10th April 2018 – SYDNEY, Australia: To celebrate today’s consumer launch of Surface Pro with 4G, Microsoft partnered with local DJ and music producer, Basenji, for an Australian first – a live music set in a hot air balloon. Using the power of the Surface Pro with 4G connectivity, Basenji took his entire studio into the clouds to produce, perform and post a custom mix to SoundCloud, all while being suspended from the hot air balloon at 3,000ft. Basenji performed and recorded the full mix using the Surface Pro then posted the 35-minute mix to SoundCloud, taking full advantage of the 4G connectivity on the device while up in the clouds. A video of the experience is available on YouTube, while the exclusive “UP IN THE AIR MIX” from Basenji in the hot air balloon using the Surface device is also now available to listen on his SoundCloud.
