"It was pretty game-changing back in 2015 when Nintendo dropped the Switch, ushering in a wave of 2-player gaming on the same console. Two joy-cons, one console, mano-a-mano gaming. You didn't need an extra controller - Nintendo built right one into the Switch. Designer Eunjun Jang wants to bring that same modular multiplayer culture to deejaying... because it's an activity that is conducive to socializing."
"Nobody plays music alone, the act of deejaying is inherently social. Look at the Boiler Room sets, where the deejay is surrounded by sometimes a hundred or more people, absorbing the energy emanating from the console and the speakers. The 'Twin' DJ Console just turns that emotionally social activity into a physically social one. Two player decks, one mixer in the middle, quite like a Nintendo Switch but for music."
The Twin DJ Console recreates modular multiplayer culture by combining two player decks and a central mixer that snap together into one shared console or separate for mano-a-mano collaboration. Each player unit includes a small screen for monitoring effects while smartphones supply the music via a companion app placed above each player. Controls are simplified with tempo keys, cue buttons, EQ knobs, channel faders and a crossfader, and the console is roughly 60–70% smaller than typical DJ setups. The compact, clean design suits travel, bedrooms, and cafés, though the aesthetic could benefit from more color and vibrancy.
