Direct quotes from the article on Wired.com's Underwire- music tech news: "iPad DJ Rana Sobhany Gets in Touch With Music's Future":

"Instead of two turntables and a microphone, DJ Rana Sobhany makes music with two iPads and a handful of apps."

"Sobhany's inspiration for her unorthodox DJ rig came as she waited in line outside an Apple Store in New York City on the day the iPad was released."

'I just started playing with some of the music apps that were available for the iPhone, specifically the IK Multimedia GrooveMaker apps,'she told Wired.com in an e-mail interview. 'I got really inspired by the basic functionality of these apps and I started thinking about ways to incorporate iPad into a live performance. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was entirely possible to build a set around solely iPad music software and applications.'

"Within five days, Sobhany had cooked up her iPad DJ setup. She was interviewed by tech blogger Robert Scoble, who filmed a 17-minute video in which she demonstrated her process for using the iPads to DJ. The video blew up online, and Sobhany quickly became known as the first iPad DJ."
