This is THE running gag in Germany lately. It’s an audiosampler with Sven Väth’s voice.

There are a lot of digital DJ systems out there now but I have yet to see one that got it right. That’s why I made the MXS. The MXS is a portable, easy to use DJ interface for people who are interested in DJing but do not want to commit to buying a full setup.

How does it work?
The MXS interface connects to a laptop via USB and manipulates audio files on your PC. The software is written in MAX/MSP.

The Breadboard Band is a performing band that uses breadboards made of freely constructed electronic circuits to play music. We produce audio and visual expression through the most minimal, fundamental elements in the form of showing the electronic components of an instrument while directly touching and forming the electronic circuit by hand. The electric signals released from hand-made electronic circuits releases extremely rough and ferocious wave patterns. This performance is based on improvisational interplay, and we pull powerful music into shape through each member’s operation, while discovering new sounds by hand.
