QUOTES

“ As an artist, my shows have evolved from the days of controlling dance floors as a DJ. In the past it was all about playing records. Today It’s about pushing boundaries and putting on a performance. The Casio XW-P1 gives me control of a deep and wide set of sounds, giving me more tools to expand my live show. ”
– Enferno

“As the epitome of innovation, value and quality, we hope our limited edition XW-P1 sparks some excitement and inspires young artists. Our collaboration with aNYthing represents a new direction for Casio in the musical instrument business. In the future, we plan on additional collaborations with both influential artists and unique companies that will further allow Casio to go beyond sound and enable musicians of varying levels to express themselves and enjoy music like never before.”
– Mike Martin, general manager of Casio’s Electronic Musical Instrument Division

“We were honored to work with Casio on the design of the limited edition XW-P1. Music is a major part of our culture and everyday life – it sets the stage for how people behave, dress and interact. We hope our creativity and experience helps Casio to make some noise among one of our core audiences – the underground, performing artists.”
– Kiernen Costello, CEO of aNYthing
