Plastinkus Introduces DJ Trading Cards
Designer Anton Schnaider has played on the idea of portable DJ trading cards to develop these Plastinkus dealios. About the size of a credit card and embedded with a textured surface, the Plastinkus is said to produce “scratching” sounds by rubbing your nail over the “record.” [FutureMusic]

Danley Sound Labs has unleashed the Matterhorn Subwoofer to the US military, which they claim is the world’s biggest to date. It repurposes a 20 x 8 x 8 foot shipping container as its enclosure and requires 40,000 watts of power.
The military uses these types of speakers to simulate battlefield action, but with the Matterhorn’s specs, they appear to be training for Thermonuclear War. [FutureMusic]

Vinyl mixing was murdered a few years ago and laptop mixing wasn’t even given a chance before someone slammed it’s LCD face into the ground as well. Folks let me introduce the touch screen turntable.
Technology! Wow. If you think about it, a touch screen turntable makes sense. We all said vinyl is dead but we sort of forgot it’s handy side kick, the turntable. Although with a turntable like this I’m not sure we can still call it a turntable, it doesn’t really ‘turn’. Slide, yes, Sildetable? Touchtable? Wavetable?
I’m sure the guys at Technics are scrambling to get on top of this one. If not, they might as well kiss their empire goodbye.

Moving your fingers up and down will scratch the record (wekka, wekka) like scratching a record on a turntable.
Moving your fingers left or right will move the cross fader accordingly.
