Is Buying DJ Lighting From China a Good Idea?
As prices of DJ gear increase, more and more DJs are beginning to buy lighting products directly from Chinese manufacturers.
In this episode of Beatsource Tech, Mojaxx reviews some wireless uplights from Both Lighting, who come recommended by some big names in the mobile DJ world, and asks – are you sacrificing quality in order to get a better price?

Classic Technics SL-1200 Mk2, M3D and Mk5 turntables have been discontinued over a decade ago. Since then, mint used examples have rocketed in price. In addition, the increasing scarcity of genuine spare parts has led to some unscrupulous sellers to combine bits of different models together into “frankendecks,” which are designed to fool potential buyers.
In the new episode of Beatsource Tech, Mojaxx speaks to Jay from Just Technics in the UK, who has a series of videos where he helps DJs spot the potential red flags when shopping for a used 1200 or 1210.

Mojaxx Reviews Pioneer DJ’s DDJ-REV1 and DDJ-REV7
Mojaxx reviews Pioneer DJ’s new controllers, the DDJ-REV1 and DDJ-REV7 on the first episode of his new Beatsource Tech series. The DDJ-REV1 is an entry-level, two-channel controller for Serato DJ Lite, and the DDJ-REV7 is a two-channel controller for Serato DJ Pro with motorized platters that provides the mixer and turntable experience in one unit.
Both are part of the new DDJ-REV series that takes inspiration for its layout from a professional DJM-S mixer plus turntable setup and adds innovative features for open format DJs.
“The ‘REV’ series of controllers are a new and exciting chapter for Serato and Pioneer DJ,” says Serato Chief Strategy Officer Nick Maclaren. “Following up on the DDJ-SB3 was never going to be easy, with a brand new layout and innovative features we’re confident beginners are going to love learning on DDJ-REV1. For our professional DJs, the DDJ-REV7 is one of the most powerful controllers we’ve ever worked on and it’s exciting to have motorized jog wheels make their debut on a Pioneer DJ controller.”
Watch Mojaxx’s review for the DDJ-REV7 above and for the DDJ-REV1 below.
