Andrew Andrew are a bit annoying annoying, but once they actually start mixing (about 5:15) their tunes are pretty cool. They are declaring themselves iPad DJ’s but unlike some other iPad DJ’s we’ve seen, they seem to be simply operating their laptop from the iPad vs using apps specific to DJ’ing like Sonorasaurus Rex.

In case you don’t want to watch their explanation, and I don’t blame you, they say they are using Ableton via TouchOSC. And if you’re a DJ that probably means something to you. Their purpose is to be a mobile DJ and not to be tethered to the equipment in the booth. Using the iPad allows them to be on the move and out with the crowd.

They do play an eccentrically cool mix of the I Dream of Jeannie theme song, Vampire Weekend, Prince, the Eurythmics, Guns n Roses, and the Black Eyed Peas.

Rana Sobhany is the self professed “world’s first iPad DJ”. Using two iPads and a basic mixer she has full DJ’ing functionality. She explains (and explains and explains) her set up in detail including the apps she’s using (Groovemaker House, Looptastic HD, iDaft, AC-7 Pro, Pianist Pro, and Sonorasaurus Rex).

I think this is pretty cool but I’d be curious to hear what another actual DJ would say.
