Right about when John Travolta’s film “Saturday Night Fever” went big, people were taking off their shoes to boogie and getting ready for a new way to get down. Straight from The Warehouse, a nightclub in Chicago that existed from 1977 to 1982, came the soulful and euphoric sounds now known as House.
It was born once the underground scene had already stepped off Disco at the end of the 70s, and was beginning to develop a new style of music that was deeper, rawer and designed to make people dance. It blended soul, R&B, funk, with celebratory messages about dancing, love, and sexuality, all underpinned with repetitive arrangements and a steady bass drum beat.
Numark have announced details of their forthcoming NSFX effects controller, a dedicated unit for use with their NS7 Serato Itch controller. NS7 DJs can now take advantage of Serato ITCH’s effects capabilities with NSFX. Designed in collaboration with Serato for the ITCH system, NSFX is designed to mate perfectly with NS7, delivering seamless integration and hands-on control of the wide range of effects built into ITCH. Those effects will sync automatically to the tempo of the track to which they are applied, allowing for quick, easy, musically satisfying results every time.“Serato and Numark have worked closely to make sure that the integration between NS7, NSFX and ITCH remains as seamless as it always has been,” said Adam Cohen, Director of Business Development, Numark. “We think both existing and future NS7 owners will be thrilled by the extended functionality that NSFX provides.” There is to date no indication of the price range the NSFX falls into.
