Pioneer DJ DJM-750MK2

Pioneer DJ has announced the DJM-750MK2, a significant update its DJM-750 four-channel mixer.

The DJM-750MK2 is designed to bring the experience of the club standard DJM-900NXS2 to home users. It has four Sound Color FX: Dub Echo, Sweep, Noise, and Filter, all with parameter control.

The Beat FX have also seen changes, with new options like Ping Pong Delay and Helix. The FX frequency selectors enable DJs to choose which parts of the signal are affected. Plus, there’s a dedicated independent send and return hookup for connecting to iOS devices, which can be used as an insert or a traditional auxiliary loop.

Sound quality has been improved, as has the crossfader, which now uses an updated version of Pioneer’s Magvel technology with improved cut-in distance.

The DJM-750MK2 also ships with a license for the company’s Rekordbox DJ software and DVS plugin, enabling turntable users to connect their computer to the mixer.

The mixer will begin shipping in early September with a suggested price of $1,199.

Laidback Luke Breaks Down His Tomorrowland Set

Laidback Luke

Laidback Luke is known for being an advocate for the “real DJing” movement. The legendary DJ/producer, who has addressed accusations of playing a pre-recorded set in the past, often encourages DJs to “play live.” He even held a workshop on “real DJing” back in 2015.

Luke has since shared several educational videos on his YouTube channel, which includes a series called In My Mind. In it, the Dutchman annotates his live sets to show the thought process behind them. The series has drawn close to 500,000 views.

On the latest episode, Luke breaks down his recent set from Belgium’s Tomorrowland festival.

“You are gonna crawl inside my mind and see how I play at a huge festival, one of the highlights of this year, and see how I maneuver my way through it,” Luke says in the video.
