Nintendo Switch-Inspired DJ Console Splits in Two for Duo Deejaying Fun

The Nintendo Switch-inspired DJ console brings a fresh, social twist to music mixing with its modular two-player design, perfect for on-the-go jamming.

When Gaming Meets Music: A Console That Brings DJs Together

Remember when the Nintendo Switch gaming console landed in 2015 and changed the game—literally? Suddenly, two players could dive into some serious couch co-op without hunting down extra controllers. The magic was in those detachable Joy-Cons, giving players a shared experience packed in one sleek console. Now, designer Eunjun Jang is flipping that idea on its head and remixing it into the world of DJing.

Jang's concept turns the socially vibrant act of deejaying into a physically social game. Why spin tracks solo when you can battle or collaborate face-to-face with a friend? The “Twin” DJ Console is exactly that: two decks with a mixer in the middle, snapping together like a Switch but for beats. Pull them apart and you’ve got a hands-on, dual DJ setup.

A Design That’s Sleek, Playful, and Super Portable

The Twin console has this clean, minimalist vibe, kind of like if Teenage Engineering’s quirky flair teamed up with Braun’s timeless simplicity. No flashy extras clutter the interface; each player gets a neat little screen that shows effects and track info. The actual music? It streams straight from your smartphone—just place your device on top, run the Twin app, and boom, you’re ready to rock.

What’s cool is how the setup visually nods to classic Pioneer XDJ DJ player decks but shrunk down to about 60-70% their size. This makes the Twin perfect for your bedroom groove sessions, café hangouts, or even impromptu park jams. It’s DJing, but without lugging around heavy gear.

Controls That Nail the Essentials

Stepping up to the Twin, you’re greeted with a classic DJ layout: a mixer center stage featuring EQ knobs, cue buttons for each deck, channel faders, and a crossfader to slide between left and right tracks. The player decks themselves keep things simple and functional—a tempo key to sync songs manually, cue keys to trigger song segments, and play/pause buttons that handle the basics.

Instead of the traditional spinning disc for scratching, the Twin opts for an elegant jog wheel tucked to the side—sort of cute but effective. Plus, there are four extra keys on the top corner along with a shift key for additional control options. It’s a neat package, though veteran DJs might debate the trade-offs in feel and feature set.

Modularity: The Real Star of the Show

The Twin's modular design is a game-changer, letting you snap the decks together or pull them apart with pogo pins—much like the Joy-Cons of the Switch. Set it up side-by-side or opposite each other to collaborate, compete, or just vibe. This physical connection turns music mixing into a shared ritual, far more interactive than scrolling through a Spotify playlist solo.

Imagine chilling in your pajamas, jamming with a buddy right in your living room, no crowds needed. It’s an invitation to bond over beats, share creative sparks, and experience music in a way streaming apps just can’t replicate.

A Fresh Take – But Still a Beginner’s Playground

As charming as the Twin is, it’s clear this console currently sits in the amateur realm. It’s missing the full suite of pro DJ features like advanced effects, looping, vocal channel inputs, or pitch shifting. For now, it focuses on simplified controls so newcomers can easily jump in and master the basics without feeling overwhelmed.

That said, the modularity hints at exciting possibilities. Imagine an upgraded version where you could snap on professional-grade decks or effects modules, expanding your rig on demand—perfect for throwing a full-on block party or small gigs.

A Nod to the Social Nature of Music

Eunjun Jang’s design philosophy shines through clearly: music is meant to be shared, not isolated. Just like Nintendo’s Switch made multiplayer gaming more accessible, the Twin DJ Console makes collaborative music mixing approachable and fun.

“Games are nice, but music is just chef’s kiss.” – Eunjun Jang

Of course, you might find yourself tussling over the mixer sometimes, but that’s part of the charm—just channel your inner Disclosure, not Daft Punk.

Ready to Remix Your Social DJ Sessions?

The Twin DJ Console is a playful, compact gadget that invites you to rediscover the joy of mixing with a friend—no heavy equipment or complicated setups required. It celebrates the spirit of collaboration and brings it into the palm of your hands, or better yet, onto your table.

Whether you’re a bedroom DJ or just a music lover looking for a fresh way to hang out, the Twin’s modular design makes it easy to break the ice and spin some tunes together.
