DJ. remixer and producer Paul Oakenfold talks about the unique DJ console built for him by LiteStructures for his support spots on the current Madonna ‘Sticky & Sweet” world stadium tour.

This is a promo video from LiteStructures, but it includes an interesting interview with Oakenfold and a lot of footage of his amazing setup. 

 ”My future global touring schedule will include more and more large stadium shows, both with Madonna and my own Perfecto events,” says Oakenfold. “It made sense to custom design my own console for such high profile appearances. More importantly a console that is easily transported, can be adapted and expanded for any specific reason or occasion, and is visually appealing.”
