Musikmesse 2010: Pioneer CDJ-350 and DJM-350

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
click for high resThe run up to this year's Musikmesse has been quieter than normal, making me think that I'm spending a shedload of cash and walking around aimlessly more then ever. But Pioneer unveiled the delightfully nextlevelness laden DJM-2000 last week. But the grapevine round these parts twitched with rumours of something else - that Pioneer carefully tried to hide the scent of from me with a smokescreen of spurious PR. But I knew… and this morning the truth is unveiled - say hi to the CDJ-350 and DJM-350. Messe just looked a lot more interesting.

Musikmesse 2010: Allen & Heath Xone:PB

Thursday, March 18th, 2010
Click for high resThe digital age has revolutionised DJing and brought with it a wealth of massive benefits than most would never want to be without. But it doesn't make everything better, and one such area that it positively hurts is the DJ changeover. The cable switchover dance of death makes turns a once smooth move of a crossfader into a nightmarish birds nest of RCA patching. There have been products to make this easier (the Magma Switchbox and NI's multicore cables), but Allen & Heath have their own ideas about this - enter the Xone:PB.

RIP CDJ-1000

Friday, February 26th, 2010
While the death of one iconic piece of Technics shaped DJ technology may seem lingering, another has most definitely been decided. The announcement of Pioneer's original CDJ-1000 was one of those you-remember-where-you-were moments which redefined the DJ game completely. But with the new species, in the shape of the CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 having dawned, the CDJ-1000 now finds itself being shipped off to the technology retirement home. Yes gear geeks - the CDJ-1000 is now officially discontinued… well definitely in the UK anyway.
