Look below and enter today!

Native Instruments
Maschine Mikro / Traktor Kontrol Z1 / Traktor Kontrol S2

One of the world’s biggest purveyors of DJ and production equipment, Native Instruments has grown into a household name within most any digital music circle. Their line of hardware and software, which spans Komplete to Traktor, and Kontrol, to Maschine, meets veterans’ stringent needs, while still being accessible to less experienced players.

The Trakor Kontrol Z1 is one of the newest controllers from Native Instruments,  constructed to be used with PC and Mac computers, iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It has two channels along with a crossfader and a four-channel audio interface, which makes the ultra-portable equipment perfect for the artist on the go. At this rate,  DJing with iPads and possibly iPhones may become the norm for any serious disc jockey.

Stepping it up a notch, the Traktor Kontrol S2 brings a real touch to the art of DJing with two jog wheels, packaged alongside your mixer and FX controls. The S2 comes from the same team that created the S4 (including Ean Golden from Dj Tech Tools), therefore inherently building intuition into the design on top of premium features, like 30 effects, live looping, and music library integration.

Finally, the Maschine Mikro delivers unrivaled all-in-one production right to your fingertips, with over 6GB of sounds and 23 effects right from the get go. Not to mention that once you’ve won the sound and color customized, 16-pad controller for free, you have a store of expansions for purchase that can give your tracks even further depth. And for all of their equipment, Native Instruments continues to update and improve software, so you’re always at the forefront of digital music’s evolution. Many will enter below. Few will win.

DJ Tech Tools
Midi Fighter Spectra

Though the midi pad has been around for almost three decades now, the crucial instrument to producers and performers alike continues to hold its ground. Most recently the young Frenchman, Madeon, brought renewed fame to the iconic equipment, after his live mashup video “Pop Culture” went viral a few years back. From DJ Tech Tools, founded by Ean Golden who has also helped devise some of Native Instruments’ equipment, we are giving away one Midi Fighter Spectra. Now functionality and style come in one package, as the Spectra relies on 16 SANWA arcade buttons, the same ones you’d find over on the old Marvel vs. Capcom machine. The ultra-responsive controller leverages easy-to-use mappings and packs, and comes handmade directly from DJ Tech Tools in San Francisco.
