Serato Adds Support For More New (Old) Mixers! And Pioneer DJ Tahoe Updates…
After the surprise addition of support for the Traktor Kontrol Z2 and some other hardware to their DJ Pro software last year, Serato are back at it again. This time, in version 4.0.6, they’ve added support for some older Pioneer DJ mixers – the DJM-250 Mk2, the DJM-450, and the DJM-750 Mk2.
Mojaxx takes a look at the update, and also reports on the latest, rather overdue, driver releases for MacOS Tahoe from Pioneer DJ.

A Wireless Touchscreen Midi Controller… For $30! DJ Touch 1 Review
What if there was a touchscreen midi controller, which could connect to your favorite DJ software, and be used to control stems functions, hot cues, or even your crossfader – all wirelessly. And what if that controller only cost around 30 bucks? Well, Mixmaster G has created the DJ Touch 1, based around the super cheap ESP32 board, which does all of that – with the only caveat being, you have to get your hands dirty with a little bit of DIY.
Definitely do some research before you order parts for this, to be sure it’ll work for your setup… You can learn more about the DJ Touch 1 here: https://www.atgr.nl/

Digital Loops and Hot Cues… With Real Vinyl? QuickLoops Pro First Look
Loopers and loop pedals have been used by turntablists for many years, but they always require the purchase of extra hardware.
The new app, QuickLoops Pro, harnesses the features of existing DVS-capable mixers, and enables DJs to capture 8 loops per deck, and use those loops as hot cues – even when playing real vinyl.
It has the potential to enable really creative new routines, or even just be used as a utility when spinning sets on wax. And the best part is? It’s completely free – at least for now. Mojaxx breaks down what the app is all about.

The MacBook Neo For DJing: Maybe Not?
Apple’s new entry-level MacBook Neo is set to shake up the laptop market with it’s $600 price-tag. And naturally, DJs are wondering if it’s suitable for use in their performances. Whilst we have some first-hand accounts which say everything works, Mojaxx still has some doubts about whether the Neo is actually a wise choice.
Check out Mojaxx’s discussion of the MacBook Neo from Apple on DJcity TV.

Beatport and Beatsource to Unite Into One Premium DJ Platform
Beatport is leveling up its global DJ ecosystem with the announcement that Beatsource will officially be integrated into Beatport, bringing both platforms together into a single premium destination built for discovery, curation, and performance.
Starting March 2026, Beatsource subscribers will begin transitioning to Beatport through a guided migration process rolling out over the coming months. Once complete, DJs will access their accounts entirely through Beatport, combining Beatsource’s expertly curated open-format catalog with Beatport’s deep electronic music library under one roof.
The result: one streamlined platform connecting hip-hop, pop, Latin, rock, and open-format essentials alongside the world’s largest electronic music ecosystem, designed to support DJs everywhere from crate digging to peak-time performance.
“We’re raising the bar for what a premium DJ service should be,” said Beatport CEO Robb McDaniels, highlighting the goal of delivering a unified experience that pairs trusted curation with unmatched musical depth.
What this means for Beatsource users:
The transition is designed to be seamless, with key account features moving directly into Beatport, including:
Same login credentials
Playlists Active streaming plans
Purchase history (transferred as playlists)
Existing subscriptions will also carry over:
Beatsource ($12.99/month) → Beatport Advanced
– Price honored for three months after transfer, then renews at $15.99/month
Beatsource Pro+ ($34.99/month) → Beatport Professional+
– Monthly pricing remains unchanged
When will this migration be taking place?
On Tuesday, March 3, Beatsource will officially begin its migration process. The migration is being rolled out in phases. The best way to check your eligibility is to log in to your account at Beatsource.com. If you aren’t eligible yet, don’t worry, we are moving quickly. Keep an eye on your inbox for a personal invitation or check back periodically for updates.
We’ll be coming out with a step-by-step guide to help you through the process of transferring over your existing Beatsource library and playlists, so watch this space.
After migration, access to Beatsource as a standalone platform will sunset, with all services continuing through Beatport.
The integration marks a major evolution for The Beatport Group, bringing its DJ communities closer together and creating a single, future-focused platform built to power DJs across every genre and every dance floor.

Serato DJ Pro for the Rane SYSTEM ONE is here, and this is why it matters
Around a month after the Rane SYSTEM ONE was released, the new version of Serato DJ Pro has just been released for it. That’ll be followed soon by Algoriddim’s djay Pro, and Virtual DJ.
Some DJs might wonder why adding software support is so imporant for a device like the SYSTEM ONE, which is focused around the onboard Engine OS standalone experience, but in the new episode of Beatsource Tech, Mojaxx breaks down all the reasons why it matters.
