I just purchased the new Groovemasters and they are the shit. I had Trackmasters but needed to replace them, I felt the need for a change. I started as a Hip hop Dj, now I mostly spin Drum n Bass, I love to scratch and do tricks. And the groovemasters are the best of the best I have used almost every needle out there at different Clubs,but I always take my groovematers with me so I can replace the other needles so my set sounds phat.

I also just purchased the new Technics battle mixer the SH-DJ1200. I did get a bugged sound after I month of heavy scratching, I returned it to the Technics service center and they gave me a brand new mixer. The fader section is second to none, the best of the best. Besides scratching its also a teriffic mixing mixer. The trim knobs allow you to find the perfect volume before you mix. The phono-line switch is set up perfect for transforming. The only down fall is the fader has no volume control once you move it one nothch it sounds like its in the center all ready. But a good Dj could figure out how to make all fit for the perfect mix. I would recommened this mixer for everyone it schould be the new standered mixer for all clubs and battles. it does cost a fuck load of loot though.
