Denon DJ has announced a brand new DJ controller, the MC7000, a feature-heavy 4-channel unit with two built-in soundcards. That means that two DJs can be using the setup at the same time with two different laptops, which until now was only possible on the Pioneer DDJ-SZ. Keep reading for a video overview and all the details.

Denon DJ MC7000

We often see a few bits of DJ gear get announced around this time of year – the week of the DJ Expo in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Denon DJ is going big with this announcement of the MC7000. At first glance, this is effectively is a non-standalone, no-screens version of the MCX-8000 that was unveiled earlier this year.

The biggest feature that is being championed on this controller is two discrete USB audio interfaces, allows DJs to trade-off seamlessly, or to concurrently use the unit to mix back to back.

MC7000 Feature Set

• 16 Velocity-Sensitive Performance Pads
• New Dedicated Key Matching and Changing Controls
• Solid 6-inch Touch-Capacitive Platters with Tracking LED

• 2 Mic Inputs with Dedicated Controls
• XLR Booth and Master connections
• 4-Channel DJ Controller with Digital Mixer
• Dual USB Audio Interfaces
• 3 Serato Expansion Packs Included (Pitch ‘n Time, Flip, and Video; worth $ 200)
• Solid Compact Design

With this level of feature-set and included software, it’s becoming pretty clear that Denon DJ / InMusic (which includes Numark) is very serious about taking on Pioneer DJ, who have dominated the controller market over the last two to three years.

For $ 999, it’s not a bad price either. For comparison, the Pioneer DJ DDJ-SZ is $ 1,997 – and aside from some onboard effects, there’s not that much that it does that the MC7000 doesn’t have.

Beatport: http://spoti.fi/2blhvqMFB: http://www.facebook.com/PoesieMusikBerlin based DJ & Producer Wankelmut takes a break from his worldwide DJ schedule to release a new EP on Get Physical’s imprint label „Poesie Musik“. His „Sirens EP“ includes three heavy Deep House Tracks produced in the classic Wankelmut „melancholic but intense“ Style. The main track „You Wanna Know“ features the female singer Joy which Wankelmut met while djing in France and immediately captured her great voice with this track. This is another great „voice discovery“ after Wankelmut so far has introduced Asaf Avidan and Emma-Louise with his previous hit singles to the world. „Tabula Rasa“ is a deep melodic track with great chords which Wankelmut plays for quite some time within his DJ Sets and gets great feedback from the crowds all over the world. The „Reprise“ Track closes the new EP with more of a Tech-House direction, a heavy Bassline and some spooky vocal snippets.
