pepperdecks DJoclate II pocket-size music mixer

 

 

we all know that house parties often end up being the best nights out. you, your friends and their awesome music make these kind of festivities better than any other get-together. that said, full-on DJ gear is not always available and more often than not, prepared playlists don’t do the job. the night usually ends in friends lining up to play their favorite tunes from their own music device, resulting in a rather obnoxious mix of music, abrupt silences and the notorious crackling of the audio cable.

dutch duo maarten & maarten have realized a way to give each party, from simple gatherings, to office drinks in need of ambient music or any celebration for that matter, the musical experience they deserve. ‘we thought it should be an easy-to-use device that will give you and your friends the ability to amp up the playlist! that’s why we designed the pepperdecks DJoclate: a pocket sized music mixer that is small enough to bring to any event. it gives us all the power of mixing music from multiple devices in one seamless track. no more awkward silences…’, they say.

after almost a year of development they came up with the design of their first DJoclate: a small simple and easy-to-use music mixer with two inputs, one output, two full size faders and a bass kill function. now they have produced a second version with enhanced features that still maintain the simplicity of their first product. the new device has a function which makes it possible to pre-listen to two input channels (either separately or mixed together), as a result there is an additional output for a headset, and a switch to coordinate between two playing tracks.

the DJoclate II will be equipped with a bluetooth transmitter in order for the mixer to connect wirelessly to one’s bluetooth speaker or sound system. the pepperdecks system can be placed anywhere in the room, even when you are not mixing, and you can just use the djoclate as a bluetooth sender. furthermore the djoclate will feature a build-in pre-amp to ensure optimal sound quality.

the pepperdecks DJoclate II is currently seeking funding on kickstarter here.
