Controllers and apps are a good place for budding DJs to start. But 12 year old DJ Rena demonstrates that he’s quite some way beyond being a beginner, and gives Reloop’s Beatpad 2 running Algoriddim’s djay Pro a good workout.
Not bad for a 12 year old at all, but for more vinyl based examples, check out this set with DJ Craze and this bonus entry for IDA 2016.
And equally not too bad for a controller either. The more I get to use the Beatpad 2, the more I appreciate just how capable it really is, even with iOS devices.
I’m going to finish this short story with a friendly request. At 12 years old, DJ Rena doesn’t need to be picked on by a bunch of grownups with nothing better to do than post hate about skills and technology. So given the overtly angry world we find ourselves in right now, let’s all be positive and encouraging OK?
Very cool, nice to see kids keeping it going!!!
Keeping djing fun and dope at the same time…I dig it.
If anyone trolls this they deserve to get stomped. Kid was super clean and had a huge smile. Its like DJ’s forgot to have fun in most videos.
200% agree
very nice! Rena fan here but i like him more on Turntables.
This looks again like: “have a look kidz u can performe ez with (our) controller” But in reality all Tuntablists start with Turntables.. and there is a reason why. I ve so many ppl getting so fast bored on this controllers – than they start playing around with TTs and they start to have fun. idk my experience as a fulltime DJ-Trainer.
No comment
Some of the youtube comments are disgusting, literally fat spotty nobodies just commenting for the sake of it.. why can something not just be plain good with no other crap.
Anyone know any of the track names??

This kid looks like he’s having way more fun than a lot of DJs look while scratching. Good for him finding a positive hobby at this age.
Agreed! Be positive! Be encouraging to the youngsters!
