ESDJCO
Aero2 Slipmats (Pair) - Black

The Aero2 slipmats are designed to create air pockets between the mat and the record to make for an extra soft and light feel. Constructed of a long lasting vinyl safe material, the top features a soft velvet-like material with a slick underside making these slipmats suitable scratching as well as mixing (and eliminates the need for a slick piece of wax paper or plastic beneath it). In addition, these puppies help clean your records by sweeping lint and dirt off the side placed on the mat. Excellente.

Durable, high quality headphones for the professional DJ or producer. These headphones offer superb clarity with clear separation and maximum comfort, whether you're mixing in the club or engineering in the studio. The HDJ-2000s' 50 mm driver units and high-flux magnets create outstanding resolution, from bass to treble.

Seems like everyone's got a way of making their control records stand out these days, and these stickers make it a whole lot easier.

Dream ZHP005 Headphones - White

Imported from Japan. These Zumreed headphones feature a distinctive spherical design and glossy color finishes. The headphone band nods to vintage headphone design for a very pleasing new meets old design.

As for functionality, the headphones fit very comfortably and the metal hardware ensures long-use. In addition, you can adjust the tensity of the band adjustments via a screw tightener (which means that the headphone band won't wear out as fast). The sound is comparable to your average DJ headphone with a good-sized driver (40mm, same as Sony's V500).

Authentic Wooden LP Picture Frame

These are actual antique wooden record frames. The wood has aged beautifully giving the frame a rich golden brown color. There is no glass on these frames, which in my opinion, is a superior way to display your favorite records. In addition, the frame features a slot opening on top, which allows you to switch out your records effortlessly. These are also super-easy to hang, just use a push-pin on the wall and the frame will naturally hang on it without any additional hardware. Simple, good-looking, affordable (cheaper than the metal ones), what more could you want? Recommended.

Native Instruments
Traktor Duo DJ Software

OVERVIEW
Traktor Duo is a streamlined and focused version of Traktor Pro, giving you all the essential features needed to spin digital at a more affordable price. Boasting two state-of-the-art playback decks, a selection of professional-quality effects, an easy-to-use interface and premium sound quality, Traktor Duo puts pro DJ software within the reach of DJs at any experience level or budget.

FEATURES
At the heart of Traktor Duo are two playback decks packed with plenty of useful and creative features. An automatic beat grid and precise beat detection capabilities provide you with the correct BPM readings for mixing your tracks. The Sync Lock function makes sure that once tracks are beat-matched they will never drift out of time, and intelligent loop and cue functions even let you remix tracks on the fly.

Both playback decks in integrate a 3-band EQ and classic filters giving you complete control of your tracks’ sound. For even deeper sonic transformations, Traktor Duo comes with six high-quality effects: tempo-synched filter, delay, flanger and reverb, as well as the unique beatmasher and gater effects â€" built with Native Instruments groundbreaking REAKTOR technology.

Traktor Duo incorporates the same user interface as Traktor. The high contrast, scalable fonts and intelligent grouping of graphic elements ensure an unparalleled ease of use and super-fast workflow. The intuitive Crate Flick search lets you visually flip through your collection by cover art and makes finding that next track both fun and easy.


OUR OPINION
If you're looking for pro Digital DJ software on a budget, Traktor Duo is an excellent choice. It has plenty of the features of its big brother Traktor Pro - the main difference being 2 decks instead of 4, and no internal recording (but you can still record to an external source). Other than that, you still get many great features like effects, auto beatgridding, sync lock, and the essentials so you can rock digital like a pro.

Native Instruments
Traktor Scratch Duo

OVERVIEW
Traktor Scratch Duo is Native Instrument's straightforward digital DJing solution that provides both the software and hardware to perfectly fuse the worlds of analog and digital. Traktor Scratch Duo comes with the Audio 4 DJ Interface for top notch sound quality and the powerful Traktor Pro-based Traktor Duo Software that allows you to control digital files with controller vinyl or CDs, all for an affordable price (much less than Traktor Pro).


FEATURES
Traktor Duo Software
The included Traktor Duo software features two state-of-the-art playback decks, an intuitive graphic interface with a Crate Flick cover art browser. Advanced looping capabilities, with multiple loop and cue points plus up to three chainable tempo sync’d effects per channel let you get deep inside the tracks you spin. TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO combines unparalleled creative potential with ease of use and rock-solid dependability.

Audio 4 Interface
Traktor Scratch Duo comes with Audio 4 DJ, USB bus-powered audio interface built specifically for DJing. This low-latency 24-bit/96 kHz interface uses high-end Cirrus Logic AD/DA converters for pristine audio quality â€" just like its multi award-winning big brother AUDIO 8 DJ. Four switchable inputs and four hi-gain (9.7 dBu) outputs let you connect to an external mixer and turntables or CD decks in seconds.

Control Vinyl/CDs
The 2 kHz control signal of the included vinyl and CDs is twice the resolution of the competitors. This unmatched responsiveness means that everything from slow rubs to quick backspins and even motor-offs responds just like vinyl. Pressed with extreme care onto high-quality 120g discs, it feels like each digital file is cut into the wax.

Easy Setup
Traktor Scratch Duo is designed for easy set up and comes with a dedicated set of high-quality Multicore cables. Within seconds, you can hook up the AUDIO 4 DJ to your turntables / CD players and mixer and you're ready to rock. And with the included TRAKTOR DUO software you can also spin without CD decks and turntables using the internal mixer- perfect for preparing a set or rocking an after party.

OUR OPINION
Traktor Scratch Duo is an excellent full featured digital DJ solution. With Traktor Scratch Duo, you basically get all the essential features of Traktor Scratch Pro at a very affordable price. The main difference is the Audio 4 interface instead of an Audio 8, 2 deck control on Traktor Duo instead of 4 decks on Traktor Pro, and the lack of internal recording (but you can still record to an external source). All in all it is still a very complete and profesional digital DJ solution at a great price. Recommended.

Audio-Technica
AT618 Disc Stabilizer

improves sound fidelity

We've been trying to get this in to the shop for awhile now, but they're hard to come by (sold only in Japan). Luckily our Japanese connect came through with a batch! The Audio Technica AT-618 is a rare accessory for DJ's that demand top quality sound and performance from their records. This hefty unit sits atop the record on the turntable spindle and applies 600grams of weight, holding the record firmly in place while stabilizing the record and improving overall sound quality. This is especially useful when playing in loud clubs where bass vibrations may be an issue or when recording your vinyl into your computer (for a cleaner recording). I've seen Jamal and Saheer of Super Family use these everytime they play out (they swear by them). The AT618 also covers your labels if you're concerned with trainspotters. Best when used with high torque turntables (will not work well with belt drive decks). Recommended.
