Have you seen this? HTML audio wizard Scott Schiller is at it again: this time he’s created a double turntable set-up that runs entirely in the browser, can use HTML for the audio, and streams “records” from SoundCloud. It’s cutting edge stuff, so all the bells and whistles may not work on your system, but it’s worth checking it out. Nerds: so is his very detailed explanation of the tech.

And an extra special bonus: you can’t handle the nyan.
