It's November! Time for us to get caught up on the seasonal updates with our Fall 2017 Bulletin!

• First, we respond to a voicemail from Avery looking for some clarity on DJ terminology.
  
  
• Thank a Veteran! (United States holiday - Veteran's Day)
  
  
• Pioneer DJS-1000: A totally different piece of gear from Pioneer, focusing on sample based performing, allowing a new way for DJs to create loops, textures, and songs on the fly, or create projects ahead of time and play them "live", while integrating with Pioneer's Pro DJ Link.
  
  
• XDJ-RX2: The next iteration of Pioneer's WILDLY popular completely standalone Rekordbox DJ controller.
  
  
• Reloop Touch - Touch screen controller for Virtual DJ, also includes video mixing at a very reasonable price.
  
  
• Pioneer & TC Supply developed a new protocol over Pro DJ Link to send relevant song and track information to integrate with VJ software, such as Show Control.
  
  
• MixCloud & Warner Music Group strike a deal, leaving many guessing what is to come, since the communication coming from MixCloud does NOT indicate any resemblance to the $9.99/month subscription services already on the market.
  
  
• Berlin nightclub Liquid Sky bans turntables and CDJs to promote alternative styles and technologies for DJ performances.
  
  
• Rusko announces he is cancer-free!
