This is the dawn of the newest, most fresh-faced top-shelf mediaplayer from those unshakeable giants, Pioneer DJ. Say hello to the CDJ-3000. This player has finally discarded the infamous CD-drive and undergone a rigourous redesign to ensure its relevance in an age where the newest technological innovations actually happened yesterday. The first and most striking feature is the enlarged display, the re-positioning of eight physical hot-cues, and the convenient addition of a jogwheel display. The face of this ultra-modern player looks fully prepared to take on the future.
 
The CDJ-3000: A Solid Foundation
 
The Pioneer CDJ-Series has already dominated the DJ-world for years and is still the most common flavour of DJ gear you’re likely to find in the booth at a club, on a festival stage, or in pride of place in your mate’s living room. Since the ‘90s, Pioneer have spent all of their time and energy shifting with the times to ensure that their particular tech-of-the-moment gives all Djs exactly what they want. Skipping ahead to 2020, we get the CDJ-3000. An undeniably professional mediaplayer that’s fluent in the language of USB sticks, SD cards, and that will gladly couple with your laptop or PC and communicate with the holy-grail of all software-based music librarians, Rekordbox. This player compiles the perfect toolbox for the demanding DJ who needs the solid reliability of the biggest name in DJ gear on their side, whether playing a club set or trawling the festival circuit.
