Pioneer CDJ-2000 Art-Mix Series

While we were down in Atlantic City for the DJ Expo earlier this month, we were able to catch a glimpse of the Pioneer Art-Mix Series CDJ-2000's that saw DJ's and artists from around the world come together to produce some stunning Digital DJ Artwork. This all-star crew of individuals used a new Pioneer CDJ-2000 as a blank canvas to decorate and express themselves however they saw fit. They were on display across the county at various venues over the summer and we were lucky enough to see them at the DJ Expo. Watch the complete Video, Press Release, and other information inside.

The Pioneer CDJ-2000 and Pioneer CDJ-900 professional multi-player units have finally arrived in the DJbooth.net Lab with just enough time for us to give you reviews before they are returned in time for the DJ Expo in Atlantic City later this month. In the meantime I will bring you the unboxing videos of each deck and a quick physical comparison breakdown to recognize the obvious differences between the two.

The Pioneer CDJ-2000nexus is the latest and greatest CD and Multimedia deck that Pioneer has ever created. The new CDJ-2000nexus includes the Slip Mode function that was found on the CDJ-900's but was inexplicably left off of the original CDJ-2000. The Slip Mode allows DJ's to manipulate a track via loops, cue points, and platter movements while the track continues to play underneath so when the manipulation is complete, the track will continue to play in the position it would have been if there were no outside influence. Check out the Pioneer Tutorial video inside to see the Slip Mode in action.

A few short years ago, Pioneer allowed famous DJ's to use their CDJ decks as an art canvas to make some really cool pieces that were auctioned off for charity. Fast forward to today and Pioneer DJ has re-initiated it's efforts and this time the CDJ-2000NEXUS units have been nicely decorated and are currently being auctioned off at charitybuzz.com/pioneerdjartmix with all proceeds generated going to VH1 Save The Music Foundation, to restore music education programs in public schools.

The new Pioneer CDJ-2000nexus has a lot of new functions and updates from the original CDJ-2000 that will allow DJ's to sync songs together with the touch of a button and it can also work in perfect harmony with the new Traktor Pro 2.6 DJ software. We reviewed the CDJ-2000nexus and showed you just how easy it is to get the CDJ-2000nexus working with the Traktor Pro 2.6 software, but Pioneer DJ does one better with a full video tutorial showing DJ's how to connect and use them in seamless HID mode. Check out the video tutorial after the jump.

We all knew it was coming very soon and today Pioneer Pro DJ introduced its new flagship CDJ player, the CDJ-2000nexus, with lots of new features and technologies including Wi-Fi connectivity, compatibility with Pioneer’s new rekordbox App for iOS devices, and new functions such as Beat Sync, Wave Zoom and Slip. Also upgraded this time around is the selection screen interface for better music searches and waveform display, increased visibility of the needle search pad, and improved master tempo sound quality. Check out the video, press release, and a quick breakdown inside.

The Pioneer CDJ-2000 multi-media players and the Pioneer DJM-900 mixer are now offered in all white for a limited time only. We were on the NAMM showroom flow for the full announcement from Pioneer and they were gracious enough to give us a quick rundown video on the new Limited Edition setup and what it all means for Pioneer. Check out the video after the jump.

The Pioneer CDJ-2000nexus is the new flagship multi-media player from Pioneer DJ that combines all of the features found on the original CDJ-2000 with some new features that is sure to get more than a few DJ's to take the plunge. In the CDJ-2000NEXUS, some of these new features include the Slip Mode button, the Beat Sync Mode, Wireless Rekordbox integration, and Wave Zoom. We'll dive a lot deeper into the CDJ-2000NEXUS to bring you a full out HD-Video and written review within the next two weeks... Check out my unboxing & first impressions video in the meantime to see a quick rundown of what's to come.
