McIntosh hosted a listening event for the new MT5 Turntable at New York City’s historic (and Jimi Hendrix-founded) Electric Lady Studios. The evening featured a variety of music played on the MT5, accompanied by discussion from the playlist’s curators – Questlove and John Varvatos.

The night’s playlist included:

• Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On
• The Police – King of Pain
• Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
• Beastie Boys – Shake Your Rump
• Guns N Roses – Sweet Child Of Mine
• Prince – Lady Cab Driver
• Willie Dixon – Spoonful
• Stevie Wonder – Superwoman
• David Brubeck – Take Five
• Bill Withers – Ain’t No Sunshine (to which Questlove said “I’ve been listening to the song for 40+ years & I’m just hearing it now!”)
• Gary Clark, Jr. – When My Train Pulls In
