gemini is changing its look too. no "gemini girls" in the booth this year.
there were many new gemini products in the booth this year but the one that was the most interesting was the new cdt-05.

we did stop by the pioneer booth for a few mintues. we got to play on the new djm-1000 digital mixer. msrp on this beast is $4k. will be available later this year (2005).

we touched the new cdj-2oo. cool player for sure.



its a cdj-100 on drugs. plays mp3s has emergency loop and beat cutter.

the efx-1000 is dope!

we got to see dj 2nd nature spin his set on the dvj-x1.

very cool to see it live. the dvj works well with the new djm-1000. the set up was cool. they had the dvj hooked up to the new djm-1000 and the edirol v4 video mixer and the pioneer a/b video switcher vsw-1. 2nd nature was hot. what a great combo of gear and dj/vj. check out dj 2nd nature here on the pioneer dvj.

justin met dj pulse at the pioneer booth.

pulse was kind enough to walk us through some of the new features on the djm-1000.
