Contrary to what you believed in college, being a DJ is much more difficult than just being a human iPod. You could just turn on crossfade, pop your collar and go pound PBRs, but eventually someone will turn on the Michael Bolton playlist. When that happens, you lose all music credibility (unless you’re in Lonely Island). You need to be a little more hands on with your jockey duties and Gemini wants to help. The FirstMix USB DJ Controller is the DJ equivalent of the training bra. Even if you know nothing about what you’re doing, you’re going to look good and be protected in the process. It’s got scratch wheels, rotaries and a cross fader and works with any library including iTunes. And it includes the Cross LE DJ software so you can learn to scratch like a pro. Look out Tiesto.
