Now that Pioneer DJ has started making the recently reviewed PLX-1000 turntables to play vinyl, it almost seems like the DJ equipment and culture has come full circle. Pioneer has been taking us all on a trip down memory lane as they continue to release the history of the DJ and the role that particular Pioneer DJ equipment has played in it. Check out part two of this cool video series to see Pioneer's Mixers and FX and their influence on Famous DJ's performances.

The new Pioneer DDJ-SZ flagship DJ controller is now Virtual DJ compatible... We recently reviewed the Pioneer DDJ-SZ using Serato DJ and had great results. The DDJ-SZ will now ship with a full version copy of Virtual DJ and the full Serato DJ software so that DJ's can choose exactly how they want to use the super sized device. Virtual DJ has just released a new video performance to show what its powerful software can do with a powerful controller.

Big Shout outs to our people over at Pioneer DJ division for sending us the loaner Pioneer DDJ-T1 Traktor DJ Controller for a full video review. The Atlantic City DJ Expo is Next Week, so the review will probably be released towards the middle of the month. For now, check out my teaser unboxing and first impressions video of the DDJ-T1 so you can see exactly what you get in the box and to check out the build quality and features. Video Inside.

The new Pioneer S-DJ X lineup of monitor speakers were scattered all around the Pioneer DJ Booth at the 2013 Atlantic City DJ Expo and I was lucky enough to get a full video walk-through of the new speakers directly from the Pioneer staffers. The new affordable S-DJ X monitors come in 5-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch configurations and they sound nice and crisp in person.

Today, the Pioneer DJ group has announced the new S-DJ X monitor lineup that is affordable and squarely aimed at DJ's who want good performance speakers in a small form factor. The Pioneer S-DJ X range comes in either the five-inch (S-DJ50X), the six-inch (S-DJ60X), or the eight-inch (S-DJ80X) woofer configurations and have an auto on/off mode to save on power when not in use.

The Pioneer DJM-T1 is a heavy-duty Traktor Scratch Certified two-channel professional-grade DJ mixer with built in Traktor MIDI controls for many of the advanced DJ software features such as loop, samples, hot cues, effects and much more. The Pioneer DJM-T1 exhibits all of the classic and well-known Pioneer Mixer build quality with a full-metal chassis, sturdy faders, and reinforced knobs. Check out this episode of Turntablist Video Friday to see DJ toMU rip it up on the Pioneer DJM-T1 and a classic set of 1200's inside.
