The Numark Orbit wireless DJ controller nowhas Orbit Dj software, a program that lets you instantly take Midi control of your music.

Not much bigger than a handbag magazine, Numark's new Mixtrack Edge aims to find its way into every DJ's life. I promise it won't take up much room.

Want to use your iPad to DJ with? If you own a Pioneer DDJ-WeGo or Pioneer DDJ-Ergo, now you can, thanks to the Pioneer DDJ-WeCAi cable.

The best just got better... well according to Numark anyway. The Mixtrack Pro II is here and has been put through the tough DJWORX review cycle.

One year after our exclusive look, Behringer are ready to push the CMD controllers out, and with a LE version of Image Line's forthcoming Deckdance v2.

iPad controllers were everywhere at Musikmesse 2013, and Numark slipped a new one under the radar, showing the Numark iDJ Flex for the first time.
