Review: Firmware Update for Denon DJ’s MCX8000 Controller

Denon DJ

In 2017, Denon DJ released its highly anticipated Prime series of equipment. Included in the line was Engine Prime, music analysis and management software for the SC5000 player. Unfortunately, Engine Prime wasn’t compatible with Denon’s popular MCX8000 controller, which came out a year before.

However, last month, Denon announced an update to the MCX8000’s firmware that brings Engine Prime to the device. It’s only in beta, but Mojaxx didn’t wait to get his hands on it.

Watch his review on this week’s Tips and Tricks, and join the beta program.

Watch Logic and Marshmello’s ‘Everyday’ Video

Logic

Logic and Marshmello have dropped a visual for their catchy anthem, “Everyday.”

In the video, Logic stars as an unappreciated employee who works hard, but never seems to get ahead. Eventually, he convinces some of his co-workers to quit. They storm out of the office, taking an uncooperative fax machine with them, only to bash it to pieces with baseball bats. The scene is a parody of the 1999 cult classic film, Office Space.

“Everyday” was DJcity’s 17th most downloaded track of March. It’s currently No. 76 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, having peaked at 29.

Produced by Afro Bros and Jeon, “X” currently sits at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and No. 47 on the Hot 100. It was DJcity’s eight most-downloaded song of March.

Nicky discusses how he knew the track was going to be a hit as soon as Balvin played it for him and that he quickly realized he needed to be a part of it. He goes on to talk about how he kept Balvin from changing the original beat then describes the meaning of his lyrics.
