the new Pioneer DJ mixer been announced today
it’s the ultimate companion to the CDJ-2000

Stanton Uberstand and likes are probably the most useful tools for laptop DJ’s
it’s not a new product, but they deserve every support
this great article on djtechtools opened up my eyes
(make sure to read the comments as well)
I think to use a stand like this can solve my space problems in tight DJ booths
it holds a laptop plus a soundcard and makes room for your controller
it’s also super lightweight and folds flat to fit in an included 12″ zippered bag
the UberStand is an essential accessory for computer based DJs.

let’s face its
when someone mentions ‘girl DJ’ most of the times we think about topless DJ’s
but thats something else than DJing

there are few seriousy talented girl DJ’s but there is space for more

Next Girl DJ is a DJ competition for girls only

and hopefully they will succseed

EKS OTUS is one of my fave DJ controllers
the ultimate object of desire

now it has a new version, the long awaited Otus RAW
many of you got excited now, I bet ;)
EKS will lauch the baby on NAMM 2010
but skratchworx already has some info
make sure to read the full thing, but here is a short brief

Unlike the original Otus, Otus RAW is equipped with two long and sturdy SL-turntable-style pitch sliders, one for each virtual deck. The Otus RAW also features large velocity pads and buttons allowing for fast and easy operation in a hectic club environment. A layer switch immediately multiplies the layers of controls available on the Otus RAW, resulting in nearly an unlimited number of control possibilities. As with all EKS controllers, the Otus RAW will boast a future proof control ideology that makes the Otus RAW the most highly configurable controller for DJs today and for many years to come.

the Otus RAW will be available for sale this spring
pricing has not been set at this time
