Sensation
Originally Sensation White, this event originated in and is held during the first Saturday of July every year at the Amsterdam Arena (and in other countries during the rest of the year).

It’s renowned for extraordinary stage shows, acrobats, light shows, and fireworks. All attendees are required to dress in white only, and the arena is decorated to match. House and electronic music are primarily played, and over 30,000 people attend every year.

Please note that our attorney actually made us put that we are not responsible for damage to your bag during an animal attack. There are also a few “pearls of wisdom” such as; if the airlines damage your bag, file a claim with the airline before you leave the airport.

CONCLUSION 

This is a versatile and neat bag designed with the needs of mobile musicians and DJs firmly in mind.

The Namba Kutcha Messenger Bag is a neat solution for the iPad musician or DJ looking to carry his tablet plus all the essential accessories for performance.

Time to get out your camera and give us your best shot! We just announced a worldwide photo contest featuring Namba Gear high performance laptop bags, backpacks and brand. This contest is simply about sending us a photograph showing off your Namba Gear bag or t-shirt or our brand in some clever way.

The winner will have their photograph featured on Namba Gear’s website and win a free Apple iPad. How cool is that? We’ll also give away a bunch of t-shirts, luggage tags and other goodies for photos that we like but don’t win the grand prize. Click here for Complete Contest Rules and get some ideas for your photo entry.

This is what our Facebook friend Andreas Sundren in Sweden wrote on his Facebook page. “I am a bag whore. Bags possess me. I possess bags. Few people make quite as cool and functional bags for actual and wannabe musician (and otherwise) globetrotters as Woody Moran of Namba Gear. And now the crazy cook is giving away a free ipad. Take a pic of your Namba Gear and yourself in action somewhere in the world and send it in to win. Oh, you don’t have a Namba? Well you need to get one to win the ipad then.”

Christian Martirano wrote on his Facebook page, “Namba bags are fantastic. Mine has traveled all over the world protecting my precious Mac and hard drives. What more can I say except, Win an iPad!!”

Dj Narrative aka Marc Reck

Birmingham, England, UK

WEBSITE: www.marcreck.com / www.djnarrative.com

FAVORITE MUSIC SOFTWARE: Traktor Scratch Pro, with S4 & 1210’s, Ableton, Anything by Spectrasonics & Izotope.

We met Marc Reck via email when he first had questions about the Big Namba Studio Backpack, wondering whether or not it would hold all (or at least the majority) of his gear. Then when Marc decided to make a purchase we had another issue to deal with as we didn’t have UK distribution for our products, so we helped him hook up with a distributor in another territory to make his purchase. But we soon learned that this man has the drive and energy to meet any challenge.

A quick look through his online EPK and you start scratching your head thinking, how can one individual do all of this? Not only does he perform live as DJ Narrative, but he supports other Djs, Performance & Visual Artists, is a educator teaching technology classes with his Reckorder Workshops, and has a weekly radio show.

A description of his 2011 music production collaboration Slamboree reads: “SLAMBOREE is a brand new LIVE next-level dance music circus band mashing up underground bass-driven beats with live orchestra, guitars, drums, turntablism, live looping, visuals, pyrotechnics and circus!!!!! NOT to be missed (or tried at home). Stomping through breakbeat, dubstep, drum & bass, dub, techno, house and electro, whilst throwing in balkan, gypsy vibes for good measure.” Who wouldn’t want to see this show?

TELL US ABOUT YOUR LATEST PROJECT?
“Latest Dj Project is my Dj Narrative podcast which features free production tutorials / free multi genres radio shows with turntablism, narrative, & bass (both downtempo & uptempo) & Back catalogue all freely available with links to all artists.
Also have a new DJ Narrative album of remixes coming out, which will also be free to newsletter subscribers - http://eepurl.com/cCeKU

Next gig is supporting the Nextmen & then will be working on our Dj Narrative AV show with live visual mapping with BLEND.”

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT YOUR NAMBA GEAR BAG?
“I looked at loads of bags when I bought it back in 2009 & the Big Namba Studio Backpackwas really the only solution out there for me due to my oversized laptop. I love the fact its really well made, the design is great and looks like a turtle shell, so its not too obvious its got all my kit inside it. It can house my big Dell laptop and the Novation Remote 25sl, and the stash pack carries my recording stuff, iriver & notebooks around. I use it regularly, theres no wear after 3 years, and its my go-to bag when taking my equipment to Dj & Production Workshops or to gigs.”

ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD?
“Here’s my entire back catalogue for free download - www.marcreck.com/djing a-decade-of-mixes-radio-shows-to-download (with links to all artists.
Namaste”

The new Kucha iPad Messenger Bag was specifically tailored to hold an Apple iPad pre-mounted in the Alesis I/O Dock. The bag has a dedicated microphone compartment using Velcro dividers for additional flexibility, with plenty of room for cables and accessories. There is even a pouch that is the perfect size for the Korg Nano keyboard controller.

There is also a protective iPad pouch for transport of an Apple iPad without the AlesisI/O Dock. When used this way there is plenty of room in the compartment to hold an iPad mic stand adapter. The bag has an extra long strap so that it can be worn across the chest. Of course it also works great for a small laptop and your iPad combo!

Now in stock and available.
