UK - Leading British electronic music act Way Out West has selected Allen & Heath's MIDI-enabled Xone:92 DJ mixer for use on its new, and highly acclaimed album 'Don't Look Now' (Distinct'ive), and promotional tour. The bonus mix CD which accompanies the 'Don't Look Now' album was mixed live on the Xone:92 at Way Out West's studio in Bristol, and the mixer was used throughout an intensive live tour of North America, which took place during November 2004.

"The Xone:92 is wonderful and I love it," says Jody Wisternoff. "I was really happy that we were able to use it for the 'Don't Look Now' mix CD - every track went through it, and it warmed up everything. It's definitely the best sounding DJ mixer I've ever heard and I've been playing around with the MIDI functions. The Xone:92 is studio quality - Allen & Heath don't mess around. I've played records at home through other mixers and I thought that my needles were worn out, and then I played them through the 92 . . ."

Way Out West formerly comprised leading DJ/producers Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff but recently the act has expanded with the addition of vocalist Omi, plus a full complement of live musicians. The Way Out West live show featured an eclectic mix of DJ'ing and keyboards by Nick andJody, fusing with other live instruments.

"There's absolutely no better DJ mixer in the world at the moment. The Xone mixers have made my job more enjoyable and easier. One of the best things about these mixers is that if I walk into a DJ booth anywhere in the world, it may be in Sydney or Buenos Aires or Iceland or LA, I see the Xone mixer and I can relax - they make a world of difference, they sound great, and I love using the filters and EQ," adds Nick Warren.
