INDUSTRY MOVES: Pioneer DJ’s Rik Parkinson moves to Denon DJ
You might read "man moves company", and mutter "slow news day". But Pioneer DJ's Rik Parkinson is now Denon DJ's Rik Parkinson. Listening now right?

You might read "man moves company", and mutter "slow news day". But Pioneer DJ's Rik Parkinson is now Denon DJ's Rik Parkinson. Listening now right?

A fire sale combined with an ADE based tease from Laidback Luke means that Denon DJ is up to something. And it looks media player shaped.

It's been promised to the point where I stopped asking. But the Serato DJ Pro update for the Denon DJ SC5000M Prime is out, and for Prime 4 too.

As the Denon DJ Prime 4 delivers standalone Tidal streaming, we ponder the idea of streaming personal libraries from your own or other people's servers.

Denon DJ hasn't been lying down on the job, which means that the Prime 4 waveforms now do. Say hello to horizontal waveforms in the new 1.3.2 firmware update.

"But what if the wifi breaks?" said the DJ internet upon hearing about Denon DJ's stanadlone streaming. But playing out has always been about dealing with the what ifs.

Denon DJ announces standalone streaming in the Prime 4 and for the SC5000 Primes. That's some keeping the cat in the bag futureproofing right there.

Denon DJ's Prime 4 unit dominated NAMM. And now we want to muse over just what the launch of a true four channel standlone unit means for the future.

Denon DJ continues to leap over the lines drawn by other manufacturers and delivers the Prime 4, a full four channels of standalone shiny goodness.

Aside from rolling out the MCX8000 Prime enabling firmware, Denon DJ also has an update for Engine Prime and the SC5000 units.

It's taken some time to appear after the beta program, but Denon DJ has released V2 firmware to welcome the MCX8000 into Engine Prime land.

Video is out — visuals are in. And Denon DJ has dusted off their StageLinq tech and made it plug and play with SoundSwitch and Resolume.
