Serato’s shiny stuff
Serato is such an important company and brand in the scene, that anything tagged remotely “limited edition” causes a global drain on the internet as record shops are hammered hard with pre-orders. The Serato Pressings range has seen eBay prices spiral with some stupid money changing hands. But some of it just isn’t available to the general public

Mix Move in Paris, Part 1 – The DJM-2000
The Mix Move trade show took place in Paris 14-16 March at the Paris Expo center at Porte de Versailles. Our special Pioneer stand was bursting at the seams with DJ’s wanting to see and play on the new DJM 2000 as well as the other species – The CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900. In the first of three clips we check out the brand new DJM-2000 with Pioneer France resident DJ – Antonin

Musikmesse 2010: Albino OTUS
In yet another of my fly-by visits between meetings (a detailed whinge about that another time), I spied something I hadn’t seen before. Being accustomed to the darkside of OTUS controllers, this rare Albino version made an appearance at Musikmesse, alongside the still to released RAW version too.

Musikmesse 2010: Denon DN-X1600
With an all too alarming regularity, Denon seem to be releasing a never ending stream of 4 channel mixers with a decidedly high end feel. NAMM was no exemption with the DN-X1600 poking it’s nose out of the R&D lab.

Musikmesse 2010: Pioneer DJM-2000
My 3 day trip to Messe was disorganised chaos from beginning to end. Having tried and failed to record a CDJ/DJM-350 demo on day 1, we returned the next day and successfully grabbed a 3 camera demo of the 350s. But as we planned how to get the spangly DJM-2000 demo in all its touch screeny DJ link rocking glory, everyone buggered off to the plane – leaving us all camera’d up and nowhere to film

Musikmesse 2010: ICON i.DJ Controller
Last year (I think), I spied units that appeared to “pay homage to” Korg’s Nano series.

Timo Garcia
Timo Garcia’s journey to gritty East London via Paris with Daft Punk in the 90’s and Leeds in the early noughties has deeply affected his attitude and music, and left an indelible imprint. In the clip here he recounts how things have changed over those years and how DJing has changed with the advent of the CDJ 2000. Timo’s debut album, ‘Wonderlust Bug’, which was released last May on his own label, Berwick Street Records, had praise heaped on it from an all-star collection of acts such as Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Timo Maas and M.A.N.D.Y
