Yo, DJ keep your hands off the fader… and forget about good ol’ turntables. Sure, the turntables represent the classic method, but it’s time they made way for the digital wave. I mean totally digital.

Yep, keep an open mind and embrace the latest technologies. But what can possibly replace a good turntable? A touchscreen, that’s what. The Touch Screen Table was designed by Scott Hubbs, a student from Dundee University. He dubbed the whole thing ATTIGO TT, although this name doesn’t ring any bells for me.
The revolutionary device lets you loop, sample and scratch in a similar to a turntable, but in order to master this revamped edition you have to forget how a smooth vinyl feels and get used to the flatness of the touchscreen. Take a look at this demo clip:



The touchscreen looks (and sounds) promising, although old school DJs with blazing fast fingers might find it a bit awkward at first. A bit of vinyl tactile grip could complement the touchscreen well. Scott hasn’t yet filed a patent for the prototype, as it’s not yet finished. If he manages to make old school DJs happy with this one, he will surely convince turntable manufacturers to adopt his vision.
