Pioneer has a new DJ CD player out in the wild, wild East called the CDJ-200—it just happens to play MP3s, as well. I can’t say I know much about the innerworkings of hip hop’s mix masters, but I’m thinking features like a “Loop Cutter” and “Beat Loop” sound pretty useful. Featuring the now ubiquitous jog shuttle for turntable simulations, the CDJ-200 should be available soon for around ¥50,000 (~$500). Pioneer has exported these to the US before, so if you’re interested, check your local ill science mart for availability.
