• DJ QBert’s new vinyl release includes conductive-ink controller

    Following up on his successful Kickstarter campaign, the world-renowned DJ QBert has helped innovate a new style of interactive album artwork.  A sandwich of traditional printed graphics, conductive ink, and a small circuit board, squish together all the components that create a 12-inch DJ-controller.  It’s battery powered and connects via bluetooth to iOS and OSx devices that can run the Algoriddim DJAY app.  

    Some might argue with the Kickstarter campaigns claim to have created the “WORLD’S FIRST INTERACTIVE ALBUM PACKAGING”, but first or not there’s no denying it’s an impressive piece of work. The video below shows a bit more of the technology and what it looks like to assemble the artwork.
