When did Trance music begin? The answer to this question is very well disputable, and can take more than musicians, historians, and paleontologists working together to find the correct answer – if any. Some say the first true Trance singles came from Germany in the 90s with Age of Love – “Age of Love” and Dag Lerner and Rolf Ellmer’s Dance 2 Trance – “We Came in Peace”. Others say that Trance originated earlier, in the form of Klaus Schulz’s mixes with names such as En-Trance (1987) and Transfer (1981), while the rest go way back to India in the late 1960′s, and declare that Trance originated as a pre-form of Goa-Trance with its repetitive loops and ambient sounds.

Evolution. Changing times call for changing tools. That’s why our new multi-format player is the natural selection for the next generation of DJs.

It’s been 15 years since the genesis of Pioneer’s first CDJ deck, which led to the world-beating CDJ-1000 series. Now it’s time for something completely new. Introducing a major leap forward for the club standard CDJ series: the CDJ-2000 – Pioneer’s new professional player for the digital age. The CDJ-2000 fizzes with fresh DNA and can play music from multiple sources, including CD, DVD, USB storage devices and SD memory cards.

It also comes with the revolutionary music database management software for DJs: rekordbox™. Based on our ‘Prepare & Perform’ concept, rekordbox works (for both Mac and PC) like the leading music database management software, but is more creative and more DJ-friendly.

rekordbox allows DJs to prepare more before their performance and opens a door to tools such as Hot Cue Banks and Quantize, for perfectly synced loops every time. DJs can then export data to a USB or SD device to access vast libraries of music files and perform live – without the need for extra equipment or any inconvenient rewiring in the club.

No need to burn CDs, simply take your USB device to the club, plug in to the CDJ and play.
