Pioneer made their fi rst major stamp on the club industry in 2001 with the CDJ-1000, and steadily the 1000’s have become the industry standard DJ device. There have been the updates to the CDJ-1000 design with the MkI and MkII versions, but with laptops becoming more and more popular in the clubs, it seemed that Pioneer were in need of something special to keep them on top. So this is their answer – a fully-fledged digital media player, retaining the robust looks and feel of the original CDJ while providing all the connectivity and modern features that the new generation of DJs demand.
