Grandmaster Jay demonstrated the Beamz technology at the kickoff party for the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, GA on September 27(th) . During the filmed event, Grandmaster Jay had the opportunity to experience the Beamz interactive music technology for the first time and remarked, "I've been DJing for over 35 years. I watched CDs metamorphosize into MP3s, from MP3s to Serato type controllers... All of this, and I thought we were there already... Until I came down here to the BET 2013 Awards Weekend... and I got a chance to work with something that I'm going to say right now, is probably the next weapon in my arsenal!"
"I look forward to working with Beamz Interactive to develop and promote this new generation of leading-edge products and technology," said Grandmaster Jay. "I believe that today's DJ market presents the first of many opportunities for Beamz. The technology in Beamz DJ products is the next step in the continuing evolution of DJing and music performance. The ability to do what I do with high-end equipment by moving your hand through laser beams is incredible."
