On todays show I discuss Pioneer DJ’s new DJM-S11 mixer the replacement for its venerable DJM-S9, a mixer that changed the face of scratch DJing half a decade ago. Adding a touchscreen for the first time, this two-channel battle mixer layout will be instantly familiar to any scratch DJ, but it is deceptive in its simplicity. Indeed, I can’t recall ever reviewing a mixer that hid so much under its hood.
The DJM-S9 was a landmark mixer, but it wasn’t perfect. There are a host of layout quirks that have thankfully been put right in the new version.
The biggest one for many will be that the channel controls are now in one vertical line – so the EQs are directly above the filter/Color FX knobs.
The mixer has comprehensive control over the “other” two decks of Serato, even though it only has two physical channels. This not only makes it more versatile, but allows for a couple of truly innovative new features in Serato DJ Pro.
By pressing “Deck Move” (in the third or fourth deck screen controls), the track on its corresponding “inner” deck (ie deck one or two) will be moved to that deck, still playing and with all its settings intact. In other words, it will sound seamless. Now, that “main” deck is free for you to load and mix in something else with.

On todays show I discuss Spotify account hacked? Over 100,000 users had their emails/passwords leaked in a new breach.
The new compilation of Spotify usernames/password combinations has appeared online. It’s the second time a credential stuffing attack has been aimed at the music streaming site in three-months. Many users who were impacted by the Spotify hack were emailed to reset their passwords. The best way to avoid these credential stuffing attacks is never to reuse passwords.
Cybercriminals download these massive database leaks to comb through them to find valid accounts. Spotify accounts with a valid login are then bundled and ‘sold’ on the dark web for a few bucks an account. If you’ve ever had weird music appear in your playlist – someone else may be using your account. A cursory search of ‘Spotify hacker’ on Twitter showcases how common the issue of reused passwords really is.

On todays show I discuss my thoughts about Serato and if they are becoming complacent in the market. I also rant about them making the same mistakes as Traktor did and their fall from the top spot.

On todays show I discuss the DJM S7 mixer from Pioneer.
It is a brand-new scratch mixer aimed squarely at competition, battle, and club open-format DJs. It offers an alternative, more affordable addition to the company’s Serato DJ/Rekordbox scratch mixer range.
It sits below the Pioneer DJ DJM-S11, meaning Pioneer DJ has effectively replaced the DJM-S9 with not one, but two mixers.
The two-channel DJM-S7 inherits the exact same form factor as the old Pioneer DJ DJM-S9, but shares many of the improvements over the DJM-S9 that were introduced with the DJM-S11, including independent pad controls for each deck, and an improved Magvel Fader Pro crossfader.
DJM-S7 controls
Bigger pads, bigger “load” buttons, colour-codes effects paddles (for the new Loop Midi feature)… there are, when you look closer, several changes over the DJM-S9 that came before.
Also like the DJM-S11, the DJM-S7 includes all 22 hardware Beat effects, and has a built-in USB hub for attaching, for instance, a pair of Rane Twelves.
It unlocks Serato DJ Pro and Rekordbox, including DVS features, so you can use performance features in either platform. No need to enter a licence key – the unit itself does the software unlocking.
Learn to scratch with Digital DJ Tips: Scratching For Controller DJs
When DJing with Serato DJ Pro, the DJM-S7 has combo pad mode and the new Scratch Bank feature. Serato Pitch ‘n Time is included with the unit, so you can use all of Serato’s advanced key shift and key sync features.
DJM-S7 rear
Note the addition of two USB-A sockets – perfect for plugging in your Rane Twelves!
While the unit looks very similar to the old DJM-S9, including the non-standard layout of the EQs/filters/gain controls, there are improvements: It inherits the improved track load buttons of the DJM-S11, and has slightly bigger pads (though not as big as those of the the DJM-S11).
Pioneer DJ says the sound quality has been improved over the DJM-S9, but that the DJM-S11 is still the best scratch mixer it has, sound quality-wise.
Features unique to the DJM-S7
The DJM-S7 also brings a couple of features never seen on Pioneer DJ scratch mixers before:
Bluetooth connectivity (inbound only) – add a wireless music source to either channel or straight to the Master output. there will be a slight audio lag, so best used for a backup music source, or to add loops to scratch over, for instance
“Loop Midi” – you can use the effect paddles to repeatedly send Midi messages to Serato DJ Pro and Rekordbox (more on this below)

Loop Midi is unique to the DJM-S7 (yes, even the DJM-S11 doesn’t have it). It r

On todays show I discuss What I think my top 4 for tips and techniques to help improve your dj skills.
00:00 Intro
00:43 Make Mixtapes
04:18 Organize your library
06:14 Learn your gear
08:12 Learn other Genres
1. Top on the list is making mixtapes, it seems simple but when practice recording a perfect dj set it will help you dramatically when you are in front of a crowd it also prepares you for different situations which you will now be able to adjust to because you are ready.
2 organize your library I can't stress this enough if you can't find anything you can't play anything. so many DJs just throw a bunch of songs into a folder and none of the meta data is correct its misspelled and all these things things matter in critical moments on a dance floor
3. Learn your gear it seems simple enough but alot of DJs have no idea what buttons do what, what all the plugs do or why you would use certain things in certain situations. It is also helpful to practice on different gear so you can be comfortable in any situation on any equipment if the needs arise.
4. Embrace other genres of music it will help the creative juices flow and you can find other ways to separate yourself from the pack of people all doing the same stuff.

On todays show I discuss SoundCloud is introducing user-centric royalties for artists using its platform. As SoundCloud describe it, “under the old model, money from your dedicated fans goes into a giant pool that's paid out to artists based on their share of total streams.” That means, just like Spotify and other streaming platforms, a portion of my subscription fee or ad revenue will end up in the pockets or artists I have never listened to.
“With this move, each listener’s subscription or advertising revenue is distributed among the artists they listen to, rather than their plays being pooled - benefiting rising independent artists with loyal fans.” DJ Mag teased the news last month.
It’s a big move and huge news for independents who have built a loyal fanbase but don’t get the numbers of the megastar artists who are benefitting most from the old model. SoundCloud has built a microsite to explain more and demonstrate some real-world examples of the new model. In it, they explain ‘Vincent’ with 124,000 followers previously made $120 a month under the old model, now makes $600. Alternatively, ‘Chevy’’s account sees rates increase by 217%. Artists will be able to access the new model from April 1st. Find out more here.
