Need some help before we get started?
Depending on where you’re at as a DJ, you might want to consider checking out these two posts before we jump in:
Post #1: A quick introduction to DJ Controllers: This post is mostly for beginners …it explains everything you need to know before splashing out on a DJ controller.
Post #2: A quick introduction to DJ software: This post provides an overview of the 4 biggest players in the DJ software market right now. It’s worth a read if you’re new to digital DJing, or even just skimming over if you need a recap on the key players and what that means for you.
Who are these all-in-one DJ systems for?
An ”all-in-one” (or standalone) DJ system will be most applicable if you roughly fall into one of these 3 categories:
- You’re an experienced DJ that’s looking for a high-end DJ system for their home or studio setup.
- You’re a mobile DJ that’s looking for a ‘no laptop required’ professional unit for their gigs.
- You’re a passionate bedroom or ‘hobbyist’ DJ that likes the idea of DJing without a laptop.
How to choose?
Once you’ve decided that an all-in-one DJ system is what you’re looking for, then it really comes down to which one you prefer – and of course, what DJ software you plan on using.
The 5 on this list are all high-end DJ systems, all with more functionality than most DJs would ever realistically use in a typical DJ set or at a gig. Specs and connections-wise, they’re all designed for professional use.
With that said, what’s MOST important is that you consider their unique selling points, and what that means to you and your situation!
An important note before we get started
One common problem with some of these ‘best DJ controller’ blogs you see online, is they tend to date very quickly, which is partly due to the rate at which new controllers (or DJ systems) hit the market. This post, however, is regularly updated by our team as things change or appropriately when new models get released.
In other words, whenever you’re reading this, you can rest assured it’s as up-to-date as you’re going to get!
Let’s jump into the 5 best all-in-one DJ systems in 2021!

Key takeaways/conclusion:
This top-of-the-range DJ system is well ahead of its time in the market, with its versatility and connectivity specs making it an excellent all-in-one option for any mobile DJ. Or more generally – for ANY DJ that has a thing for the ‘latest tech’.

Whilst it won’t be for everyone, the possibilities are endless with the Prime 4!
Approximate price:
Expect to pay somewhere between $1,700-2,000 USD depending on your location. Whilst it’s usually cheaper with Amazon, always consider the pros & cons of ordering through a local retailer/distributor with regards to after-sales service and delivery costs, etc.

2. Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ
Description:
Released at the end of 2019, the XDJ-XZ is Pioneer’s flagship 4-channel all-in-one DJ system. It comes bundled with their proprietary music management and DJ software, Rekordbox, and also works as a DJ controller (w/connected laptop) with Serato DJ Pro and Virtual DJ.
Power supply:
It’s ready to go out-of-the-box, either as a standalone unit without the use of a laptop or as a DJ controller powered through your laptop/USB port.
Product slide show:

Key features/specs:
- 4-channel all-in-one DJ system (note, you can only use 2 channels in standalone mode).
- Also works as a DJ controller with Serato DJ Pro and Virtual DJ.
- With ‘Link’ export mode you can plug in CDJs to use the other 2 channels.
- Prepare your music in Rekordbox and transfer onto USB sticks; pre-set cue points, loops, add beat countdowns, analyse keys and much more.
- 7-inch LCD touch screen + colour on-jog displays.
- Full-sized 8-inch mechanical jog wheels, identical to that found on Pioneer’s CDJ-2000NSX2 media players.
- 3 x USB ports; useful for back-to-back DJ changeovers without laptops, and for recording your set on a spare USB.
- 2 x laptop connections for DJ changeovers or back-to-backs with laptops.
- 6 Built-in ‘Sound Colour’ FX and 14 ‘Beat FX’ taken from Pioneers’ DJM pro club mixers.
- 8 multi-colour rubber performance pads for each channel to trigger various in-software features.
- 2 x Mic input with dedicated 3 band EQs, talkover adjuster and feedback reducer.
- Dedicated onboard room/master EQ controls.
- External outputs to connect turntables or CDJs; all pro inputs/outputs as standard.
- Size: Width 878mm x Depth 466.1mm x Height 118.4mm.
- Weight: 13kg.
Key takeaways/conclusion:
The Pioneer DJ XDJ-XZ is the largest (and easily the heaviest) DJ system on this list. It has lots of pro functionality that would typically appeal to mobile DJs, with its 3 x USB ports, dual laptop plugins, a dedicated dual-Mic area, and onboard master EQ control area.
At around $2,500 USD, it’s also the most expensive unit on this list, with the Denon Prime 4 coming in about $500 cheaper depending on where you get it from. Regardless of price, the XDJ-XZ is unique in its own right, as it’s literally the only standalone unit on the market that almost identically replicates a CDJ club experience. And considering the most basic club setup would cost roughly 3 x the amount, there’s no doubt, that’s a massive selling point!
Whilst the XDJ-XZ may not compete with the Prime 4 in the ‘latest tech & innovation’ department, it really depends on what’s most important to you (ie, that massive selling point I’ve just mentioned!). Just bear in mind, it only works with two channels in standalone mode (not four) – which could be an issue for some.
Approximate price:
Expect to pay anywhere between $2,200-2,600 USD.

3. Denon Prime 2
Description:
The Prime 2 is a 2-channel all-in-one DJ system from Denon DJ. It comes with Denon’s proprietary Engine Prime music management/DJ software and also works as a DJ controller with Virtual DJ. It was released to market in January 2020.
Power supply:
The Prime 2 will be ready to go out-of-the-box, either as a standalone unit without the use of a laptop or as a DJ controller powered through your laptop/USB port.
Product Slide show:

- 2-channel all-in-one DJ system; comes with Denon’s Engine Prime music management/DJ software.
- Both wired & WIFI connectivity options within Engine Prime; supports streaming platforms including Beatport Link, Beatsource Link, SoundCloud and TIDAL.
- Option to sync and import your music library from all the leading DJ software providers and iTunes.
- Multi-function 7-inch glass, colour touchscreen with advanced library search options.
- Supports uncompressed audio files including FLAC, ALAC and WAV files.
- Keep your entire music collection on board; load your music either via the built-in SATA hard drive (hard drive not included), multiple USB ports, or the SD card insert.
- 6-inch touch-capacitive metal jog wheels, with HD display in centre for track artwork or your personal logo, plus customizable RGB light for visual preference.
- 14 FX controls taken from Denon’s X1800 pro club mixer.
- 8 performance pads for each channel for Hot cue, Loop, Roll, Slicer, and samples.
- StagelinQ connectivity for Event/Pro DJ lighting and video control.
- 2 dedicated Mic inputs with EQ, level, and talkover controls.
- Powerful Key Sync controls for seamless harmonic mixing.
- Size: Width 644.8mm x Depth 410.1mm x Height 120.2mm.
- Weight: 7.2kg.
Key takeaways/conclusion:
The Prime 2 has most of the same ‘tech-leading’ features that we spoke above with the prime 4 – such as the built-in hard drive and SD card inserts, and wired & WIFI connectivity. With it’s smaller, non-adjustable touchscreen, it’s basically a stripped-down 2-channel version of it.
At around $1,500 USD, the Prime 2 is marginally cheaper than the XDJ-RX2 (Pioneer’s 2-channel standalone contender that’s next on this list), and there’s no question that its way more advanced from a tech/innovation perspective. And whilst you can’t connect turntables or CDJs with this unit, it still has just about everything that most mobile DJs are ever going to need.
If we were to assume that you’re sold on getting an all-in-one DJ system from Denon, then the only question you really have to ask yourself is – ‘do I just pay an extra $400 (give or take) and get the Prime 4’?
Approximate price:
Expect to pay anywhere between $1,400-1,850 USD depending on where you’re located and where you get from.

If your heart is set on an all-in-one unit from Pioneer – and, if you think you’re never going to use 4 channels – then this is possibly the one for you. It’s approximately $500 USD cheaper than the 4-channel XDJ-XZ, and it’s got just about everything your average bedroom DJ (or indeed mobile professional) would likely ever need.
It’s also worth noting that you ARE able to connect CDJs and turntables with the RX2, unlike its closest competitor in this category, Denon’s Prime 2.
Approximate price:
Expect to pay anywhere between $1,700-2,100 USD.

Conclusion:
The MCX8000 is an extremely versatile unit, and is built to last. It’s definitely worth considering for any mobile DJ that uses Serato, or indeed by DJ that uses their own gear in a venue. To give some perspective within this category, it’s a whopping $600 (give or take) cheaper than the Denon Prime 4. And, as I’m sure you’ll agree, it really looks the part as well!
Approximate price:
Expect to pay between $1,000-1,300 USD depending on your location. Whilst it’s usually cheaper with Amazon, always consider the pros & cons of ordering through a local retailer/distributor with regards to after-sales service and delivery costs, etc.

6?? Denon Prime Go
The Prime Go from Denon DJ is a battery-powered, standalone DJ system that’s designed for professional use. No phone or laptop required …just stick in your SD card and you’re good to go!
Priced at about a grand, everything is high-quality on this unit, plus you get all the latest tech that we’ve come to expect from Denon. Considering the size of this unit (seriously, it’s tiny!), it could be used for those gigs where there isn’t much room, or maybe as a backup or travel controller perhaps …if that solves a problem for you.
Because of its lack of mainstream appeal, unfortunately it didn’t make our top 5. If it sounds interesting feel free to check out the website.

Return to Rio releases more tickets after passing bushfire site assessment
Return to Rio has just released extra tickets for their Halloween weekender this October. the 3-day fancy dress gathering will take place the Del Rio Riverside Resort in NSW from 29–31 Oct, 2021. The post Return to Rio releases more tickets after passing bushfire site assessment appeared first on The DJ...
Return to Rio has just increased the ticket allocation for their Halloween weekender this October. Organisers of the festival recently announced the news after they passed a new bushfire-related legislation site assessment.
With the current festival situation here in Australia, the extra tickets will surely be snapped up quickly!
The 3-day fancy dress gathering will once again return to the Del Rio Riverside Resort in NSW from 29– 31 October, for what’s probably the best pre-summer party Australia has to offer (even under normal circumstances).
More about Return to Rio
More than just a dance party that consistently attracts some of the world’s best artists and DJs, Return to Rio is undoubtedly a weekend away with a difference.
Previous headliners include the likes of Carl Cox, The Martinez Brothers, plus a whole stack of other big names.
Aside from the music — an eclectic mix of house, electronic, reggae, soul and funk — the location offers festival-goers a list of activities that includes sipping cocktails by the pool, recharging your batteries with a float along the river, and even yoga & meditation.
The resort is located 1.5hrs north of Sydney on the Hawkesbury River at Wiseman’s Ferry in NSW, and also features a nine-hole golf course, waterpark, volleyball, tennis courts and a clubhouse.
Where to get tickets
Organisers will release the extra tickets to email subscribers on Thursday 17th June. If any tickets remain after that they’ll go on general sale (together with glamping packages) on 1st July.
There’s every chance they’ll be gone by the time you read this, so don’t shoot the messenger if you’re too late! Best thing you can do is sign up to the Return to Rio email list.
If the event is cancelled due to COVID-19, the event will be rescheduled. If for any reason you can’t attend the new date, you’ll be issued a credit for another event, or to use for the festival the following year.
Return to Rio 2021 starts at 11am on Friday 29th October and finishes at 11pm on Sunday 31st October.

Amsterdam’s Mysteryland festival gets green light for end of August
Amsterdam’s long-standing electronic music festival, Mysteryland, has officially been given the green light to go ahead this August. The post Amsterdam’s Mysteryland festival gets green light for end of August appeared first on The DJ...
Amsterdam’s long-standing electronic music festival, Mysteryland, has officially been given the green light to go ahead this August.
Dutch government officials have said that whilst there’s still a small chance the situation will change, for now, Mysteryland will take place.
This comes just one week after Unum Festival in Albania officially became the first European music festival to take place without any Covid restrictions.
More significantly, the announcement comes just two weeks since Exit Festival announced their approval from the Serbian authorities to go ahead in July, which will make Exit the first major European music festival to go ahead since the pandemic began.
Mysteryland organisers had this to say:
‘’During the last months, we’ve been in close contact with our national and local government. With the current roadmap for large events in place, all lights are green for the end of August. This means that Mysteryland will be taking place this summer!
Mysteryland
We cannot express to you how excited we are to be able to unite again and would like to thank everyone who’s chosen to keep or buy their tickets in these uncertain times. Your love and trust keep us going and we cannot wait to repay the favour in August!’’.
Mysteryland expects that there will be few or no extra Covid measures during the festival. This means that social distancing and mask-wearing might not be mandatory, although there is a possibility that proof of a negative test or proof of vaccination will be required.
International travel and tickets…
Whilst it’s looking promising at this stage that large parts of Europe will be able to travel back & forth freely to the Netherlands, it’s best to check in real-time based on your location. Note that the Dutch government isn’t making any travel guarantees!
At the time of writing, only Sunday passes were available, with Friday & Saturday completely sold out.
Visit the Mysteryland website for more info, or check out our other dance music festivals in Amsterdam.
Mysteryland festival 2021 is set to take place from 27-29 August in Haarlemmermeer near Amsterdam. The well-established electronic music festival hosted around 100,000 party-goers last time round in 2019.

New photography book documents UK rave culture from 2000 to 2005

UK-based photographer Matthew Smith is set to release his second book: Full On. Non-Stop. All Over – a photography book that captures human rave behaviour between 2000 & 2005.
At the turn of the millennium when Matthew started the project (working out of Bristol), he travelled the length and breadth of the country, capturing events of every genre and culture. The results of which provided an intimate snapshot of UK club culture.
Here’s what Matthew said about the new book, and why he waited until now to release it:
“We now live in times when digitally mediated behaviour seems to have taken over direct human behaviour, we have all just experienced a prolonged period of self-isolation in order to combat a virus. The reason for publishing this book now is to remind people of a time when the joyous unfettered energy of rave was everywhere, of a time when people were actually present in the moment, independent and free.
“I hope these images serve as a celebration of the honest human interaction from happier, less complicated times. I hope this book shines a little light during all this darkness, and that it reminds us of why we need to protect and preserve the best elements of club culture. Because that old saying is true: those who rave together, stay together.”
Full On. Non-Stop. All Over is currently available to pre-order via Trip Publishing, and will begin distributing on the 28th June, 2021.
Whilst the book would perhaps be most intriguing to those born in the early 80s, you’d have to say it’s also significant, as these were the last years before camera phones & social media became part of everyday life.

In case you didn’t know, Snowbombing is a week-long festival established in 1999, that has a solid track record for inviting world-class DJs and bands.
It’s a festival up a mountain (8,497ft above to be exact), in one of the finest ski resorts in Europe, with not a tent in sight.
In addition to the luxury hotels and cultural cuisines, activities/pastimes include comedy shows, mountaintop yoga & meditation, spas & pools, chairlift speed-dating (yes, really) and the famous watersplash challenge.
The resort seems to have you covered for most things. Visit their website here for more info.
Snowbombings official ticketing partner Kaboodle recommends extending your stay to arrive on 2nd or 3rd of April, departing on 10th April.
