DJ Blaze puts it down on the Korg KM-202 (Kaoss Pad 2-channel mixer) over the Drake - Find your Love remix. This is just a short demo of what the Korg KM-202 mixer is capable of when spinnin' hip-hop and R&B. (Demo Video and Full Written review after the jump!)

As I was preparing to write the Numark V7 review (VIDEO AND FULL WRITTEN REVIEW COMING SOON!!!), I was hit with a few questions regarding my day to day mixer; the Korg KM-202. As soon as I touched a Kaoss pad for the first time back in the 90's, I immediately fell in love! I longed for the day that I could put one in my setup. As time would pass, I totally forgot about the Kaoss pad until the new KM line of Korg mixers was launched. I was able to use a display model in a local Sam Ash and I almost felt sad leaving the store without it. Hence, two weeks later I had a new mixer and a new review assignment. Since the writing of the review last year, I have found some new features and I wanted to update the conclusion section with our new "pro's and con's" analysis instead of a raw score. So with all that being said, I thought this was the perfect time to release a short video demo and re-release our Korg KM-202 review! Its pretty hard to explain exactly what a Kaoss pad-powered mixer does, so it's just easier for me to show you!

About three years ago, we decided to use the Styleflip.com services to change the appearance of our all-white Korg KM-202 mixer. We installed a black Styleflip vinyl skin with a DJbooth.net Logo and some other minor changes. That skin still looks just as good as the first day we applied it. Now we're going back and removing the black skin for a new skin that matches the look of the classic Super-OEM Stanton T.120 turntables. In our included video, you will see the removal of the original skin and the application of the new skin which was a great match to our turntables.

My personal favorite effects machine has received a new update. At this year's NAMM 2011, Korg introduced the new Korg Kaoss Pad Quad. This new Kaoss pad has new features and all new effects which allow the user to select and manipulate up to four effects simultaneously and in real-time. Even though my Korg KM-202 mixer with Kaoss pad serves me well, I might just jump on one of these for a review. Details and Press Release, and Videos inside.

Denon has been flaunting their newest piece of DJ gear all over the web in anticipation of its release.

Roland continues to march forward with their DJ range lineup that now includes the new DJ-505 which is a trimmed down 2-channel version of the DJ-808 we reviewed earlier this year and a DJ-202 which is an entry level Serato DJ Intro compact/affordable controller.

Everyone knows just how much I love the Korg Kaoss Pad, and now it's gotten even better. The New pocket-sized Korg Mini Kaoss Pad 2 has the same cool effects functions and features with a lot more innovative quarks that will be a big hit with DJ's and other users. The Mini Kaoss Pad 2 still has the fingertip effects, can work on two-AA batteries, and can work with any mixer, instrument, or audio player that can use the 1/8-inch stereo input. The Mini Korg Kaoss Pad 2 also has a built-in MP3 player, mixer, and a cue point that can store and playback as much music as you want on the microSD card slot.
