Pioneer Reveals Real Plans for Serato, Gear Heaven (Denon Prime 4+ Unboxing) and more

8th Edition - 3 Year Anniversary CH Shirts now available

We previously reported right here about Serato being purchased by AlphaTheta (aka Pioneer), but don't hit the panic button just yet! AlphaTheta's acquisition of Serato might sound like a big remix, but it's more like a subtle reverb.

Nick Maclaren, Serato's Chief Strategy Officer, assures that Serato isn't changing its tune. They'll continue to support your hardware as long as tech limitations allow, and they're committed to preserving their partnerships with other brands. So, keep spinning those decks and dropping those beats - Serato's got your back, just like always! Check out the full Q/A here.

Last week we reported on the release of the Denon Prime 4+, a four-deck standalone DJ controller with Wi-Fi and streaming capabilities, a 10-inch touchscreen and the industry’s first standalone stem separation. The news was so intriguing, Aaron got one special delivered (shout out to Ben Stowe at NLFX) and was inspired to create his very first unboxing vid. Watch the full video here

People are STILL talking about our 3 Year Anniversary Twitch stream where Joe, Aaron, Justin the DJ, ADMC, Skratch Bastid and Team Ragoza absolutely went OFF. Grab your commemorative 3 Year Anniversary shirt here. There’s only about 50-60 left!

First ever right here… Skratch Bastid not only threw down at our 3 year anniversary celebration on Twitch but he also contributed an exclusive special Bastid’s BBQ crate for Crate Hackers members only here.
