DJ Diary Update: STONX MUSIC Blog post 009

What’s happening people, we have some DJ and STONX live-related news for you!

We’ve been making some big in-roads into our live performance output and have FINALLY managed to acquire a Pioneer XDJ-RR. This means we can prepare all our sets in Rekordbox and are finally ready to spin some tunes for you. Where do you want the first STONX DJ performance to be?

Considering how ridiculously expensive Pioneer DJ stuff has got recently, we managed to get ours for an absolute steal as it had a few wonky bits that we knew we could replace 😉

Ollie hit the workshop section of the studio with a soldering iron and a lot of hard earnt skillax. One of the gain faders was going on holiday as it reached the maximum gain so to make sure everything was even as the proverbial Steven he decided to replace them both!

If you head over to our YouTube you can see the full video (link below)

He’s time-lapsed it and a done a voice-over explaining exactly what’s going on, so if you’re DJ tech-minded the whole process is laid out for you.

We can’t wait to get on the road and play some bangers for you and we’ve got a couple of guest mixes in the works so its all go go go!

Check out our mix for the mighty THC Radio London for a taste of what’s to come:
