Just the main man using them on a DJMag Youtube stream live from the Roundhouse in London
Awesome! I was impressed then and Iām still impressed today. One of the first DJs that I came across when I fell in love with the art was a guy working for a college radio station in Boston putting together a mix with reel-to-reels. At the time there was nothing that would come close to a reel-to-reelās sound. I can say that Iāve had the pleasure of trying this on several occassions. Itās challenging but fun.
HOWEVER, in the long run I think Iād rather flip burgers than to spinnng tape every weekend! LOL
Yeah same haha, hassle for the sake of itā¦ buzzing to see Kerri have a pair of SC6000s off to the side though, feel like thatās a huge plus for the brand having one of the true masters rocking them.
Im a pro. I use it
And then someone say: āI have no time to preview a track ā¦ā
What the hell should he say ā¦ this is awesome
Was pretty awesome indeed to see the players with Kerri, heās a big fan.
Might also be worth highlighting a fair few more proās that are using the Denon Dj set ups:
Beatport LINKād Sessions - YouTube Playlist
More DJs - YouTube Playlist
More still being added
Itās great to see manā¦ the more the better, I know you canāt really say it but I can. One company has spent too long as the āstandardā, and with it they got complacent with their releases. We consumers are in a much better place now because of Denon and their Prime series.
Kerri Chandler is my absolute favorite House DJ!!! Heās an 'effing wizard!!
Yeah he is a bonafide legend, and absolutely great to see him supporting the Prime products.
A proper house DJ.
Joey Llanos (of the Paradise Garage and its lineage) and Craig 'Shorty ā Bernabeu (behind many incredible club sound systems in NYC) are both fans, too. Not much as internet influencers go, but they both have incredible IRL influence in NYC and in certain circles, esp audiophile w/ Shorty. Would be great to see them get some attention for that, hopefully spread the gospel some more.
Yeah Defintely, and letās be honest in the more audio conscious DJ world it doesnāt need much persuasion to get them off Pioneer stuff, from what Iāve seen amongst the Rotary mixer heads etc they do anything to avoid them.
If you get paid to spin on a regular basis, then you are working in a professional environment.
I think you misunderstood my post, Iām responding to the much thrown around opinion that you only ever see one brand being used in āprofessionalā spaces. Namely the club/house music/EDM scene.
Yeah, Iām with you. Iām reminding everyone that the popular opinion and the term professional environment are vastly misunderstood and misinterpreted. Iām on your side brother
Ahhh ok yeah fully agree on that, although personally I refuse to call myself a pro DJ as I have a day job

I am surprised Shorty is using the Prime players considering he was dedicated to the Technics SL-DZ1200 just for their reference sound processing (when not scratching and not using keylock) and analog outputs combination even considering how troublesome their functionality could be.
Then again, theyāre mostly only playing old house and disco. Primeās extra oomph in the bass certainly doesnāt hurt that stuff, the dainty, thin, tinny production on some of them could use some roll-off and warmth maybe, and they tend to be sparser and more dynamic, which better tolerates that sort of processing signature. I have seen a sizeable number of analog rotary house, disco, and funk DJs switching to Prime lately. Itās hard to know what most of those guys are up to now considering wavemusic forum is gone and they donāt seem to participate much in the FB group much. Sad. We probably could have started more of a movement going in that community and publicized it better if that forum was still active.
Maybe those playing old school techno could also be better marketed to, like get Derrick May a pair of Ms. Thatās pretty sparse, minimalist production that can also come off as lacking ābodyā & loud compression compared to newer stuff. Richie Hawtin Iād say is out because heās more the live production side.
āYou donāt see Denon in a āprofessionalā environmentā
Not so: hereās one, pictured in a professional environment, yesterdayā¦
