Pioneer DJ has been making club standard DJ gear for quite some time now, so it's no surprise that they started stepping up their DJ accessories lineup to compliment their premier gear. Pioneer DJ has just released a new 16GB USB Flash Drive which would be perfect for Rekordbox/CDJ users and colored P-Lock Fader knobs to replace or customize the Pioneer DJM-750/850/800/2000 looks.

DJbooth.net team was on-hand at the Atlantic City DJ Expo last week and we are pleased to bring you the Pioneer Booth Video where you can see the entire Pioneer booth as it looked in all its glory. The CDJ-850, CDJ-900, and CDJ-2000's were on display with their nice assortment of mixers and plenty more. Video inside.

Year in and Year out, Pioneer DJ has the biggest and best exhibit in all of the DJ Expo Land. This year, Pioneer has pulled out all the stops and even managed to give us some last-minute announcements that had me scrambling less than a week before the start of the show. Excellent marketing by Pioneer as everyone and their mother was seen at the Pioneer DJ Booth to try out the new DDJ-ERGO-Limited and the new XDJ-AERO which were all on display and ready for all DJ's to give them a try. Check out the entire exhibit video after the jump.

It's that time again! DJ Times and Pioneer DJ Division announces the annual America's Best DJ Vote which is Now Open! All (or most) of your favorite radio, performance, and club DJ's are on the list for you to choose from. They are also promoting their America's Best DJ Performance Tour which will include many of the 100 DJ's listed on the voting ballot. I know who I am voting for...Do You? (details and links after the jump!)

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.

Check out the official DJbooth.net Video Coverage of the Pioneer DJ Booth at the 2011 Atlantic City DJ Expo at the Trump Taj Mahal. On-hand were the entire line of CDJ media players, DJM mixers, and their new Monitor Speaker Setups. There were a bunch of kiosks for people to choose from with a nice variety of gear combinations. The DJM-T1 Traktor Mixer was one of the most popular pieces while the DJM-2000 mixer and the all-white 350 system were visually stunning at the Pioneer DJ Booth. DJ Pulse was also on-hand to throw it down on the decks while we scoured the show floor. Full Video Inside.

Pioneer has been re-releasing all of its DJ gear in multiple colors and especially in white. Following the lead set by their CDJ's and mixers, the Pioneer HDJ-1500 and HDJ-2000 headphones will also be offered in White editions that are sure to stand out from the crowd. They'll be out in December and we'll try to get a set of the HDJ-2000's in the lab for a full review. Check out the press release, pricing, and additional links inside.

The Pioneer DJM900nexus Professional Mixer has just been announced and it is already making waves in the DJ industry.
