[TVF] DJ S-TRIX with Vestax

DJ S-TRIX was in the house at the Vestax DJ Booth in Frankfurt, Germany for the Musikmesse 2013 show two weeks ago. Not only was he on-hand in the show booth, but he was in the actual DJbooth putting it down something serious on two Vestax PDX-3000 turntables and the Vestax PMC-05ProIV mixer. Check out his crazy-sick set for this week's Turntablist Video Friday feature after the jump.

Just last week, Vestax announced that the new Serato DJ Software now works with their Typhoon Digital DJ Controller. Vestax Typhoon users can download a free trial for 14 days, or upgrade for $129. Serato DJ brings the new features of the full software such as Instant Doubles and iZotope FX to Typhoon users.

Here is a quick unboxing video of the Vestax PMC-05proIV Black Edition. We already reviewed the 05proIV when they first hit the DJ scene, but I just added a new Black Edition to my mixer collection earlier this week, so I thought I'd share the unboxing video with my fellow DJ's. I was personally getting a bit tired of the whole 4-deck controller craze and I almost purchased one myself until I finally decided to stay true to my Hip-Hop, 2-deck roots and purchase a mixer that I've always wanted. Check inside for the full unboxing and first impressions video!

Our good friends over at American Music and Sound were once again showing off their goodies at the 2013 DJ Expo with their Lineup of Reloop gear, Vestax controllers and Allen & Heath Mixers. We were also able to catch DJ Angelo from the UK ripping it up on the new US-Bound Reloop RP-6000mk6 Super OEM turntables and RMX-80 mixer that will be available state-side immediately! The Vestax Typoon and professional VCI-380 and VCI-400 controllers were in the booth along with the Allen & Heath Mixer range.

The One DJ software 1.6 update has now been released and with it comes an extraordinary performance by Famous DJ Rasp from the UK.

Check out the video of Rasp showcasing The One DJ software timeline & live mode together in an innovative DJ Routine after the jump.
