Now you can DJ using Pizza Hut boxes

by Jeremy Mersereau

Back in the day, aspiring DJs had to spend some serious coin getting into the craft, but nowadays, you just need to have enough for some greasy food. Now, thanks to Pizza Hut, DJs can practice crucial skills like crustmatching, cheese-juggling, and harmonic dough mixing for just the price of a cheese drenched pie or two.

Created by English printed electronics company Novalia, certain Pizza Hut locations are now selling pizza boxes that come complete with conductive DJ tools like a crossfader, two decks, and pitch and volume control. The powered box can connect to your computer or smartphone, and can be used as a MIDI controller for DJ software like Serato or Traktor.

Unfortunately, anyone thinking they can skip down to their local Hut and start scratching crumbs everywhere is out of luck: the boxes are only available at 5 locations, all of them in the UK. The boxes’ release date has yet to be announced, but expect them to be coming soon.

Sound too good to be true? Don’t believe you can craft a sick mix through layers of caked-on cheese? Watch DJ Vectra of London’s Rinse FM take you through it:

Taste Freedom? Yes, I think most people typically define ‘freedom’ as ‘being able to DJ on pizza boxes’.
