Look for it in July for a street price in the $500 range.For too long, the DJ industry has been going round in circles – literally. You're probably interested in seeing how it performs in the real world, but unless you're in Frankfurt for Musik Messe, you're going to have to settle for the video after the break. This bad boy also boasts a full compliment of controls for Serato, Traktor NI, and Ableton Live.
