Intel teams up with DJ Qbert to revolutionise the digital DJ set up

Turntablist pioneer and DMC world champion DJ Qbert (unrelated to the successful arcade video game for those who, like me, grew up in the golden age of the eighties) has teamed up with multinational giant Intel to revolutionise the DJ booth by ridding the all-too-familiar sight of laptops from the equation, instead replacing the contemporary digital DJ set up with a new chip called the ‘Edison’ processor. Allowing audio playback from USB and compatible with production hardware such as drum machines and keyboards, it’s an interesting fit for a tech company that doesn’t even produce hardware.
