DJ IKU, the 2010 Red Bull 3Style Japan Champion, has put down a trap-inspired routine for Pioneer DJ. His performance, which was shot outside in Tokyo, shows the turntablist demonstrating the features of the company’s DJM-250MK2 entry-level mixer. IKU also makes use of their PLX-500 turntable, DDJ-SP1 sub-controller, and Rekordbox DJ software.

Pioneer recently released the public beta of Rekordbox 5, which includes support for their popular DJM-S9 mixer.
