10 pieces of weird DJ merchandise you can currently buy

It's so often hard to tell whether it's a joke or just plain delusional on their part, but artists have always been eager to sell their fans some odd stuff. Either it's Evian Christ trying to flog boxers with his name on, which he'd accidentally ordered, or it's Mr Scruff brewing up his own brand of tea. Whatever it is we never cease to be amazed by what people are willing to use their name to sell next. In honour of this we have gathered the weirdest merchandise you can currently get on the market.

For anyone whose sock drawer doesn't mysteriously re-stock itself once a year maybe this isn't such a strange item, but there is something peculiar about purchasing socks from a DJ rather than skipping to the local M&S when all yours have got holes in. Of all things to purchase with your favourite artist's logo emblazoned across it, amongst t-shirts, hoodies and caps, this might just be a little too subtle for our tastes.

The French duo have never been afraid to shy away from the obscure, Daft Punk are currently sizing themselves up for action figures to be released next year, but this might easily be the best thing they have on offer. Made with the help of the original Russell Yo-Yo company, with the express aim of tapping into the vintage 80s model, this makes us want to rock the baby to 'Robot Rock' without smashing a light bulb or two in the process.

First of all, a missed opportunity for a pun will always grind our gears (Glosstradamus is staring you right in the face, isn't it?), but secondly, since when did these two Chicago-born DJs become experts in the make-up world? With no other similar products available this was one item that stood out like a sore thumb. They do claim it offers "the latest in glitter technology", which is either amazing or complete nonsense, but there is no clear indication as to why anyone should turn to them to jazz up their nails. Whether this is to be the first in a future line of make-up products from the group remains to be seen.

Diplo and his droogs, from over at the Mad Decent label, are here to save your phone. Thanks to them you can now make sure that it never dies on you again, such as when you're stuck in the rain at a festival trying to meet your friends by the falafel stand. ("No, no, no. Not 'Just Falafels', the one just after that.") And luckily for you they are willing to do it all for a higher price than anywhere else on the market. They do know that EE hand these things out for free, right?

Even deadmau5 is so embarrassed by this he elects to describe it as "footed PJs," rather than what it really is. It's a onesie deadmau5, a onesie. What is so peculiar here is less to do with the specific product, more to why he would feel the need to craft his own insidious version of it. The mouse ears are a nice touch though.

We've been quite critical of a lot of these, but ice trays are actually a really good idea and we can't quite believe no one else is doing them. Available in a range of colours, watching your favourite artist or label's logo melt away into your drink is something we can only imagine as a satisfying conclusion to a heavy night out.

Richie Hawtin's ENTER is not only "a point of entry into new experiences," but also an entry point for dental hygiene it seems. For £5 this is an expensive toothbrush, especially seeing as it seems to sport no additional features (A USB with an exclusive mix in the end would see us happily cough up at an extra price.) It does, however, have a stylish quality that fits well with the brand, but it's not particularly exciting is it?

Steve Aoki might be a divisive figure, but we're sure everyone can agree this is amazing; a carry-on suitcase that you can ride as a scooter, making every airport trip that tiny bit smoother. It apparently even folds up and should fit in the standard overhead compartment. This isn't just finding ordinary objects, slapping a logo on the top and hiking up the price. This is innovation! Unfortunately, it isn't available outside the US, but surely it won't take too long to reach the rest of us. It's too good not to.

Yes, you read that right. Kompakt, the German record label, have released a wooden box, in two varieties as well. One thing that has become quite apparent over the course of this list is that mostly everything here at least has a use, even if you wouldn't necessarily use it yourself. The reason that this features so highly is that we can't comprehend what this is for. We've racked our brains for one, at times a little bit too literally, but still to no avail. It is for this reason that makes the wooden cube, handmade and varnish finished, almost the weirdest, but not quite, merchandise available for sale.

Whilst there's been some pretty weird stuff on this list, there was only ever one obvious winner. At first we thought this one was definitely just a big joke until he actually went and did it in an interview for LA Weekly. Although, buried in amongst a whole host of other surreal things you can purchase on his website, it still might be and priced at over £3000 we don't want to be the ones to find out. If you do fancy taking a gamble you could also treat yourself to Dillon Francis drunk cooking for you, painting a picture of your family, or ruining your step-dad's Christmas. And of course if you do, please get in touch and tell us if you get your money's worth.
