Native Instruments seem to be charging ahead when it comes to the DJing community, and now they have jumped into the domain of the sample library with their new generation of Traktor 'Remix Sets'. These all-in-one packs gives producers and deck spinners complete tracks by renowned artists and DJs.

Native Instruments make cool DJ gear, simple as that. Their Traktor software has been one of the industry standards for an age. Their X1 controller was a game changer, followed up by the S4, S2, and F1 controllers — all great products that were intended to make performing and the DJ's life so much easier. They put performance back into the market place when the scene was on the verge of digital DJing boredom.

Native Instruments look like taking on the big boys in the hardware department with the release of their all-new DJ mixer, the Kontrol Z2. The Z2 not only controls Traktor 2, but is also a fully functional DJ mixer with inputs and outputs to control conventional turntables, CDJs or any external sound source.
