In a previous article, we mentioned that Pioneer’s software, rekordbox, was to become free! So Pioneer have finally made rekordbox available for download on their ProDJ website.
rekordbox is supplied with the Pioneer CDJ-2000 cd player and allows total management of your digital record collection including creating cue-points, loops and hot-starts, as well as loads more features that are designed for the CDJ-2000.
rekordbox is designed to be future-proof in that future evolutionary Pioneer cd players will also be compatible with the software.
You can download rekordbox here.

It’s quite sad that traditional vinyl turntables are slowly being replaced by new-age cd players and digital dj gear.
It was the vinyl turntable, and more specificly the Technics SL-1200, that is responsible for the DJ equipment industry as we know it.
The image on the right is a picture of the Technics SL1210 MK2 model that are on display as a pair at the London Science Museum.
Please note: You may not copy or use this image without prior permission from their picture library.
At the London Science Museum they currently have this product on display “within the Science Museum’s Making the Modern World Gallery” as exhibit number 10438138 and is labeled as follows:
Technics SL-1200 direct-drive turntables were first released in 1973, and were aimed at professional DJs on the developing club scene. Pairs of these decks, together with a mixer, became the industry standard tool of hip-hop and club DJs throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Model SL-1210 Mk2.
The Technics SL-1200 turtable has been the choice of DJs and turntablists for almost 4 decades. There has been some rumours of the Technics SL-1200 being discontinued, however there does not seem to have been any official statement from Panasonic so far.

What started off as a quick look at some leading headphones, has turned into an epic journey covering 15 pairs of headphones producing close to 10,000 words, 141 photos and a new recruit to the skratchworx team. Finally, it's here - the long awaited skratchworx 2010 headphone group test can be found after the jump. And I can assure you that I never want to see another pair of cans for as long as I live.

T'is the irony of skratchworx - pumping generous scoops of nextleveleness out to the masses, but it really doesn't mean a hoot if you haven't got the skills to drive all this shiny stuff. But when someone with the prerequisite skills gets his hands on such things, you know that something special is going to happen. Native Instruments have procured the immense talent that is DJ Craze and like Rafik before him have unleashed him upon Traktor Scratch Pro and the Kontrol X1 unit. Sweet Jesus.
