Thankfully, not a medical device but a pocket DJ machine that makes on-the-fly mixing a possibility.By plucking two tunes at once from its 120GB hard disk it can cue, beat-match and crossfade with the best of them – not to mention it’s built-in digital tweaks for stadium rig-esque effects.Just add an in-line socket and a speaker and the world is your portable club – Dancing Queen floor fillers not allowed.Check out Episode 77 of the Stuff.tv podcast for a hands-on with the coolest music gadget of the year.EssentialsTonium PacemakerPrice: £TBAOn sale: OctoberContact: PacemakerRelated stories:This Baby Grand Master is pretty flashSuper-lazy DJs get USB mixerNumark mixes iDJ sequel
