I've dj'd on two channel battle mixer most of my life going back as far as the early 80's, 1: because that's what was available 2: that's what I could afford. Then my partner got a GLI 9000, the four channels overwhelmed me but if I wanted to mix I had to get over it. Then some thirty years later the digital age came. Listen the moral to this long ass story is as a dj you have to adapt or get left behind. The gear is constantly evolving, you have to evolve with it. The V10 must've really blew some dj's minds😂😂😂
I have done plenty of hip hop mixing and plenty of scratching and cutting on a 900nxs2. The crossfader is nearly identical to the S-11 minus the extra clicking sound. I don’t even mind the clicking, because with music on blast you don’t hear it much and I practice with headphones at home. That mixer is great to have a set of turntables and CDJ’s hooked up to practice both formats of play. I’m no audiophile and can barely hear a difference between the higher end mixers unless compared back to back. Just my 2c.
I def get what you're saying and I agree you should be able to play on anything... Or at least the more known setups. And I agree that equipment isn't genre specific but there's def equipment that's more suited to specific styles... Most Hip hop DJ's and turntablist aren't going to want a 4 channel rotary mixer while most techno DJ's aren't going to want a magvel crossfader and 16 performance pads... But I see Lots of hip hop DJ's using the 900 mixers and DJ snake was still using turntables untill very recently... Just get what you like and get familiar with as much as possible...I love this content and can't wait for more
Some mixers are genre specific tho. If I’m a hip hop trick mixer I may want to keep it old school and get me a Vestax 06 pro because of how thin it is. On the same token I wouldn’t want to go with something like the Euphonia, or any other Rotary mixer.
Road Pods' hosts never called it an Edm mixer. One of the guests was the one that called it as such. Everyone was hating on Dj Crooked's take, but he was spot on in that interview, as he usually always is. Respect ur take on the matter as well, salute Pdot.
I think you’re misconstruing what was said to make a video. No one said the gear was exclusively made for a single genre and no one said not to learn both. But the truth is they both have feature sets that make each more useful to each genre and each genre has leaned into adapting one or the other. Hip hop Dj’s generally don’t need the 2 extra channels and aren’t going to shell out big bucks for that if they don’t need it and generally edm Dj’s aren’t as aggressive and have time for alll those fx settings. It’s not even a new thing. I don’t remember ever seeing a DMC winner using a 900 and you don’t see 2 channel battle mixers at festivals. Eskei is an outlier because he doesn’t mix like a traditional edm guy. Even James Hype said he learned to play on that mixer because he wanted to play house/edm festivals and knew that’s the mixer that genre uses traditionally.
Bro… That Was The Past. As We Are Today. With The Tech We Have Available Now. That Is A EDM Mixer… If You Meet Someone Who Wants To Start DJing House Music Today And They Ask You What To Buy To Practice You Are Gonna Recommend The FLX 4 Over The Rev-1. Why Is This Still A Debate Of Soundcards? It's 2024. Love Your Videos Bro!
I have to disagree with you there. If a new DJ asked me what entry level controller they should buy I would ask them what software they wanted to use and give them a suggestion based on that. I know dance music DJs that use both, and I know open format DJs that use both. It's really about what software platform you are interested in using more than the genre.
Don’t forget using BROKEN gear at clubs! Lol
You should be able to play on anything but the mixers out there are so diverse- there is def. one that will compliment your style more than others.

You know too much to have any argument against you. Without even watching the full video yet
Thank you for the kind words!

Sorry for being unclear. I meant it was called an EDM mixer (yes, by a guest) on the ROAD podcast, not necessarily the hosts called it an EDM mixer!
ROAD didn’t call it an EDM mixer tho
