Finally a really innovative controller for DJs. If you know me and followed my setup, you know that i love to keep my controls handy and close to the mixer. I started with two nanopads, one for each deck located left and right to my mixer. Being really unsatisfied with the poor quality i moved to a nanokey and now i have ordered an Akai LPK25. What really kicks me with the Dicer is that you really need no space to set them up. The turntables are there anyway and that's all the space you need. What bugs me though is the price tag. 99 € seems pretty much for two pieces of plastic, rubber and a circuit board. What is good, is that they come in a pair. So if you're thinking about a smart device to control your loops & cuepoints, this might be the thing for you. I still will wait if this might be the kickoff for other companies to produce similar things with a lower price tag... 

Yeah yeah, I know it has been a while since my last post. But that is for a reason. I moved to Berlin for the duration of the FIFA Worldcup. I am working for the Skate-Hall Berlin as technician for their Public Viewing of the games. This wouldn't be worth a post if it was just for work, but as you can imagine i have some spare time as well. I moved in here with one of my oldest friends and actually THE guy i started making music with in 1993. So of course i brought my SP-12 with me which arrived from repairs just in time for my departure. Along with that i brought a turntable, my mixer, soundcard and bunch of other stuff. So if I am not working or partying we will be programming on a sample dump tool between the SP-12 and a computer or just programming some beats. The second best thing here is, that this is my first time in berlin i do actually have my own bike and don't have to rely on the BVG
