The V7 has been a showstopper everywhere we’ve shown it to anyone so we decided to get it out in the open even more and let some pro DJs get their hands on it. That’s just what we did in New York and Los Angeles.
We started in New York by inviting some special guests to get up close and personal with the V7. DJs came from near and far and included Marley Marl, Biz Markie, Jazzy Joyce, Mell Starr, DJ Clear and Keith Shocklee got some hands-on with the V7 in the heart of New York.
In Los Angeles, we had even more DJs and some of L.A.’s top DJs came to enjoy a barbecue lunch and get some hands-on time with the V7. Check out the video below to see how it turned out, and stay tuned for more V7 events coming soon.
Are you a well-known DJ who wants to attend the next V7 event? Send an email to Charles at LANumarkV7@gmail.com and let him know who you are and why you should attend. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be featured in the next batch of photos or video.

4 decks? Try 99 with Virtual DJ 7
Just using 2 decks is sooo old now. Next week it’ll be retro and the week after vintage. It seems it’s all about running 4 decks now, and like lemmings people are chucking themselves at this weeks new controllers as if it’s quite impossible to mix 2 songs together with just 2 channels.

The Bridge is open – biddy bye bye
Cast your minds back to BPM 2008 – yes 2 years ago now – when Serato announced that they were getting into bed with Ableton to merge the DJ specific environment of Scratch Live with the much more music making world of Live. NAMM 2010 saw the first public demos and complete descriptions of exactly what this would exactly entail hit the netwaves. Mixtape spits Live-friendly files out of Rane boxes, and The Bridge essentially drops Live into the SSL world.

NEW: Traktor Kontrol S4
Traktor controllers are nothing new. Being the de facto standard MIDI DJ application for eons, many lumps of hardware have come out that have been made to work with Traktor. But when the word was out that Native Instruments were making hardware specifically FOR Traktor, we all knew it had to be special.

NEW: Denon DN-MC6000 4 deck MIDI controller
DJing is evolving in 2 directly opposing directions. On one hand, the digital age allows us to do so much more than we ever could before, yet at the same time we want to scale down our setups into highly portable units that can be slung into a flight friendly case. More stuff – space = challenge for manufacturers.
