Summary:

A hybrid between studio and sculpture: Abloh's DJ equipment staged like instruments of architecture. The transparent Pioneer CDJs reveal the circuitry beneath—sound design as physical form, captured during 8MARVELL's performance on the final day of "THE CODES" exhibition in Paris 2025.

Items Featured:

  • Custom Transparent Pioneer CDJs & DJM (2019): One-off clear set built for Abloh's performances and exhibitions—stripping Pioneer's flagship models to skeleton frames that expose the inner workings of DJ technology as sculptural objects.
  • Akai MPC & Samplers (Various Years): Core of his creative rhythm—design as remix, loop, and transition, representing the foundational tools of hip-hop production methodology.
