Virgil Abloh is more than just the head of ultra-hype streetwear label Off-White, he’s also a DJ. And now, ahead of a forthcoming exhibition of his work at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, he’s teaming up with Pioneer DJ to create and display a unique transparent version of the Japanese company’s CDJ-2000NSX2 player and DJM-900NXS2 mixer.
“As a means to give a new look and feel to the industry standard of the CDJ and DJM I aimed to design a see thru and non-labeled rendition of the classic models to inspire a different sound while djing,” Abloh says in a statement. “And perhaps a new way for music technology and human interaction to equal a different result.”
It’s not yet known if the transparent set-up will be going on general sale in future.
The collaboration project will be displayed at the exhibition in Chicago with four of the CDJs and one mixer (see above). The exhibition will run from June through September.
Tickets for Abloh’s exhibition are on sale here.
