Five tunes you need in your box
Push it real good
In a previous issue in DJ Mag Tech we saw how Ableton’s flagship production software, Live, has evolved into an improved powerhouse, with the new Version 9 release.

Kings of the road
Once upon a time DJs roamed the planet with boxes filled with enough vinyl to cripple a sherpa and synthesisers that were so big and heavy they required two roadies to wrestle them onto the stage.

Korg have been around since the beginning of the electronic music revolution, and while once they were manufacturers of hardware behemoths, they have kept abreast of the times by releasing a wide range of products in both hardware and software formats, from bulky workstation synthesisers designed to live in a studio to their micro range of keyboards, which are the perfect size and weight to be taken on the road.
