You’ve got to give it up to Pioneer DJ. Since introducing the DJM-S9 in August, the company has enlisted an impressive list of turntablists to showcase their mixer with short yet convincing routines. So far, world champions ESKEI83, Shintaro, Kentaro, and Mr Switch have showed us what the S9 is capable of, and now it’s Jon1st‘s turn. Watch above as the 2013 DMC Online Champ demonstrates some of the S9’s onboard Beat FX and Serato DJ FX with a track by his group, GOALS. As our new team member DJ Reddi put it: “Jon1st never disappoints.”

Watch Jon1st Cut Up a Ragga-Influenced Jungle Track


 
Jon1st is one of our favorite turntablists from the UK; his technique is rooted in tradition, but he also brings a futuristic approach. For his latest video, the former DMC World Online Champ flips “Steppin'” from Sam Binga and Deft’s Nuh Chat EP. The jungle and ragga-influenced routine is beautifully shot and features Jon’s razor-sharp cuts. If you like what you see, watch Jon get busy in DJcityTV’s “Cutting Room” series alongside fellow UK turntablists Woody, Mr Switch, TigerStyle, Muzzell, and Mighty Atom.
