I’ve thought about this a lot in preparing to get my own FLX4, but the first song(s) I would play, if I won, would be a recreation of Daft Punk’s Alive 2007 set, specifically playing around with ‘Da Funk’. Daft punk is what got me into the electronic music world and I remember as a kid watching all the videos that people recorded of the set. Even now I still go back and watch break downs and try to recreate everything in my head. Truly revolutionary

As another 'non-beginner', I would advise you to look at one of these cheap controllers as a casual or backup device, they are incredibly fun. I managed to pick up a Numark Mixtrack Pro FX for £160 (£110 with some vouchers I had) and it's incredibly fun. You can set it up in the front room or the kitchen etc and rock a party.

Went to a birthday party last weekend And the dj was packing up to leave. My friend had a speaker in there basement and I played a song and the people instantly started singing when the lyrics started. The DJ made joke saying “you tryna battle with me?” I laughed and told him “no sir, I’m not a DJ” he said “you could be. Song selection and reading the crowd are key in being a DJ.” we spoke for a while I helped him bring out his equipment and now I’m looking up dj equipment lol. So the first song I would play is the song I played that night “between me and you” by ja rule and Christina milian.

In my opinion the Hercules Inpulse 500 allows you to perform the jump from beginning to start your own gigs. has Microphone inputs, more pro outputs, and has the Djuced app for free that is well integrated and with a lot of updates. FLX4 for me is for begginers, but if you want to buy something that you could start working I would go for Hercules Inpulse 500.

My answer to the contest question: The first track I'd spin on my new Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 would transport me straight to the heart of an underground warehouse party. As I drop the needle on that mesmerizing Belfast beat, I can already feel the crowd pulsing as one. It's a tune that glues us all together, just like its name hints. With its hypnotic melody and driving rhythm, this track would be the perfect christening for my decks, setting the vibe for an unforgettable night. The name of this song is GLUE by Bicep 💪

Another option to consider is the *USED* market. You can get some really high end gear for fractions of what they would cost new. Sometimes you can even get it near brand new. *My* *DJ* *Gear:* 1. *Roland* *202* - *159.99* - it retails for 299.99. That's almost 50% off and it was near new 2. *Traktor* *S3* - *99.99* - retails for 549.99. got it on guitar center in great condition 3. *Novation* *Twitch* - *95.99* retailed when new for 449.99 4. *Hercules* *DJ-500* - Paid retail for this one but got it on G. Center for 24 months financing. *249.99* for Serato DJ Pro (perpetual lic) *49.99* for Traktor on sale from 99.99

Brill video Jamie. Glad to see this as an intro for young people or beginners and trying to bring people into the skill hobby. Music is really important. If you are just getting into DJing then streaming is a great option for the music. My recommendation is a ddj 200 or flx4 with Djay Pro and an apple music subscription, should be able to bag a 2 to 3 months sub for free. As you said though, great intro to the pioneer ecosystem especially with rekordbox too. I have a numark mixstream pro and am dumping it because of Tidals rip off £20pm for a sub. I'm gonna get my hands on a flx4 and use my iPad with Djay pro. Would love to win your flx4 and I would play San transciso punchanella. Ive owened controllers from all manufacturers mentioned, and used to love traktor. Always go back to pioneer and Djay is becoming so powerful.

I'd probably play Busta Rhymes Put ya hands where my eye can see" on the *FLX4* *Numark* *Party* *mix* doesn't have a shift button so the controls are limited to what you get. There's no secondary functions available. At least not from the controller. *Pioneer* *DDJ-200* doesn't have a dedicated effects section or a track browser The *Hercules* *Inpulse* *300* is what I would recommend for under 200.00 dollar USD *Reloop* *Buddy* - is a over *300* controller. Only 2 band EQ The *FLX4* is probably going to be the most wanted on this list. Works with Rekordbox and Serato and is basically a newer fresher faced version of the classic and super popular DDJ-400
