DJ NU-MARK TAKES CREATIVE CONTROL WITH THE MPK49 PERFORMANCE CONTROLLER
DJ Nu-Mark started spinning as a teenager in Los Angeles. Over the course of the following two decades, he built a collection of over 35,000 records, refining his skills and style to the tune of global recognition in the DJ world.
Recognized for his work in Jurassic 5, Nu-Mark is responsible for half of the
production of the gold-selling group’s body of work, and his innovative DJ
routines and creative on-stage antics have made him a favorite of crowds all
over the world. 
Nu-Mark is well known for his innovative sonic
creativity, such as attaching a rubber band to his turntable’s needle and
playing it like an upright bass or tapping on the turntable dust cover to
simulate a bass drum. Incorporating a wide range of musical styles from soul to
funk, hip-hop to samba, Nu-Mark loves to surprise an audience with a forgotten
gem, an unknown banger, or a fresh take on a well-known hit.DJ- Numark uses the MPK49 Performance Controller from Akai Professional as an integral tool at his gigs. This 49-key semi-weighted professional keyboard controller boasts 12 genuine MPC pads with Note Repeat and Swing for crafting beats, and an arpeggiator for creating quick riffs and bass lines. With an amazing 76 assignable controls, eight full-sized pots and sliders, eight assignable backlit switches, and a large, easy-to-read custom backlit display, the MPK49 is DJ Nu-Mark’s choice for live and studio production.
From Sao Paolo to Sydney, from Toronto to Tokyo, Nu-Mark’s carefully crafted, explosively energetic sets never fail to get a party rocking. With the addition of the Akai Professional MPK49 to his rig, you can be sure that Nu-Mark’s post as hip-hop’s Innovator-in-Chief is certain to produce some wild new sounds!
