I have a ddj 400 and this video simultaneously gives me hope and crushes my dreams

[HowardCharlesUK]

It feels weird seeing him playing with such a small setup, but this is the best advert pioneer could have ever asked for!

[bobby-goody]

this is sick, would love to see a behind the scenes video - how you organise your music, how you find songs that work together and where you get them from

This is why the DDJ-400 is the first controller to consider if you aspire to be a club/festival DJ. You're going to prepare all your music in Rekordbox to play on CDJs, so a controller that activates Rekordbox is a good idea. The DDJ-400 is a little bit cramped, but it's a good size to put on your desk when you're preparing tracks, and it fits in a carry-on, and it's USB powered.

The DDJ-200 is much more cramped — and it's missing the soundcard, the whole Beat FX section, the memory cues, and the track load knob (so you need to load tracks with your laptop). The DDJ-800 doesn't fit in a carry-on, costs 3X as much, needs a separate power supply brick, and the only real improvement is that it has track fwd/back buttons and a FX selector knob (in the wrong order, and Ping Pong is missing). And the DDJ-1000 (my first controller) has a weird loop section, it's missing the memory cues and track buttons, and the two extra channels are mostly useless.

LOL sorry. I just think the little DDJ-400 is pretty nice! 😂

“Pro dj” ? That’s an understatement, this guy is a WORLD CLASS dj, easily one of the most talented on the decks, if not THE MOST

[nebsnebsic]

Man you truly are an inspiration for those of us who cannot afford anything more expensive that the 400, but are wiling to work for the shear fun and happiness this gives us. Keep up the good work. Respect!

[HelmutEvrard]

To be honest guys, I got this one, 7 months ago, and is great for beginners plus I am very confident using all the features I can do great mixes and I loving it! Absolutely recommended.

[joseerasmotrejomartinez]

This is insane I have a DDJ-400 with the Recordbox software same he is using and what he does is just ridiculous, his skills are out of this world, you tha man James!!

[jordie]

Give this guy a calculator, he will still put out mad remixs.

[snaggednexty]

The living truth that you don't need expensive gear to be good

[technonick]

He made a simple DDJ 400 sound like a XDJ-RR... Impressed.

[VirtualTurtleGames]

Damn he's good. Also so scarily accurate with the quick button presses. Nice

[itsmarklowry]

Plays a few hundred dollar control on top of $10k worth of gear lmao

[danielheindegroot]

I started watching these when I started djing and now 2 years later next Saturday im playing in amnesia Milano crazy to think about it thanks james hype for the energy ❤️

[Feinschmacker]

What amazes me most about James Hype is that he changes tracks so fast, but the mix still has flow.

[Dude_on_a_Map]

James is so inspiring, I’ve wanted to try my hand at this for over 23 years. I’m not going to waste anymore time. Thanks to this man I’m doing it.

[derrickcelebi]

5:10 in the morning for me rn and im still hyped

[MaxPlayle]

Just proves to you, it's not the equipment you use - it's the DJ using it. Just came back to this video, it's just insane really. 🔥

[kamilgwis]

Every DJ should see this video! This is a perfect example, what great DJ can do using any kind of controller/decks 🔥 Amazing job boss!!! 💥✌🔥
