and drop beats by manipulating the waveforms using the touch-screen interface. So it’s kind of like having a robot girlfriend, except this baby doesn’t make you brush your hair and visit it’s parents. Speaking of parents, this thing is like the lovechild of a dalek and one of the guys out of Daft Punk.
There’s a video of this thing in action after the jump. Hit the link.
Are you a DJ?

Are you a DJ? Would you like somewhere nice and fancy to host your sets, demos, mixtapes or original songs? Then maybe we can help you out, and you can help us. We’d be happy to host your mp3 files for free, if they’re any good.
The benefit of this is that you’ll have an easy website address to link to rather than http://somerandondomhostingsite.com/fdhgadghdjhgkffaghjghaghajj.html. You’ll get http://www.angelbreaks.co.uk/yoursetname.mp3, which is nice and easy to remember. We’ll create a unique page for you to put graphics on if you want, as well as tracklistings and a description that can be as long or as short as you want, and we want nothing in return - except for perhaps the odd link back to the blog (the page with your tracklisting is fine).
We can also pass your tapes on to promoters and organisers who might want to put you on at their night - or maybe we’ll put you on ourselves (and yes, we pay).
If you’re interested, send an email to Adam with a description of your music, and maybe a few links to some music, or even the whole set if it’s hosted at one of the rubbish sites Please do not try and attach the set to the email, my account will not accept a file that large.
So get going!
