Industry standards - Pioneer CDJ
Last month, we profiled a rock of the DJ booth, a humble platter that's gone more or less unchanged for decades. The Technics SL-1200 wasn't just a DJ tool, but the tool that defined mixing as we know it. The gestures and manipulations through which DJs interact with music—cueing, scratching, speeding up and slowing down—were invented on it. And whether you got your first pair in 1983 or 2013, you'll play them in the same way.
