0:00 Anyone from V-Moda in the house?

This is a very, very closely run category and it finally went to V-Moda with their M100s. Anyone from V-Moda in the house? Thank you. Thank you to DJ Mag and all the DJ Mag readers for voting for us. We appreciate it. You can see our headphones here at the show at DJ Tutor's booth here, F46. And you can also buy them on Amazon.co.uk. It's military-grade steel, Kevlar cabling makes it virtually indestructible. Headphone of the Year for DJ Mag, Headphone of the Year for CNET and 10 Editors' Choice Awards makes this the best headphone this year, so go check it out for sure. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, your best headphone ever. I'm going to give one last shout-out for Pioneer before I'm going to have to go and drag them off by a bit of a neck. They're not here.

Thank you very much for your time this afternoon. This has been the DJ Mag Tech Awards, but before you leave, I'd like to bring your attention to... Alright ladies and gentlemen, BPM NEC 2013, and I'm on the Laser World stand, and we're now going to see a stunning laser show. Take it away guys. Ladies and gentlemen, BPM 2013, I'm on the Cam Lamber stand. I have a good friend of mine, Graham, and something that should have been done a very, very long time ago. is incorporate LEDs with smoke machines. So, Graham, give us the spec. What's going on here? This is a 1600 watt smoke machine with tri-colour LEDs. Remote control has DMX so you can choose the colour. Better turn it off now. And as you can see it has a very, very large and high output. Yes, very much so. So, wireless remote control, DMX control, large vertical smoke machine. I do like that.

12:06 Remote control, machine, timer remote

Do you know roughly the retail of that? It's not set at the moment, but it will be around about the £359 mark. More for the professional market. Gotcha. OK. We are still in September 2013. So on the street now or soon? Soon. Hopefully in store end of November. Fantastic. OK. Next to it, what do we have? Next to it we have a combo machine, it's a haze machine and a smoke machine. That's good. And you have red 3 watt LEDs just to colour the smoke, not tri-colour. Yep. Timer remote control, wireless remote control, and an adjustable fan at the back to help you change between smoke and haze. Okay, I mean would you say that's more pro end club, this is more suitable for mobile DJ? Mobile DJ. Yeah, gotcha. £139 retail.

But you can't complain about that. I mean, I remember years ago, well even now, you're going to pay double that for a decent smoke machine but you've got LEDs in there as well. LEDs, timer remote. Lovely, very nice. Do like that. Again, on the street, when are we looking at? Again, same sort of time. Pretty much they're all coming in in time for Christmas. Fantastic. So it should be end of November. Okay, small little beauty here. Yeah, that's sort of the entry level. A 400 watt smoke machine, comes with a button remote control and manual button on the top. Also incorporated just small LEDs on the front. Wow, I didn't see those, that is fantastic. And street price of £39. You are joking. So quite affordable for mobile DJs, house parties etc. 39 quid? That's very good, with the LEDs, wonderful. This one here?

A vertical and horizontal machine. In the position it's in at the moment, it's vertical and obviously the exits from the units at the top. But this does allow you to turn it up and lay it on its front and use it as a horizontal machine. And again, wireless remote control. No LEDs on that one. Street price is around about £169 I believe. Okay, and the last one I presume in the series? There's another one at the back. This is our KSM 1100, wireless remote control and corded remote control. Again, with the 3 watt LEDs on the front. Street price £79. Very good, very good. Haze, isn't that? So the last smoke machine, this is the big one. It's a 2000, 2 kilowatt heater in there. Timer and remote control. Again, more for your clubs, large mobile discos.

15:02 What we've done is we've brought our range of five cases in both model

Thank you very much indeed, Graham. Once again, all these products are from CAM. If you do want any information on these smoke machines, stroke haze machines as well, then check out the link in the description. It will take you to the CAM website. Thank you very much. Practice and enjoy. We have some cases, sir. We do indeed. This is a new product for us, a new range skeleton case. What we've tried to do is do something a little bit different to everybody else for a change. We have two ranges of cases, the pro style case and the full flight case. The difference being pro style, rounded corners, slightly different finish, and then your traditional full flight case. What we've done is we've brought our range of five cases in both models. We're calling them a universal flight case because that's exactly what they are. Between the range of the five cases, they will fit pretty much any mixer, any controller,

Any CDJ on the market. And the idea is it's picked foam, which is probably easier if I show you on this one. Yeah, yeah. So you choose your case for the size and as you'll see, the foam is pre-cut. So you can pick tiny bits out. Yeah. Yeah, fantastic. So you pick the pieces out and then obviously fit your product inside. Yes. Great. The beauty of this is, obviously cases are generally designed for... A specific product? Yes. So if you were to buy a product and you buy your flight case, and maybe as a beginner, you would start off with a small controller or a basic mixer. Yeah. You choose your mixer, two or three months later you decide you want to change the product, you need to buy a new case. This you don't need to. What we do now is you grab hold of the corner and you pull the insert out. Yeah, great. You replace the insert. And then you pick again for the size of the next product.

Yeah, fantastic. Within reason, you don't have to necessarily keep buying flight cases. Yeah, which is an expense. The trouble is with the flight case, as you know, everyone should know, it's quite an expense. If you're going to spend £400 or £500, you buy a flight case, it's going to cost you another £100. Exactly. You don't want to then spend another £100 on another flight case just because you bought another product. So for a small fee, you can change the... The DJ Tutor, the DJ Tutor, the DJ Tutor. CD players, controllers, you can use them for lighting, you can use them for radio mics or really anything. Anything isn't it? Yeah exactly. Fishing tackle if you want. Camera, yeah. And again an idea is... Vibrators. Whips and chains and what have you.

But the other thing you could do is maybe if you bought the largest case first, even if you had a small controller to start with, you could fit your radio mics, your iPod, etc. in the side. Very true, yeah. And then as you start to expand and get better controllers, the case is already there for you. Because that, I mean, you know, you could put that that way, and then, as you say, you've got room for any power supplies, microphone, yeah, etc. But then, you know, after you've been DJing a while and you decide you want to go for an expensive controller, you've already got the case. Yeah, great. And of course, I noticed the lids have got foam, but it's the... There's one just down there. Yeah, one there. That's it, yeah. So, yeah, very nice. This is the sort of stuff, similar sort of stuff you have on walls, isn't it, for studios? Yeah, fantastic. All right, once again, if you do want any more information on these products, don't hesitate. Go to the CAM website. It's cam...

Thank you very much. Right, we have some portable PA here. Normally you'd associate a speaker with, yeah, maybe an amplifier, but this is slightly more intricate. What's going on here, Graham? This is really a complete kit. You get, and this particular version is a 12-inch speaker. It comes with two handheld VHF radio mics. Yep. And echoes of karaoke announcements, etc. But in the back, we have an MP3 player. Which gives you USB connection and SD card reader. Very good. FM radio. Right. But the beauty of this one is it's also Bluetooth. So any of your iPhones, iPads, any Bluetooth device, you can sync up to the unit and play your music directly through. Great. Also, it has a battery, so it's rechargeable. It will run off the mains if you're doing any outside work, marquees or anything like that. Yeah.

Ideal for some of the DJs that if you're doing a wedding and they want background music during the day and speeches and you don't want to be there. Yeah, and you don't have to take a whole load of PA and whatnot. You can take one of these, pop it on the speaker stand, give them the mics, they've got two microphones for their speeches, background music, etc. Obviously available in the 15-inch as well. But as you said, because it's got Bluetooth, you can supply music but also you can say to the clients, You can supply your own music as well? Absolutely. You know, as you say, you can just Bluetooth, some guy turns up, he's got his favourite track, he wants it played, Bluetooth it and there you go, he or she can have their favourite track played. It saves the DJ being there all afternoon, standing around, you could give a higher charge to the... Very quick, what's the street on that? This one, 219. Right. And on the 15 will be 259. I mean, I'm thinking out loud here.

20:24 Pub quizzes, things like that, and again aerobics or anything

For a DJ who is always trying to add on the extras, you could probably add another £50 or £60 to your night. You've only got to do three or four of those and he's paid for it. Think about that, that's good. Pub quizzes, things like that, and again aerobics or anything. It's nice and lightweight, it comes on the trolley, trolley handle. And also as well, battery powered, so... It can go anywhere, can't it? Absolutely. I do like that because there's so many times, as you know, when you go to an event and they want an extra PA but they want it in a place where you've got to start having cables running everywhere, extension cables. Nothing like that here. And again with weddings on site at the hotels, you can play the music out in the garden. Yeah, exactly. A lot of opportunities to use that. Nice and lightweight.

You also get a remote control for your MP3 player. So you have distance remote control, two wireless microphones. That's very nice. And again, ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested in this, go and check out the CAM website, cam.co.uk. Thank you very much. Alright ladies and gentlemen, if you're not familiar with CDPool, you should be by now or... Well, you will be very soon because I'm going to show you one of the directors of CDPool. You are, aren't you? Yeah, that's right. You are. Well, CDPool is all about music for the mobile and the club DJs. So without further ado, I will pass you over to... What's your name, sir? It's Tim. This is the final day, BPM. It's Monday. We're all tired. We've got a sore throat. We've been sucking away at the mints all day to keep going.

But what we have seen, lots of DJs here, mainly mobile DJs and what they're all looking for is new tunes. Alright so new tunes, what do you do? Come on. What I want you to do, imagine you are doing this video to someone who has not got the foggiest about CDPool. What's happening? First thing we do, get on tour to record companies and get their tunes two to four weeks ahead of release. Every DJ wants the tune as soon as it's on the radio. Someone's on the radio playing it, you need to have it. This is what we provide. So, disc number one, our radio disc gives you 20 tunes two to four weeks ahead of commercial release so when the guy's on the radio playing it, you too can have that. Then every Thursday

We send you a digital download, keeping you up to date with the latest releases. Nice. On top of that, you get the dance mix. You get the R&B tune, then along comes the dance mix of that tune. You've got that covered as well. That's what most of our DJs go for. Nice. It takes all the problem away. They don't need to go to iTunes. They get it all at 320. Which is far better. Which is far, far better. And that's the pack they go for. Nice. £30 a month. Your music's sold. And that is it, £30 a month, fantastic. 60 tunes, £30, 50p a tune, everything you want. You do not need to buy another tune all year. Everything that goes top 40, everything on the radio playlist, it's yours. Then, if you're in the club DJ, we go one step further with all the 12-inch mixes.

We've got the house, we've got the trials, we've got the soulful fuss, we've got the techno. So whatever you want, it's there online, you can find it, you can preview it, or you come to BPM and find us. Exactly. But if you're not coming to the show, cdpool.com, have a look, see what you like, and if it's not there, email us and we'll find it for you. Okay, very quickly as well, just explain because a lot of people in the videos I do, they say why can't we get... CDport in the USA. Can you explain why? Licensing. We are licensed by the PPL and the MCPS, and that is only a pan-European license. Different rules and regulations in the US. Sorry guys, we can't help you out at the moment. Okay, so what specific countries, areas can buy from you? Everybody, UK and Europe. Okay, thank you very much. And also, something that I do like.

Immensely. Classic beats. The big binders, what we've done here is taken all those big classic 12s which we know we all got somewhere on vinyl, they're all in the loft, they're all in the shed, we got them but we can't find them. So if it's Sister Sledge, if it's Soul to Soul, it's here, it's on a 12, it's been remastered, it's on the CD and it's all there for you in three collections. 60 odd CDs, bundles of tunes and it's great fun. It could be Sharon Brown, I Specialise in Love, it's there. Nice one, fantastic. And again, if you want to check it out, information on this, go to cdball.com. Alright, it has been as ever a pleasure. Thank you very much indeed. Practice and enjoy. Cheers a lot. Bye.

25:36 Your name, I believe, is Marcus, right?

Alright, we're going. Your name, I believe, is Marcus, right? My name is Marcus. Alright, and where do you work? West End DJ. West End DJ. We're at the BPM show NEC 2013. Alright, what's hot? What's happening? Hot right now, DDJ-SXs, Pioneer, XDJR1's ultimate mobile DJ tool. One of the hottest things right now. Also, all these, all the visuals, the LED screens... Loving it? Everything's going on. Things like pixel patterns. They're very sweet, aren't they? Really, really cool. Loads of built-in patterns and obviously you can map it all yourself. Nice. What we're doing here at BPM 2013, you can actually take the stock away with you today. Loads of stock, over £100,000 worth of stock we've brought with us to the show. And there's no point thinking you can come here and nick it because probably by the time you're watching this video, it's all going to be back.

31:34 Thank you for coming, it's been great

In your warehouse. Well, no, that's if you guys haven't bought it already. Once it's gone, it's gone. Right, fantastic. So, your best seller? Best seller, honestly, I think it's the DDJ-SXs, but the best freebie has got to be these ultra cool limited edition West End ETA glasses. Come to a show. Do you reckon I should have a pair of them? I think you should. I think I should take the camera and give them to you. What do you reckon? All right guys, we're in the main arena checking out Shovey and a rather stunning light show. Just want to say on behalf of Shovey, thank you for all coming. It's the first time we've run an event like this so we were a bit nervous to see how many people turned up. And then the emails started coming in and I thought, oh Christ, I'll have to order more rolls. So thank you for coming, it's been great. While I'm here, I just want to also say a massive thank you to Arm Productions. They've been running the arena for years now and it's because of them that we had the idea to do this breakfast. They made the place look stunning last year and have done an even better job, in my opinion, this year.

If you don't mind, I'd just like to give them a bit of a round of applause. So thanks everyone. If there's still food left, please eat it up and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Cheers. Ladies and gentlemen, on the Chauvet stand with the legend known as Sam, which is quite sad because he is like the all-seeing eye for Chauvet. He knows everything. So we've got some new exciting products. Let us know, what have we got? This is the Intimidate Spot 100 IRC. It's a new moving head that we've brought to the show. Really, really fast pan and tilt. That is very fast. Yeah. It's really bright, really small, really light. Yes. You can go on any small rig, anything like that. You can use a remote control to activate it and to go through the different gobos and colours and the different auto programs. So it's a really handy unit for the mobile DJ and comes in at a really nice price, about $350 list.

So it's quite cheap for a moving head. The power of the LED in there? It's a 15 watt. That's good, very good. Okay, so another new unit we have here is the Swarm 5. The Swarm 4 has been a really popular unit for years and the Swarm before that was popular as well. What we've done with the Swarm 5 is we've taken the classic swarm effect, we've added strobe and laser as well. So you have a mini laser in the middle, you have a strobe around the outside As well as the classic Swarm Effect. And it's just really cool, one box, three effects. Retail roughly do you know? Is around £220. Okay and when can this be expected to be on the street? It should be in stock for November. And that's November 2013. Alright, nice one thank you. So moving on over to here we have, this is called a Core 3x3.

The core product, there's two in the range. There's the Core 3x3 and the Core 3x1. 3x3 is 9 pixels, so you can operate each pod of this individually. It's called chip-on-board technology, which is a really kind of bright source with a reflector around it to give you a nice block of color. They are very, yeah, it's warm. It's a warm glow, isn't it? Yeah. It's not intense, just nicely warm. But you can pixel map this if you have pixel mapping software, or you can run it in auto mode. And you can get kind of that old classic retro DJ. We have some here running on Beck and that's how it runs together. I don't know if you remember, ladies and gentlemen, prior to this particular demonstration by Sam, Chauvet had their demonstration in the main arena and you had this underneath each of the DJ booths, didn't you? That's stunning. Fantastic.

So moving over to here, we have a unit called the beam bar. The beam bar is a really, really cool effect. You have five 15 watt LEDs in a row that create a parallel beam. Unfortunately there's not enough haze here to really see it. This creates a super tight pin spot. So on this unit you have macro effects so you can run them nice and fast together with lots of different shapes, create lots of different beams in the air. I mean, there it is. Yeah, and that's it. Yeah, very good. I can imagine that would look very... It would look wonderful, gruesome because you say it would cut through anything because when you've got 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 65 watts. Yeah, very good. And again, this is one of those products that a DJ can take out and put on his travelling rig.

36:24 Moving on into our Slim Power range

He can take it out and put it on his travelling rig or, you know, we've just launched it, we've just shown it in the arena. So it goes from the smallest gig to the biggest one. Yeah, fantastic. And it has its little counterpart which is the Beam Shop. One single beam, same source. And again, that's been a really popular unit. We launched these at Frankfurt earlier this year and have not been able to keep hold of them since. So moving on into our Slim Power range. The Slim Power Quad 12 has been around for a while now, that's an RGBA unit. And along with that we have the Slim Power Quad 6 and also a Slim Power Quad 3. So now you have a full range of these units. The nice thing about an amber colour in a power can

Is that you can get really nice warm fiery colors from it say yeah um previously if you wanted to create a color like that you'd have to use red and green and you always get this kind of pale anemic sort of looking yellowy type color yes but you can see there's a real difference in the orange thing very much so that very intense um different sizes yeah yeah to suit your needs yes uh we also have here the Freedom Power Quad 5. We launched the Freedom Powers a while ago, it's a DeFi unit so it uses wireless DMX, has a lithium ion battery inside that will last for 8 hours of full white. So actually when you're running it in this kind of format, one colour, it lasts for a lot longer. So just really good units if you want a quick setup, you run in, you drop five of these around somewhere and boom, you're done.

The nice thing about having the quad unit here as well is the wash colours that come out of this really good, really homogenised wash so there's no haloing of colour or anything like that. It's really good. So the final two products we have. That is very small and petite isn't it? This is very small and petite. It's called a Wedge Tri. There's my hand. Basically this unit has been designed for one specific purpose which is to be sold with DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. The DJ having their console set up directly in the centre of there. You've got your light trussing rig, you don't need anything else. And it's really quick to put up. It comes with nice sort of quickies latches. So when you're taking it apart and putting it together, there's no time at all. Nice one. That's a good little unit. And then the final one that I'm going to show you is a new unit and it's called the Slimpar Hex.

So, we've seen tri-colour LEDs, we've seen quad colour LEDs. This is a hex LED. This has red, green, blue, amber, white and UV. Wow! So the colours that you can get from this are basically limitless. Optic wise, again it gets a really homogenised colour out of there, the wash is really even. So you don't get haloing, you get good colour coming out of it. Got a nice strong UV so you can create some really cool colours with that. That's very bright. Indeed, yeah I like it. Again, very good for uplighting, especially, again, wedding DJs, so the bride wants a certain pink, you can get that certain pink, can't you? You don't have to worry about, well I can Sam, as ever it has been a pleasure. All the products you see now are at the BPM show NEC 2013 and some of them may not be out when this video is uploaded but of course

40:58 We achieved pretty great success, voted number 25 in the world

Give it time and the products will all be out on the street at the, you know, sort of round about what you say October, November? Yeah. 2013. Again, prices do fluctuate depending on when you watch this video. So thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much to Sam. Chauvet Lighting, BPM, practice and enjoy. Thank you, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, we're on the extender mix stand here at the BPM. And I'd first like to introduce you to... It's Mark. Mark. Alright, Mark Vandenberg. Now first of all, prior to even Mix Mash, tell us a little bit about Luvdup. Come on. Yeah, no, come on. I can't remember any of it. No. I was part of a DJ duo called Luvdup in the 90s and early 2000s. We achieved pretty great success, voted number 25 in the world.

All right, so after that... You were part and parcel of a company called Mixmash, weren't you? Correct. I set up a company called Mixmash and we were essentially selling music video compilations to DJs throughout Europe. We're the main supplier of music video content to DJs in Europe. And Visual, we sort of forged a lot of quite So, you know, the VJing went from 99% DVD and it's almost turntale now. You now have extended mix? Yes, so Mixmash closed in about May of last year 2012. In that interim period I've been concentrating on my wedding DJing business and managed to win being the best wedding DJ in the UK at the moment. That was well done for that! Voted by past client feedback. To add to my workload, I got approached by Xtendermix in Canada. And I launched Xtendermix in November of 2012 and it's been an overwhelming success. It's download only. We're trying to keep it simple. It's a good model. It works out to only be a video. And we've got a fair model. People can choose what they want.

They can download 24-7, so they're at an event, they get a request for something, they can go onto the website, download their internet and play it. No waiting, no being told what they're going to get to hear, so we're not telling you what to do. You can mix new stuff with old stuff. And if 43 video is the most expensive, you can go down to 25 per year video if you take out the bigger packages. I think it's an absolute no-brainer of providing the end user with... The product they want and the price point they want. Yeah, but I mean some people are spending 40p on audio, so really even if they don't want to use the video they can still just use the audio when they've got the video. I suppose they could do, yes. And also you do them in HD as well, don't you? Yes, so HD, and we don't charge extra for HD or anything like that either, so we try to keep things simple for people and make it...

It's an attractive product, basically. So that's extendermix.eu, isn't it? Extendermix.eu. Extendermix, X-T-A-N-D-A-M-I-X. Alright, there it is ladies and gentlemen. Extendermix.eu. And there's some information. I will put a hyperlink in the description of this video. We'll take you directly To the website, there's some more information there. I've known Mark for a long time. Very approachable guy. If you do have any questions or queries, don't hesitate. Email, get in touch and this guy will help you. Mark, it's been a pleasure. Thank you very much indeed. He's the man. Nice one. I am here with, can only be described as the ultimate legend. I do. Nick, the man that brains behind not the coke tin,

Definitely not washing up liquid, but it's got a lot to do with DJing. Light structures? Light structures is part of the pro-light group. My part of it is my console as you well know. We've had these on the market for about three years or more now and every once in a while we just have new ideas. A lot of that. You have new ideas? Well, yeah I do but a lot of it is generated from the end users who are constantly touching us, sending us photos, giving us recommendations. That's why shows like BPM are so crucial for what we do. Yes. And we listen to them as well as we talk to them. No, very good. Now, I like the gantry here. Tell us a little bit about this. It's on the Express. Yeah. The way the gantry has been designed is you'll see that the aesthetics follow the line of the console. What this means is you've got two clamps down here

46:41 It also makes for a nice frame for the DJ behind it as well

Very good, very good. I like that. It also makes for a nice frame for the DJ behind it as well. Yeah, sure. And it's all compact, it's all in one. Would you, you know, a rough kind of timescale for someone to set the Express up and the gantry? What sort of time are we looking at? My record, the setting of the Express was 1 minute 20 seconds, and a demo I did in Switzerland about a month or so ago. And the gantry, I'd say, clicking it together, clicking it on, that's a five minute job out of math mode. Alright, so someone who's new to all this, you know, you're not going to spend more than ten minutes. Nah, absolutely not. Not at all. Can you, right, we've got hinges here, can you show us and demonstrate the hinges with the small go here? What we're looking at here is the new...

The console you're seeing is called the GO. The GO has been a reaction to the growing market for MIDI controllers. I work very closely with Pioneer over in Europe on getting all the dimensions correct for this. But as you mentioned, the big secret are these articulated hinges. I'm just going to go around here and see how they work. That frame weighs about six kilos. I don't think that's going to overexert any of us. Maybe a few people certainly asked. Yeah, yeah. And the idea is that as that opens out, back to there, okay, with the tolerance on these hedges, you've already got a pretty stable structure as it is. Yes. You'd think it wouldn't be, Ellaskins, you'd think it really wouldn't be, but it is stable. Yeah. This sequence is, and let's put those two together, this is the go frame, express frame, of course, it's similar but just a bit deeper. Yes. If you walk this way, if you walk this way, what we see here,

These are very critical points, but the hinges aren't being captured by all the elements. Exactly, so it's holding it together. It's holding it together, that's right. The more weight you're putting on, the more stability you're giving it. Gotcha, yes. That said, right now there's something on there, but look, that didn't go in nowhere. Not at all. So here we have the Express, we have the Go TT tabletop, and then the Go... This is really a bit of a hit for BPM. According to all accounts, we just had constant visits. You have been busy, you have been busy. The idea with this was obviously a reaction, as I said, to the growing market for MIDI controllers. We're not showing this actually with a controller, but people have been buying the stuff at BPM. Let's walk and go around the front as well so we can get an idea of what it looks like. Because that, to me, looks beautiful. Flame effect. Yeah, again, that's something we can do with any of our consoles. It's all about what you want to do with the colouring and the decorations.

So what we've got here, left to right is 80 centimeters. You're going to stand there, I'm going to stand right there. Yes. It's a frame for the human body. It's a lectern. Yes. It's a lectern. Here we go. It's a lectern which is definitely already finding homes in the corporate AV world. Yeah. I don't know if David Cameron is going to be using one. I hope not. I think he will be. Schools, colleges. Schools, colleges, universities, lecterns, conference centers, boats, workplaces, so many critical events. Yeah, sure, yeah. And again, Dimensions, what I did figure was I kept the depth of the upper shelf as before with the Express for a simple reason. It makes it a lot more practical for different uses. You can still have CDJs on that top shelf as well. Yes you can. Normally, normal use, it would be a MIDI controller and a laptop, but we've been a bit flexible with Dimensions to make it more available, more user-friendly. Yeah, gotcha. Okay, Nick, how can people...

Www.lightconsole.eu We have competitions on the website, you can upload your photos up there, all dimensions and specs are up there, dealers both around the world, not just UK, all the information is there for you. Please, please upload your photos. I love to see them. It makes my day. Honest to God when I see people's light consoles and the creative thinking that they put into this branding vehicle which came out of my stupid mind. All right. Nick, it's always a pleasure. Thank you very much. You too, Jonathan. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you very much. There you go. Lightconsole.eu. And that is Mr. Paul Oakenfold. All right? Practice and enjoy. With Karl Decken here from V-Moda, BPM 2013.

52:24 It's the last day

First thing before Carl says anything, I personally would like to congratulate Val and Carl for winning what can only be known as a very prestigious award. It's the DJ Mag Award for the top headphones. And there it is. Now, only one company can win that, and V-Moda Crossfade M100s got it 2013. Carl, you must be a proud man. Yes, we are and on behalf of myself and Val, the CEO and all our engineers, we want to say thank you for voting for us. We're really excited, especially this year as we come to Europe and start conquering this continent. In Asia and in the U.S., we have established ourselves pretty well, and now Europe is our next frontier. Right now, you can get our headphones in Europe on the Amazon websites, and there aren't a lot of stores yet, but you will start to see them this year as more and more people learn about all the awards and the accolades and the qualities

I mean, it's Monday now. It's the last day. And it's only now that I've had the opportunity to interview you because you've been so busy. There's always been people asking questions in here, which is great. It's what you want. Yeah, we've got a lot of good attention because of the award. A lot of people also don't know that the M100 has won CNET Headphone of the Year. 10 Editor's Choice Rewards and is the most awarded headphone right now in history. And it is because of our new redesign of our internal engineering sound. So we have a 50mm dual driver, which nobody has ever done it. We invented it. It's a patented new design and that's why all the reviewers, all the top DJs are going wild over it because the sound and the clarity and the definition between the high mids and lows

This is something that has never really been reached at this price point. So you're going to see more and more of this headphone this year in Europe. And also, what we're finding is a lot of the top DJs are always demanding quality. And the top DJs are now being seen using the Moda M100. Yeah, and it happened this year as well. I was with Pioneer for 20 years designing 62 products along with a team of guys that helped do that. But I have never been excited since Pioneer until this point of the M100. And basically, this is a phenomenal product because a lot of the headphones, their weak point is right here at the joint. They always tend to break. And whether they're quality headphones or not, this is the area. These headphones are made of lightweight

This is lightweight, military-grade steel. Virtually unbreakable. You can't do that with it on a headphones, Kenny, no way! You can't do that. This is Kevlar lined cabling. That's been tested 1.2 million bends. The standard in the industry is 60,000 bends before they break. So, it's very difficult to break these and that's why it has the longest warranty. But the other thing that we have as a customer after care Even after your long warranty runs out, and you've had these for five years, and you run over them with a car, you can still get another pair for 50% off. We call that the Immortal Life program. That's very good. And you can replace them for the life, your life, of owning the headphone. And we believe in quality and in customer service and keeping customers for life. And that's the reason that we do that.

And we are just in love with this product. Wonderful. Okay, so if anyone watching this particular video now want information on V-Moda, how do they get in touch? Well, you can go to any of the Amazons worldwide to purchase the product. You can go to vmoda.com to purchase the product. We ship worldwide. And the other thing about vmoda.com that I want to... Make aware is you can also have your name engraved, your logo engraved and that costs $45 to have done. So you get an extra shield and your logo engraved. Takes 24 to 48 hours to do and we ship worldwide. No other company can do that. You can endorse yourself. That's it. So you don't have to be the world famous DJ. You can be anybody. And get your name on your own headphones, which personalizes it, doesn't it? They're yours. Exactly. Alright, Carl, as ever, it's an absolute pleasure. Thank you very much indeed. Practice. Thank you very much. Practice and enjoy, guys. Thank you.

57:31 This is from the laser world, PM1300 RGB which is a tiny tiny laser

This is from the laser world, PM1300 RGB which is a tiny tiny laser. That's it. Tiny yet what can only be described as a rather bright effect. It's been run using Phoenix Force software. People are always asking me about up-lighting or minimal for maximum effect where lighting is required. Four units on each of the power bars. Very bright, so for example you can see them on tripods. We've got some Scrim Kings there to hide all of the nasty wiring. If you're doing sort of a medium style event that's probably all you would need is two of those. That is it. You could have maybe one of the lights either side on you to light up you as the entertainer One or two of the lights then either side maybe as lighting the ceiling, one lighting the wall and then the other one or two lighting the dance floor or the crowd. And that's it! You know you don't have to think that you've got to take 20,000 lights out because to be quite honest half the time the general public aren't bloody interested anyway. All they want is a few flashy lights. End of the day you are the entertainer. You're the one who should be...

Making the night special, not having to rely on loads of twisty-twisty lights. All right, Cam Power Bar, as ever, information on these, go and check out in the description, cam.co.uk. I like these, I use these all the time. I take them to all my events, love them. All right then, we're going to put this in. These two people have known you for a few years, haven't they? All the way from Aberystwyth, just right, come on, say who you are. I'm Peter. And you are? Ah, Paolo Tadaldi. Alright. Shabbai boys. Shabbai. Aberystwyth people born and bred like myself. Take your hand. Alright, say £5,000. What would you get from here? £5,000. A good creation stuff. Alright. How about you Luca? Come on, £5,000.

I've heard so many good sounds here today. I know. And on the back here. It's awesome, isn't it? Absolutely fucking awesome. But, I mean like, us two, we're old school DJs. Do you find the technology nowadays has just gone absolutely crazy, hasn't it? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We've gone so crazy that, whereas years ago you had a couple of turntables, yeah, mixer, yeah, there you go. Now, it's just so much... I know, it's amazing, isn't it? I have no idea what they're doing. They're doing all this flicking and... Yeah, you know what I mean? I know, I know. But having said that, after he's done all this flicking, they're producing one hell of a sound. Yes, yeah. It's very good. So, are you pleased you came? Yeah, yeah. First time. Yes. And do you reckon you'll be back for the BPM show? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, we never had this at the 70s, BPM shows. I guess the best we had was Roger Squires in Manchester. Right. No, I'm not coming, yeah. All right, listen, you two, it's been a pleasure and I'm sure we'll hook up for a coffee and a penguin. Penguin! Nice one.
