XoneDX debuts at World Cup celebrations
Published: MEA
SOUTH AFRICA: Gavin ‘Vin’ Deysel has purchased the first Xone:DX in South Africa. The DJ used his new controller for the first time for his performance at the celebrations ‘United We Shall Stand for Bafana Bafana’ in Johannesburg prior to the opening game of the FIFA World Cup last week.
An estimated 185,000 fans lined the streets of Sandton’s business district in support of their national team ahead of the opening match between South Africa and Mexico. The Bafana Bafana football team (the name of South Africa’s national team) paraded the streets in a double decker bus, while radio presenters interacted with the players and crowds along the route.
As well as a performing DJ, Mr Deysel is a producer at the Johannesburg radio station, Highveld Stereo (94.7), who organised the event in partnership with Talk Radio 702 and Southern Sun.
‘I have used a variety of controllers and can honestly say that the DX is by far the most superior when it comes to versatility. With four decks, two FX units and Loop functions, being creative is easy with the Xone:DX!’ commented Mr Deysel.
