That’s why we were excited about Spotify’s U.S. release.

As an interactive digital agency, we love seeing people use the power of code to create new and innovative web applications. Using a combination of CSS3, Javascript, HTML and a little Flash, a programmer named Scott Schiller (@Schill) did just that and managed to create a digital copy of the classic Technics 1200 Series Turntable for the web.
Pulling in music from SoundCloud, WheelsOfSteel.net allows you to do just about everything a real DJ can do on the 1s and 2s. You can throw on different tracks, mix’em up, tweak your sound settings and—if you’re running it on a powerful enough machine—you can even scratch (Safari 5 or Chrome 12 on OSX work best).
Although this is merely a prototype (Schiller still believes it needs work), the various elements of code come together quite nicely to produce a seamless experience that can have anyone DJing in no time. Mr. Schiller breaks down how he went about overcoming various obstacles to create this stunning piece of web technology in his blog.
