Finally… A More Affordable CDJ! AlphaTheta CDJ-1500X Review
There hasn’t been a new CDJ released which isn’t a flagship model since 2016, which is a long time to wait if you wanted to buy single media players that don’t cost an absolute fortune.
Thankfully, AlphaTheta have now announced the CDJ-1500X, which promises CDJ-3000X levels of performance, but in a more compact form, and without the eye-watering price tag.
Plus, it includes a new request feature, CoBeat, which some DJs will love, and others… Well, they’re going to hate it. Mojaxx gives the 1500X an in-depth review on the new episode of Beatport Tech.

It’s often the smaller, less glamorous accessories which have the most impact on your quality of life when it comes to spinning vinyl. On the new episode of Beatport Tech, Mojaxx looks at new bags, trolleys, cases and covers for 45 DJs – some for Reloop RP-7 owners in particular – and checks out some exciting, innovative 45 adapters from Japan.
Plus, he takes a quick look at the new MK2 version of the already excellent Howler Audio recorder, which works for both vinyl and digital DJs alike.

Tiny, But Mighty? Reloop PTB2 Compact DVS Mixer Review
One of the star products shown off by Reloop at this year’s NAMM show was the PTB2. It’s a tiny, almost pocket sized USB powered mixer, which even includes a DVS capable audio interface for use with Algoridddim’s djay pro. On the new episode of Beatport tech, Mojaxx gives it a full review, and sees if going this compact leads to too many compromises.
