Livid unleash their multi-purpose, easy-to-use controller — The Block

Texas company Livid have been making beautifully crafted hardware such as Ohm 64, as well as various software products, since 2000 now. Their latest product is The Block — a multi-purpose controller for the digital DJ or VJ.

When we opened the box our first impression was that The Block looked pretty stylish and minimalist. The silver front plate, blue LED pads and wood casing go together very nicely.

Pioneer has broke the mould once again with the release of the new DJM-250: the industry’s first sub-£500 mixer to boast two sound colour filters and a range of professional features.

One of the favourites among professional and bedroom DJs alike, quality filters are usually only seen on high-end mixers. But now with the Pioneer DJM-250 two-channel mixer, DJs can combine EQ effects with two filters to perform mixes that sound like they were meant to be.
