Our good friends over at Pioneer DJ spent some time with DJ Blakey in late 2012 in order to get him familiar with the Pioneer DDJ-SX when it was originally announced. The Pioneer DDJ-SX is still one of the best DJ controllers out on the market today for the full Serato DJ software and there is also a new mapping to use the controller with Traktor Pro 2. Be sure to check out our full HD-Video and written reviews of the Pioneer DDJ-SX and watch the cool performance video below for some mixing inspiration.

Pioneer DJ has announced that there is a brand new Serato DJ controller coming out next month called the Pioneer DDJ-SX2. The DDJ-SX2 is a new version of the ever-popular DDJ-SX which we reviewed when it was released almost two years ago. The new Pioneer DDJ-SX2 inherits all of the features of the original and adds multi-color RGB backlit Performance pads, hotcue markers on the jog wheel display, Serato Flip controls, and it is Serato DJ DVS compatible right out of the box.

The Pioneer DDJ-S1 was released back in 2011 and was designed to work with perfectly Serato Itch. We reviewed the controller and found it to be a great DJ control surface for Serato software DJ's. Now that Serato Itch software has been replaced by Serato DJ with a better layout and new features, the DDJ-S1 owners can now reap the benefits by downloading the new firmware and Free Serato DJ upgrade to get the full use out of their controller. Check out the full press release, download links, our video review, and the new Serato DJ/DDJ-S1 performance video after the jump.

The popular Pioneer DJ RMX-1000 effect station for DJ's is now offered in a Pearl White edition. Pioneer DJ has been releasing white editions of almost all of their DJ gear including mixers, headphones, and CDJ's and now the RMX-1000 is getting the same treatment. The RMX-1000-W will have the same cool features as the original but sports this nice new finish to appease DJ's who adopt this new color scheme. Check out the video of the RMX-1000-W and the full press release inside.

The new flagship Pioneer DDJ-SX Digital DJ controller for Serato DJ has been on the block for about a month and some change at this point and Pioneer saw it fit to bless the masses with two new videos to show DJ's what the DDJ-SX is all about. The First Video is a Tutorial video that will take you through most of the features of the DDJ-SX while the next video is an actual performance video that ties it all together. Our DDJ-SX will be on the way to the Lab following our CDJ-2000nexus review, so sit tight and check out these cool new videos in the meantime.

Pioneer DJ has recently released a brand new beginner-level Digital DJ controller for their Serato lineup called the DDJ-SB. This new compact and USB-Powered controller has the familiar 16 Performance Pads layout, Slip-Mode, built-in Low Pass/High Pass filter knobs, and comes bundled with Serato DJ Intro for the excellent street price of only $300. We're currently working on the DDJ-SR review, so the DDJ-SB review will just have to wait in line. In the meantime, Pioneer has just released a slew of new tutorial videos to get owners started off on the right path.
