DJs are a fun crowd, and you want to give that special DJ in your life a great gift this holiday season. To keep you from last-minute panic or drawing a proverbial blank on ideas, we offer up the following DJ gift options.
Numark DJ2GO2 Touch
Some DJs dream of an ultra-compact DJ controller that will fit in their back pocket — the DJ2GO2 Touch is ready to go anywhere and even offers a built-in audio interface. It comes with Serato DJ Lite, perfect for someone who is just getting started as a digital DJ.
Serato DJ Pro
A stocking stuffer for the smallest of feet — the only thing in the stocking is an authorization code, but Serato DJ Pro gives you the full functionality of this industry-standard DJ software.
Magma Bags Riot DJ-Stashpack XL Plus Backpacks
Magma Bags Riot DJ-Stashpack XL Plus backpacks fit most controllers and have hook-and-loop customizable compartment walls for keeping all kinds of gear padded and secure. On top of that, there’s a pocket for a 17-inch laptop. Plus there’s a side stash pocket that will hold several 12-inch singles.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x
Combining great isolation, low impedance for high output, swivel earcups, and two different included cable lengths (this seems so simple, but a short cable is such a luxury to have), the ATH-M50x has it all. And these headphones come in three different colors: white, black, and blue. And there’s even a wireless Bluetooth version.
Pioneer DJ DDJ-1000SRT
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-1000SRT DJ controller gives you comprehensive control over Serato DJ software. It has everything you need to perform at events and parties, including two full-size jog wheels with On Jog Display.
Reloop Elite
A professional Serato DJ Pro DVS performance mixer, the Reloop Elite DJ mixer lets you control a staggering 12 performance modes per deck. You get Innofader Pro faders, color-coded Tweak FX, performance pads, and more.
Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3
Traktor Pro 3 DJ software is designed for DJs, and the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 MK3 is the perfect way to control what may be the most advanced DJ software out there. Featuring a high-resolution sound card that can work with Traktor on iOS, this can even be bus powered from a laptop.
Ortofon Pro S OM Cartridge and Stylus
Upgrade the OEM cartridge and stylus on any turntable with a premium Ortofon cartridge. This Ortofon Pro S OM cartridge is pre-mounted on a black SH4 headshell. For the same cartridge without a headshell, the Pro S OM cartridge will mount to a standard headshell, like the PC-HS01 headshell from Pioneer, which comes with the industry-standard PLX-1000.
Roland TR-06 Rhythm Performer
An iconic ’80s drum machine returns with the Roland TR-06 Rhythm Performer. Beyond its huge range of original TR-606 drum and percussion sounds, the TR-06 Rhythm Performer supports sample import so you can inject your patterns with your own custom sounds.
Hercules DJ DJControl JogVision
With its built-in audio interface and all the hands-on controls you need, the Hercules DJ DJControl JogVision is a complete digital DJ workstation for aspiring DJs. Vibrant color displays on the jog wheels give you instant visual feedback on playback position, speed, and angular position to help you hit your cues and to guide your scratching as you perform.
Technics SL-1200MK7 Professional Turntable
The Technics SL-1200MK7 professional direct drive turntable has reached a new pinnacle of precision performance. It features an innovative coreless direct drive motor, gimbal tonearm suspension, and low-vibration engineering.
ADJ Pro Event Table II Bundle
Create a professional look with an ADJ Pro Event Table II Bundle. This table is lightweight, portable, and provides a modern, clean look. The I-beam is perfect for lighting fixtures, and the white Terylene scrim provides a clean, finished look.
Native Instruments Maschine Plus
Maschine Plus puts the acclaimed Maschine performance potential in a completely standalone system — no computer required! Create beats and melodies on the fly, explore a huge selection of premium instruments and samples, arrange and rearrange compositions as you perform, or craft new tracks wherever inspiration strikes — it’s all possible with Native Instruments’ Maschine Plus.
Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000
Complete with a large color touchscreen, a next-generation processor, and mobile-device support via rekordbox for iOS, the CDJ-3000 is Pioneer DJ’s most advanced media player to date. With performance-focused features like Key Sync to automatically adjust the key of an incoming track and twice as many Hot Cue buttons as the previous CDJ media player, the CDJ-3000 sets a new standard for professional DJ media players.
These are just some of the great gift options that we offer here at Sweetwater for DJs. As always, our Sweetwater Sales Engineers are available at (800) 222-4700 to answer any questions you might have on these suggestions and other DJ gear. Happy holidays!
