Less Weight, More Freedom? Testing The AlphaTheta HDJ-F9 Wireless Headphones

 

AlphaTheta’s first headphones to feature their Sonic Link low-latency wireless technology, the HDJ-F10, were definitely not for everyone, as one of the biggest and heaviest options on the market. Now they’re expanding that range with the new on-ear HDJ-F9 model, which are lighter, more compact – but also cost quite a similar price.

Mojaxx gives them a full review on the new episode of Beatport Tech.

New DJcity Playlist: CLASSIC CLUB EDITS

Upgrade Your Throwbacks

Introducing the New DJcity Classic Club Edits
Classic Club Edits Cover Art

DJcity’s Classic Club Edits playlist is now available!

Our in-house production team has gone into the lab to bridge the gap between yesterday’s greatest hits and today’s club standards. The ultimate goal? To give you an updated version so powerful and pristine that you permanently replace your original files with these new essentials.

The Anatomy of a Classic Club Edit

✦

True to the Original (With Added Punch)

We always stay true to the original vibe of the record, but we layer at least one new drum element into the mix. This gives every anthem a modern, punchy sound that hits hard on today’s club systems while preserving the soul of the original.

✦

Full, Mixable, DJ-Ready Versions

We use the full song (no short edits). To make them perfectly mixable, every edit features a quantized 8-bar intro and a 16-bar outro. We also incorporate an interesting, dramatic drop at the beginning of the intro to instantly grab the crowd’s attention.

✦

Crisp Remastering & Energy Boosts

Every song is completely remastered. If a track needs a little more energy, we’ll even increase the BPM to bring it up to modern club standards.

/// IN DA CLUB /// NO HANDS /// I GOTTA FEELING /// ONE MORE TIME /// BABY /// CRANK THAT /// 24K MAGIC /// I LOVE IT /// STARSHIPS /// BEAUTY AND A BEAT /// FAMILY AFFAIR /// LOW ///

CLASSICS. REMASTERED.

Your CDJ Is Not the Place for Vibe-Coding

 

There’s a trend happening right now where people are installing modified firmware onto standalone DJ gear, like CDJ-3000s. The reason this has exploded in popularity is primarily down to one thing – the rise of development using agentic AI, otherwise known as vibe-coding.

On the new episode of Beatport Tech, Mojaxx explains why he’s really not convinced that any of this is a good idea.

1:05:10 They examine how Rich maintained his unique open-format style through periods of depression and mourning, and why he never lost confidence in his craft.
01:31:55 Finally, Rich reflects on the recession-proof nature of modern DJ culture, concluding with his ultimate philosophy on the deep emotional connection required to truly master the decks.
