Honestly, I would like to play a song I made a while back called "A (Hidden Memory)" by DevTrend, and I would love to create a live mashup mix with it with the ddj-flx4 :)
I’ve thought about this a lot in preparing to get my own FLX4, but the first song(s) I would play, if I won, would be a recreation of Daft Punk’s Alive 2007 set, specifically playing around with ‘Da Funk’. Daft punk is what got me into the electronic music world and I remember as a kid watching all the videos that people recorded of the set. Even now I still go back and watch break downs and try to recreate everything in my head. Truly revolutionary
I'm not even looking nor am I beginner but I can't help myself... If I see a new DJ gear video I'm watching lol... Great content as always... Keep up the great work
As another 'non-beginner', I would advise you to look at one of these cheap controllers as a casual or backup device, they are incredibly fun. I managed to pick up a Numark Mixtrack Pro FX for £160 (£110 with some vouchers I had) and it's incredibly fun. You can set it up in the front room or the kitchen etc and rock a party.
@@djstuc Absolutely agree, I use a DDJ 400 I bought off Ebay to format a lot of new tracks - its surprising how many features you dont miss from CDJs, even used it at a couple of gigs where the venue had an older setup
In my opinion the Hercules Inpulse 500 allows you to perform the jump from beginning to start your own gigs. has Microphone inputs, more pro outputs, and has the Djuced app for free that is well integrated and with a lot of updates. FLX4 for me is for begginers, but if you want to buy something that you could start working I would go for Hercules Inpulse 500.
I had the hercules inpulse 500 for 3+ years before upgrading to an opus quad. I choose for the hercules instead of something from pioneer because at the time, it had way more features than controllers of different brands within the price range. A brand like Pioneer was for me just worth the price if you’re looking at the high end products, which as a beginner is something you shouldn’t buy. I remember at the time that if I wanted a pioneer controller which could do as much as the hercules, I would have to pay €400 instead of €250. I also think that DJuced feels way more easy to use than Rekordbox. The tutorials which were included in DJ-uced also helped a ton.
Another option to consider is the *USED* market. You can get some really high end gear for fractions of what they would cost new. Sometimes you can even get it near brand new. *My* *DJ* *Gear:* 1. *Roland* *202* - *159.99* - it retails for 299.99. That's almost 50% off and it was near new 2. *Traktor* *S3* - *99.99* - retails for 549.99. got it on guitar center in great condition 3. *Novation* *Twitch* - *95.99* retailed when new for 449.99 4. *Hercules* *DJ-500* - Paid retail for this one but got it on G. Center for 24 months financing. *249.99* for Serato DJ Pro (perpetual lic) *49.99* for Traktor on sale from 99.99
If it were down to me you'd be the winner, sir. I'm 47 and bought a FLX4 last year. I downloaded each track from Mixmag Live! Vol 21 and sit in my spare room, pretending to be Bukem. RIP Conrad.
Cheers mate, went out and bought one my self. Smashing some old school dnb and the newer intelligent style. Absolutely loving it! Conrad has a a massive loss to the community Progression Sessions Tokyo will be permanently etched in my mind as one of the most defining MC performances ever, I think I’m close to wearing the CD out :)
@@Psyclic. You should record and upload some of those sets & songs! "Newer" generations have been recently interested in those amazing genres, the world would really thank you for sharing some amazing tunes
Had a DJ controller a few years back and tried for about 6 months but didn't believe I was 'artistic' enough to make something out of it......but now a year or so later I've got the bug again and would love to win. The first song I would play on it is Darude - Sandstorm. Good luck all.
For over 1 year I have Traktor Kontrol S2MK3. It comes with powerful Traktor software that I loved so much and it gives possibility to add additional functionality thought midi mappings. The DDJ-FLX4 for sure is good stuff to be more familiar with Pioneer hardware that is club standards. The first song that I will play on DDJ-FLX4 it will be Bolth - Demons From My Past
Just sold my DDJ400 a couple of days ago because I lost my job and needed the money. I'd love to have that DDJ-FLX4 and the first I would play is Don't Make Me Wait by Bomb The Bass ft. Lorraine...great throwback song! Good luck to all of us!
My answer to the contest question: The first track I'd spin on my new Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 would transport me straight to the heart of an underground warehouse party. As I drop the needle on that mesmerizing Belfast beat, I can already feel the crowd pulsing as one. It's a tune that glues us all together, just like its name hints. With its hypnotic melody and driving rhythm, this track would be the perfect christening for my decks, setting the vibe for an unforgettable night. The name of this song is GLUE by Bicep 💪
My first choice to play on the FLX-4 would be Iniko "Jericho." As an absolute beginner I bought the DDJ-400 last year and am still really happy with it.
I would have to say a mix: Intro to Jedi Mind Tricks - Design in Mailice moving into Brown paper Bag from Roni Size, then going into Robocop from Mozey, B Live then finishing off with some Chase & Status - Baddadan
Love your layout of the info for the beginner DJs and the ecosystems… First song: sooo many to chose from… If You’re Not The One… Daniel Bedingfield… Cheers…. Thanks again…
Hercules 500 is handsdown the best under $300 controller. RGB pads, AUX in and great build quality. I often use it for small mobile gigs like mall stuff, house parties and anywhere I need to be 100% power outlet free. The FLX4 and Rev1 are lacking in those regards. I sold my Rev1 and the Numark has serious quality control issues. Channel faders fail too easily.
The first song I would play on my FLX4 controller would be: "More Than You Know - Axwell /\ Ingrosso" But there are so many that I want to play with all my heart! It will be amazing when that day comes! 😍
Monocule, Joe Jury - Take Me Home will be my first song on flx4! I'm always listening to Hardstyle and get stuck in one genre, but one day I got to recognize the world has many more good things to hear and I found this track, omg it's speaking my heart, I found another aspect of my soul 😇
The pioneer FLX 4, works with every mixing software, same as club layout and fairly cheap. If u can find used DDJ 400s get those if you’re really on a budget. Just use whatever speaker and headphones u have, on whatever laptop/phone/tablet. Just mix, learn the basics and if u like mixing and passionate about it as a hobby, then upgrade.
Went to a birthday party last weekend And the dj was packing up to leave. My friend had a speaker in there basement and I played a song and the people instantly started singing when the lyrics started. The DJ made joke saying “you tryna battle with me?” I laughed and told him “no sir, I’m not a DJ” he said “you could be. Song selection and reading the crowd are key in being a DJ.” we spoke for a while I helped him bring out his equipment and now I’m looking up dj equipment lol. So the first song I would play is the song I played that night “between me and you” by ja rule and Christina milian.
I bought the Reloop Ready off eBay for the bargain price 150 bucks, the only prob is the lack of mid eq knob (high and low only) meaning when bringing in treb or bass mid will always be included as you fade up. The build quality and features are pretty amazing though.
I am not that much into trance these days, but I'd play Lustral - Everytime (Nalin And Kane Mix) back from 1999 as a tribute to my love for electronic music. That track got me so hard back then so I switched to listening and enjoying electronic genres exclusively. I used to make my own techno and dnb tracks but I've never had a chance to try DJing. Thanks for the vid!
This video came at the right time. I've been searching for other videos highlighting beginner DJ controllers and most of the videos are about the Hercules 500 and the DDJ FLX4 but not the rest featured in this video. Thanks! First Song: Runaway or Mr. Brightside
Great video..i missed one like this on budget controllers in 2024. My first track would be Wagon Christ - Shadows...one of my favourite producers out there. ❤
I wish this video was around when I bought my first controller, the Traktor Kontrol S3! I did like it, but might have gone with a Pioneer unit given the insights from this review. That said, I now have an XDJ-XZ! Also: my intro song would be Manifest by Coco and Breezy. Thanks again for all the great info!
The first tune I want to spin on this amazing Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 is, Safe (Joris Voorn Remix) -Joris Voorn & Monkey Safari, because tune has so many different layers perfect to use for loops, the new FX effects and will fill dance floor in a minute
I'd probably play Busta Rhymes Put ya hands where my eye can see" on the *FLX4* *Numark* *Party* *mix* doesn't have a shift button so the controls are limited to what you get. There's no secondary functions available. At least not from the controller. *Pioneer* *DDJ-200* doesn't have a dedicated effects section or a track browser The *Hercules* *Inpulse* *300* is what I would recommend for under 200.00 dollar USD *Reloop* *Buddy* - is a over *300* controller. Only 2 band EQ The *FLX4* is probably going to be the most wanted on this list. Works with Rekordbox and Serato and is basically a newer fresher faced version of the classic and super popular DDJ-400
Brill video Jamie. Glad to see this as an intro for young people or beginners and trying to bring people into the skill hobby. Music is really important. If you are just getting into DJing then streaming is a great option for the music. My recommendation is a ddj 200 or flx4 with Djay Pro and an apple music subscription, should be able to bag a 2 to 3 months sub for free. As you said though, great intro to the pioneer ecosystem especially with rekordbox too. I have a numark mixstream pro and am dumping it because of Tidals rip off £20pm for a sub. I'm gonna get my hands on a flx4 and use my iPad with Djay pro. Would love to win your flx4 and I would play San transciso punchanella. Ive owened controllers from all manufacturers mentioned, and used to love traktor. Always go back to pioneer and Djay is becoming so powerful.
Just starting to learn to be a dj, trying to set my mind on a controller, your vids are super helpful !! The songs I wanna play the most are "Vois sur ton chemin" and "Lullaby" from Bennett, dj who's really super talented. And of course if I can win a controller I'll post some vids to show you !!
Thank you for another helpful video so i can finally decide what dj set i want to buy for the start. The first song i would play: Hotel room service - Pitbull.
One crucial thing you missed about the Numark mixtrack platinum FX is that it is 4 decks, not 2. That sold me back when I wanted a beginner controller. I'm now a Traktor Kontrol S4 user and while yes the software isn't updated much, I still think the feel of NI's controllers trumps all the others for me, personally.
Definitely Where You Are by John Summit. Thanks for the super informative video! I just started, know absolutely nothing, and your channel has been super helpful.
I would play my own tune "Never Leave" since it has a great opening sound scape! I'm getting back into DJing after selling all of my gear years ago and would love to win this bit of kit
First song would have to be the 12" version of Let's Go Crazy by Prince, always gets the party started, and because the intro has no beat, it can be faded in whatever the warm-up DJ's been playing :D
Great Video!!! I have been using a laptop with a mixer for a while now, and i want to start learning to beatmatch, looping, etc.... the song i would play is jukebox hero by foreigner
Would love that FLX-4!! First song I'd play would definitely be Ferarri, and piece of your heart. Basic I know, but I would love to DJ at clubs and bars for college students since I'm one myself!
My first song would definitely be Get Right by Jennifer Lopez which would transition into 1 Thing by Amerie. 100 percent sure this is exactly what would happen lol.
The Numark's are underrated the Mixtrack Platinum FX has been great for me. Although I would like to have USB-C ports and more flexibility that the newer FLX4 provides. Nonetheless, the LCD's for under 300 is a nice touch on the Platinum FX, and the FX pad switches.
I have the ddj 200 and the software is amazing, but the lack of buttons makes it harder to use (looping, song select, effects etc are all in the software and not on the controller) I know I'm not gonna win, but I would play Formula by DJ Visage :)
Cannot believe you didn't look at the Roland 202 absolute quality bit of kit looks like your marketing for Pioneer have had both the 202 wins hands down and has a Roland drum machine built in.
Thanks, Jamie! Highly informative. I’ve been debating btwn the FLX-4 or 200 as a more portable option for my XZ, which is cumbersome for outdoor use. Anyways, first track: “Bobbie and Whitney” by Kraak n’ Smaak
First song on that FLX4?!?! I know! Sugar Is Sweeter by Armand Van Helden and C.J. Bolland. I was blessed to be able to experience the early 90's club scene and the explosion of House music. I know people will recognize that tune!
If I would win, I would play lots of tracks on it but I would start with Henry Krinkle - Stay, just to make people confortable to the rythm and then slowly I would raise the bpm and the energy of the venue
Great advice guide. My first track would be the recently released track: Delirious by Leftwing: Kody & Raphi. Its high energy, got a throw back stab thrown in and soulful lyrics. 👍
I would play "Different Side" by Michael Bibi. Winning this would be so epic! Such a great video! Thank you for the information. I just started learning to produce and mix music and I was currently looking at buying the DDJ-FLX6 or the DDJ-FLX4. Glad to hear the good feedback from you.
I think right now, given the recent passing of Paul Spencer, and that I played those tracks over and over as a teenager, it would have to be Sunchyme by Dario G as the first play on the FLX4.
Really helpful video as most are about controllers like the ddj flx4 but this mentions way more. My first Song would be Obsessed with you by Central Cee
My first controller was a ddj400 and now I use a ddj1000 rekordbox if I win the controller I would play BRING IN THE KATZ by kw Griff it's a baltimore club track really worth checking out it's a banger 👌

People really should take a look at it. I connect it to a ArtClean Box and you'd think I was DJing on a 1000 lol
Numark Mixtrack Pro FX is the best cheap controller around imo... nice jogs, nice pitch faders, good FX paddles, lots of fun to use.
I'm looking at getting one of those. I saw the Platinum version for 149.99 in Good condition
@@johnsuggs7828 it’s a great cheap little controller, I’ve even done a couple of gigs with it when my main unit was getting repaired.
channel faders went out on mine and I baby my stuff. love the platters and features just disappointed in their faders.

I’m old and just getting back into djing. Drum and bass has been in my blood for almost 30 years so first song would be LTJ Bukem - Atlantis

I'm 47 and bought a FLX4 last year. I downloaded each track from Mixmag Live! Vol 21 and sit in my spare room, pretending to be Bukem.

First Song: Runaway or Mr. Brightside
Great video..i missed one like this on budget controllers in 2024. My first track would be Wagon Christ - Shadows...one of my favourite producers out there. ❤
I'd be playing Access by DJ Tim & DJ Misjah first. That tune is indelibly linked to a summer of festivals and warehouse parties for me. Banger.
Not a beginner, but always love new gear! First thing I would be is Foo Fighter's "Rope" (Deadmau5 Mix).
FLX4 is solid. Some pros travel with it to work in the hotel on tour. I see it as something I will always use
Love me - Bladerunner
I really love this song because the jungle beat with vocal is very magical and the bassline is sooo good!
I wish this video was around when I bought my first controller, the Traktor Kontrol S3! I did like it, but might have gone with a Pioneer unit given the insights from this review. That said, I now have an XDJ-XZ! Also: my intro song would be Manifest by Coco and Breezy.

I’m gonna play Contrast by Alignment definitely, so inviting!
Good luck to everyone, too!
I'd probably play Busta Rhymes Put ya hands where my eye can see" on the *FLX4*
*Numark* *Party* *mix* doesn't have a shift button so the controls are limited to what you get. There's no secondary
functions available. At least not from the controller.
*Pioneer* *DDJ-200* doesn't have a dedicated effects section or a track browser
The *Hercules* *Inpulse* *300* is what I would recommend for under 200.00 dollar USD
*Reloop* *Buddy* - is a over *300* controller. Only 2 band EQ
The *FLX4* is probably going to be the most wanted on this list. Works with Rekordbox and Serato and is basically a newer fresher faced version of the classic and super popular DDJ-400
Jaydee's Plastic Dreams - first track I played on a friend's Technics back in 93. An immense tune so ideal to test the FLX4.
First track would be Camelphat & Elderbrook - Cola. I don't know, its dark melodic vibe gets me every time....
First song... "It's Time" by Al-naafysh. Yup taking it back waking up the crowd right from the start.
Brill video Jamie. Glad to see this as an intro for young people or beginners and trying to bring people into the skill hobby. Music is really important.

Just starting to learn to be a dj, trying to set my mind on a controller, your vids are super helpful !!
The songs I wanna play the most are "Vois sur ton chemin" and "Lullaby" from Bennett, dj who's really super talented.
And of course if I can win a controller I'll post some vids to show you !!
I played first song Numb - Elderbrook. Wow! Such an amazing song.
First track I would play is Simon Doty - Thinkin. Dope remix of a timeless classic!
Thank you for another helpful video so i can finally decide what dj set i want to buy for the start. The first song i would play: Hotel room service - Pitbull.
I'd definitely play organize by Asake. Afrobeats/amapiano is such a vibe!!
Great review! 🙏First track I’d play on the FLX 4 is, A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd - Total Confusion (Heavenly mix) ❤

Great content as usual, my first choice would be Kings of Tomorrow - Finally
Wise choices presented here, great video. The first song I'd play on this controller would be Freed From Desire by Gala
Love to see videos like this, really helpful when you're starting in djing, thanks! The first song I would play is Can You Feel It by Mr. Fingers
TIDAL WAVE - Sub Focus,Alpines Great content! Thank you for helping me start
Definitely Where You Are by John Summit. Thanks for the super informative video! I just started, know absolutely nothing, and your channel has been super helpful.
Great video!!
First song I would play on the FLX4 would be "You and I - Medina, deadmau5 remix" 👌
My first song, that I actually played on the FLX4 was David Guetta & SIA - Titanium. Great stuff, guys!
Love the video, super informative! In terms of first song, I think I would go with Chris Lake - In the Yuma
My first Song to be played on the controller would be Chris Kirk - Eternity. A Great Start for a fine Psytrance Set
Don’t you worry child - not a favourite anymore but used to be my absolute tune when I was a kid :)
I would play my own tune "Never Leave" since it has a great opening sound scape! I'm getting back into DJing after selling all of my gear years ago and would love to win this bit of kit
First song would have to be the 12" version of Let's Go Crazy by Prince, always gets the party started, and because the intro has no beat, it can be faded in whatever the warm-up DJ's been playing :D
Loved the video! Need an upgrade, so for the first song, I think I would go with "ARGY - Tataki" 👌
Definitely Boom Boom Boom, Timmy and Tweekaz. To get the party jumping and shouting!! 🔥
First song would probably be Sunshine of Your Wub by Yookie because my son loves that song.
First thing that comes in my mind that i would play with the FLX4 is Sihlouette by Goldroom 🔥 just always brings that nice beach party vibe 👌
I'm new to DJ and J-POP nerd, but first song that fascinated to DJ world was Avicii-Waiting for love! So that might be my first song to play!
So great to see how much love Hercules gets from you! 😄
I think theFirst song I would play on the DDJ FLX4 would be Fatboy Slim "Role Model", sounds really great.
Great Video!!! I have been using a laptop with a mixer for a while now, and i want to start learning to beatmatch, looping, etc.... the song i would play is jukebox hero by foreigner
My first song would be : John Summit - Go Back.
Great video guys!🎛
Would love that FLX-4!! First song I'd play would definitely be Ferarri, and piece of your heart. Basic I know, but I would love to DJ at clubs and bars for college students since I'm one myself!
My first song would definitely be Get Right by Jennifer Lopez which would transition into 1 Thing by Amerie. 100 percent sure this is exactly what would happen lol.
Amazing video! Definitely answered a lot of my questions! The first song I'd play would be "Mr Brightside"!
The Numark's are underrated the Mixtrack Platinum FX has been great for me. Although I would like to have USB-C ports and more flexibility that the newer FLX4 provides. Nonetheless, the LCD's for under 300 is a nice touch on the Platinum FX, and the FX pad switches.
Awesome video. I'd play Go Back - John Summit, Subfocus, Julia Church
Such an amazing controller! I would play "In My Arms" - Purple Disco Machine.
I have the ddj 200 and the software is amazing, but the lack of buttons makes it harder to use (looping, song select, effects etc are all in the software and not on the controller)
I know I'm not gonna win, but I would play Formula by DJ Visage :)
Cannot believe you didn't look at the Roland 202 absolute quality bit of kit looks like your marketing for Pioneer have had both the 202 wins hands down and has a Roland drum machine built in.
Thanks, Jamie! Highly informative. I’ve been debating btwn the FLX-4 or 200 as a more portable option for my XZ, which is cumbersome for outdoor use.
Anyways, first track: “Bobbie and Whitney” by Kraak n’ Smaak
the first song I would play on the pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4 would be JULIETOTA - Latin Mafia, thank you for the video.
First song on that FLX4?!?!
I know! Sugar Is Sweeter by Armand Van Helden and C.J. Bolland.
I was blessed to be able to experience the early 90's club scene and the explosion of House music. I know people will recognize that tune!
The first song I would play would be Sientelo by Camo & Krooked. Absolutely insane 🔥
i will play million dollar bay on the DDJ FLX4 , that will be my 1st track, good jam!
I would play the track that defined the moment I wanted to be a DJ , New Order - Blue Monday B-side The Beach
The rev 1 I would play PUMP THAT BASE! That was a scratch battle song in the 80’s!
First song at the moment would be „Vandalist“ by Noga Erez. Can’t go wrong with a nice Busta Rhymes sample.
If I would win, I would play lots of tracks on it but I would start with Henry Krinkle - Stay, just to make people confortable to the rythm and then slowly I would raise the bpm and the energy of the venue
I would play “Castro - Dale” which is my own song and my personal favorite!!!
Great advice guide. My first track would be the recently released track: Delirious by Leftwing: Kody & Raphi. Its high energy, got a throw back stab thrown in and soulful lyrics. 👍
I like the last one that you showed first song I will play is That's the Way Love is by 10 City Paradise garage classic
I would play "Different Side" by Michael Bibi. Winning this would be so epic! Such a great video! Thank you for the information. I just started learning to produce and mix music and I was currently looking at buying the DDJ-FLX6 or the DDJ-FLX4. Glad to hear the good feedback from you.
I think right now, given the recent passing of Paul Spencer, and that I played those tracks over and over as a teenager, it would have to be Sunchyme by Dario G as the first play on the FLX4.
First song on the DDJ-FLX4 would be a mix of Summertime in the LBC.
Thank you! This helped me so much! ❤
First song I'd play on that FLX4 is what I'd play on any deck: Sunshine by Dance Nation in the Axmo remix! 🔥
Thanks for the great video!
First track would have to be: Artificial Intelligence - Desperado XD
Really helpful video as most are about controllers like the ddj flx4 but this mentions way more.
My first Song would be Obsessed with you by Central Cee
Working on some DnB mixing, so definitely playing some Sub Focus!
The first song I would play on the DDJ FLX4 would be Satta Massagana - The Abbyssinians Reggae roots and culture
My first controller was a ddj400 and now I use a ddj1000 rekordbox if I win the controller I would play BRING IN THE KATZ by kw Griff it's a baltimore club track really worth checking out it's a banger 👌
My first song would be „The Rapture Pt. III“ by &ME and Black Coffee. Would absolutely love that
Feels like it needs a classic to kick things off: Donna Summer - I Feel Love
My first song would be "Again - Roger Sanchez" just because its catchy and interesting to get attention at first.
