Video: Ikea Makes A DJ-Targeted Commercial

Written by Dan White on February 6th, 2013 40 Comments

One of the most successful articles of all time on DJ Techtools was a how-to guide for building a home DJ booth out of Ikea parts, and it continues to be one of the top-ranking articles on our site every month. It looks like Ikea themselves might have finally read the article – have a look at the commercial below of how they transform a Hoarders-level mess of records and gear into a sweet home DJ studio with their furniture.

I’ve been using ikea furniture for my dj/producer room since years. Practical, robust, cheap and highly customizable. Love them!

What a total Hollywood movie. Jesus, What a total chick-flick happy ever after Disney tale of a scripted and acted film. So the camera ‘just happened to be there’ to catch the kid messing with his records and decks yes? I’m now going to go and throw up.

Commerical? How comical! C’mon Dan, get the spelling sorted before you publish! :-)

As a creative person, I dream of the ideal work environment, one that facilitates a tidy work environment and lets me move from project to project.

The rest of the records where thrown in boxes in the attic. Ikea could not make them all fit in those pretty white shelves. :)
