Every year at about this time, editors task an intern a valued member of the team to research the big wide world of retail to arrive at a list of suggestions for gifts that their nearest and dearest can stuff in their stockings in Christmas Eve. But it struck me that instead of one person’s take on what DJs should ask for, we should throw the question open to the hive mind of the DJWORX community. OK we don’t have interns, and I doubt any of the team would relish trawling the usual haunts to pull out a list of cost effective pressies. So let’s flip the script, turn the tables, and get you lot to crank out a list of last-minute ideas for everyone.
What DJ related thingumajigs are you looking to find under your Christmas tree? Have you made subtle hints about certain affordable items? Let a magazine open at the right page? Perhaps you’ve moaned incessantly for the last few months about how far behind the times your 12 month old product is. Or possibly you’ve Secret Santa’d yourself with a lump of nextlevelness. Are there any gifts that you would disown the well intentioned giver for?
Off you go then. And by all means feel free to pimp your own wares if it serves as a good idea. And with that, I’d better put Worxmas together. No I haven’t forgotten you. ;)
I’ve been a good boy the whole year, so I’m really hoping Santa fills my stocking with a Rane MP2015 and a Versus controller. Quite reasonable, no? :D

The Rane MP2015 would be on my list too. A gorgeous thing. Don’t need one, just want one.
Father Christmas promised me a Vestax PDX-2000 mk1.
I’d love some flight cases for my turntables.
DN78 Phantom Valve for me please, Santa!
Pioneer XDJ‑RX that’s all. i have been dying to get into record box eco system
All i ask (dj-wise) is for Native Instruments to design a Traktor Kontrol Z2 mk2!
Thanks
7″ scratch records and slip mats. Maybe a few t-52s to cut down to 7″. (Trying to replace the weight in these sd keeps messing up the motors)
A new laptop. I just booted it up for the first time now lol.
Traktor 3.0
Come on now — at least be realistic. ;)
Traktor to work with Maschine fully and natively without workarounds, and perhaps even as an actual full on deck? Or is that dreaming even more?
the XDJ-RX would be a nice little present… so would any decent fully-featured Serato Controllers :)
Dear Santa-
I’ve been a real good DeeJay. I haven’t kicked someones arse for putting their drink on my speakers at any of my gigs all year. With that said, I think I deserve 2 Bose F1 812s and 2 Bose F1 Subs. Pretty PLEEEASE!!!! LOL…

I would like to wish the people at Skratchworx/djworx a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you for you continued reviews and updates on the latest DJ gear.

What do I need? Pretty much nothing.
What do I want? a new Truesonic sub would be nice. Hope everyones gig’s go well and you all have a good festive season.

The Pioneer DJM-S9 would awfully WONDERFUL under the tree!
Another pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50X headphones so I own a pair again. Hubby thiefed mine!
A pair of tables. XDJ-1000s, or RP-8000s. A girl can dream.
I want Denon to buy back Denon DJ from In Music as they are going to F… Up the brand and name.

Time will tell on that. In conversations, they’re taking it very seriously indeed.
Records! Lots of shiney, heavy, lovely smelly records!
Bass Station 2 and/or Push2
Would love a BassStation 2!
DJM S9 is the only choice for the end of 2015 ! ><
Some shiny new UAD plugin crack would be nice I suppose.. but I guess I don’t really need anything. I guess we could always need more dope music!
I’ve asked for an electric drum kit… Bit of a change of pace, new year new skills etc :)

Good call. I fancy one of those Roland Handsonics for that. I’ve been able to knock out a mean lick on a table top since I was a teen, and have been inspired by demos I’ve seen at trade shows.
I’ve had my Roland HandSonic for about a year now, along with a kick pedal I can knock out a decent groove… I’m loving the sounds on it so getting an Alesis midi-only kit and planning to trigger the handsonic and Ableton with it… to get a seriously good drum brain is a bit out of my price range atm, but i’m hoping that this will be a good jump-off point for learning!
Another year gone down. All I want for 2016 is to get back in the booth. All I hope for is to stop saying that at every end/beginning of the year.
Pioneer DJM-S9, oh wait I just got the gold ltd ed. lol.
Subpac M2 and/or a Fiio X3 to go with the UM Pro 30 that I picked up on Black Friday.
I want an S9 but that would mean I would need a new MBP. Don’t have that type of money, neither does my wife(joint account).
But I’m surprised not too many people are keen on getting a portable Scratch setup: Numark PT01/Vestax handy trax, Raiden/Frisk Faders, & some 7″ scratch vinyl. I know there are a few GFs/Wives out there lost on what to get their scratch DJ men.
I had expected a list of relative cost effective ideas like “I’d love a pair of neo d+ cables” sort of thing. But no, many of you have got very expensive tastes and I advise you to brace yourselves for crushing disappointment when you open your pressies on Christmas Day. Unless of course, you’re going to treat yourselves in the sales. News flash — the S9 isn’t likely to be in any sales for a good while.
i want my gf for xmas nothing else as i got everything i need to produce tracks and tear ish up, but i need a new travel carry-on bag for the new year
Nothing DJ related… Except maybe the Volca Bass and Keys. (and the Sampler is pretty cool). I’ve actually stopped asking for specific things for Christmas, so if anyone asks, A bit of cash will help fund my gadgets.
Vestax Handytrax, Korg Volcas, one of those little teenage engineering pocket synths, a native instruments add on controller (x1,f1,d2), a delay pedal like a Boss DD7 or a space echo, Subpac, some coloured knobs and usb cables, a Novation Circuit and ALL THE STICKERS. I love toys :-)
