The dynamic duo behind drum & bass outfit Urban Assault and labels Heavy Artillery and 5 Star Recordings Faust & Shortee perform a scratch and controllerism routine to perfection, taking advantage of the Traktor Kontrol X1′s intuitive control over track browsing, looping, cue points and effects in Scratch Live. With some of their own musical arsenal and customized faceplates on their X1 controllers, they perform a four-turntable routine short of none.

www.agiprodj.com http DJ Lars from Pioneer DJ walks us through the new PIONEER CDJ-900 from top to bottom and some differences between it and the CDJ-2000. We cover loading from USB, sharing USB devices over ethernet ‘link mode’ and more. The CDJ-900 is an excellent choice for the DJ looking to upgrade to a Player that will work with USB drives, still offer CD playback and control software such as Serato Scratch LIVE or Traktor. Serato told us at NAMM to look for native support (no timecode – just a USB cable – like the CDJ-400) in Version 2.1 shipping in April 2010.
