Good lord that was horrid. Why did this have to be my first post EVAAAR?!

Because I love the search box. I've been lurking here for a while now...so, formally: Hello.

uurgh that was so difficult to watch

Yes...it is a horrible "infomercial" BUT;

I can see pre-recorded music being spun at clubs this way with that gadget.
Im VERY surprised that the regulars who clown "microwave DJ's" have yet to comment. This gadget could easily replace Serato, and the Pro DJ forever.

Hello amadora!
koolionyc 5:50 PM - 8 April, 2008
As great as I think Serato is, my 18 plus years of DJ experience - puts me in the same "playing field" as someone who understands, and grasps technology like myself.

This gadget, like Serato could / can easily eliminate DJ's who worked years on skill and craft.

For further and final clarification, I am NOT jabbing at Serato, or even new technology. I keep up on technology more than the average DJ, even if I cant afford the toy / gadget of the moment.

Damn, it sounds like really bad porn music.
Crickett 7:37 PM - 8 April, 2008
I'm going to fucking shoot myself.
Illuminatty 8:22 PM - 8 April, 2008
That's pretty horrible.
sopranosupasta 8:39 PM - 8 April, 2008
what is that thing? an ipod that only plays samples when you break the light. thats so Dale.
De LA 8:48 PM - 8 April, 2008
For $600, you can pay me and Ill show you how to look like a retard batting at the air too.
deejay barber 9:01 PM - 8 April, 2008

cappinkirk 9:01 PM - 8 April, 2008
wtf is that?????????????????????????

And you wonder why Sharper Image can't afford to honor their own gift cards . . .

It's because they peddle crap like that.

Well, maybe those competitive air band people can find some use for it. If I saw that in a club, I'd break random beams just to mess with the "dj" behind the booth.
deejay barber 9:56 PM - 8 April, 2008
what will happen if you stick a mirror in front of the beam, or better yet, shoot a laser pointer back into the emmiter?
Logisticalstyles 1:08 AM - 9 April, 2008
I don't see this changing the music game, but I can see me wasting alot of time with this at the crib. It would make a cool party game, on some George Jetson type shit.

i think the "performers" are hilarious in the video. "Jam Session" was the best.
latinblood2k1 1:33 PM - 10 April, 2008
lol the performers on 2:07 are hilarious especially the dude on the left

The images in this video will haunt my mind for many years to come.
society 8:43 PM - 10 April, 2008
This thing is the shittiest piece of shit I've seen in a while. All of those sounds were total trash--everything sounded like it was off a shitty Casio from Wal-Mart. If it sent MIDI information, that might be different...
cappinkirk 1:21 PM - 11 April, 2008
That sound has to be prerecorded. Don't assume that someone playing live would really sound that perfect. Especially the shwagfaces they have in that video.
sopranosupasta 1:52 PM - 11 April, 2008
I just bought one of these, and im using it instead of SSL. its awesome. I play the piano sample on loop and tap in the drums.... its awesome. the crowd goes nuts.
cappinkirk 2:20 PM - 11 April, 2008
where are you at sopranosupasta? I need to come see you so i can punch you in the face lol
sopranosupasta 6:49 PM - 11 April, 2008
lmao.....i would hope so.....

I like the part @ 2mins when the 2 guys battle it out island style. Battle dj's beware!
DJ Chaos 1:49 AM - 20 April, 2008
looks like hes fingering the air..lol
DJ Nick Lee 2:15 AM - 20 April, 2008
This thing is just so corney. Who the hell is gonna pay two twinks to stand on a stage and have a "jamaican jam session"
KitK 6:27 AM - 20 April, 2008
My god that is total corn. Please don't subject me to that horrible excuse for a toy.

Swing your dong in the beams and create your own porn music, like stated above.
