Playable DJ pizza box

Pizza Hut partnered with Novalia to make a box, which includes pitch and volume controls, a mixer, and touch-sensitive decks. using printed electronics, DJs can crossfade, rewind and even scratch,the box pairs with smartphones and computers using Bluetooth and works with DJ software.

I'm glad this is not a set of true physical turntables, as the idea of placing delicate vinyls anywhere close to a greasy pizza box makes me queasy. These are, of course, part of a promotional stunt, and Pizza Hut is only giving away five.

Still, this concept might have proved a fun, low-cost way for would-be DJs to take a tentative step into the world of music mixing. It's neat, but I'm more likely to slap together a Spotify playlist for a party and be done with it.
