With the ion Discover DJ decks, you simply USB it into your PC or Mac, load the accompanying software and get busy spinning, mixing, scratching, fading, looping, beat-matching or recording. The Discover DJ Decks will mix your digital music and even match the tempo automatically from track to track for totally seamless transitions.
There’s a crossfader, bass and treble controls, and even realistic scratch wheels for even the most rhythmically clueless bedroom DJ to make a start. You can loop your mix, record your performances and, crucially, it is a doddle to set-up and use.
Plug into your USB port and away you go. Available here and also on sale here.

Offer 1 – Available here.
Offer 2 – Also available with Gizoo. Visit the Clocky section of their site here and use our discount code AWGIZ5 at their checkout to get £5 Off when you spend £30 – expires 1st January 2010.
