Last year we were introduced to the Hotone Soul Press, and now this series is expanded with the Vow, Bass and Psycho pedals - three compact and multi-functional effects pedals!

It's time! That's right, the wait is over for DJs around the world. Everyone who was waiting with bated breath for Pioneer to release the successors of the CDJ-2000NXS and DJM-900NXS, can finally rest easy. The new and improved second generation - aptly named the CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 - is ready to dominate the top-segment market. Thanks to a number of subtle changes, both devices have retained their excellent workflow, but now offer the many benefits Pioneer had already introduced with other products.

The new Briteq BT-MINIPROFILE may be compact, but it also sports a highly sharp price tag! You don't need to break the bank to own this great new ERS!

The image below recently turned up on the internet. Based on the text and the accompanying specifications, we assume that Casio is trying to lure us to their NAMM booth so they can present their latest keyboard/synthesizer: the MZ-X. This will likely remind keyboard enthusiasts of the MZ-2000, an old Casio model that, considering the words 'Reinvented, Reimagined, Reborn' is apparently about to be brought back to life. Rumour has it that two models will be released, the MZ-500 and the MZ-1000, but take that with a grain of salt; it's very possible that MZ-X is indeed the final name for this workstation.

Another rumour is rapidly spreading throughout the synthesizer community! This time, the stories are about a new synth called the Korg Minilogue - a clever play on words, combining the terms 'mini' and 'analogue.' Both in looks and sound, this promises to be a great little synth!

Road Ready has announced a number of new cases, specially designed for the Pioneer XDJ-700 tabletop media player and accessories. Would you like to keep your valuable DJ equipment safe with a rugged flight case? Check out the Road Ready RRXDJ700, RRVXDJ700, RRXDJ70012 and RRXDJ700JM350!

NAMM is just around the corner! It's almost time for the yearly show in Anaheim, California, where manufacturers of music, DJ, studio and lighting equipment reveal their latest products to the public. All the more reason for DJs worldwide to keep a close eye on Pioneer! In the last couple of years, the brand was always good for a couple of new product introductions around this time of year. In fact, as you might have already heard, they have already announced they'll be coming up with something new. With #NXS2, Pioneer has set the rumour mill in the DJ community turning - obviously, we're in for a treat.

Gretsch is pulling out all the stops for NAMM 2016. We're not just talking about new editions of existing guitars here, we're talking about a whole new series of guitars. The Streamliner series takes the flair and the sound of vintage Gretsch guitars, and combines them with modern-day playing comfort. Each model comes in a version with a Bigsby B60 tremolo and a version with a fixed bridge.

Nothing is more frustrating to a travelling entertainer, than arriving to perform at a venue, only to find they have a poor PA system, or none at all! The solution is really quite simple: invest in your own., like Take the Samson XP800, for example! This PA system has just been unveiled, and we wanted you to be the first to know about it.
