In celebration of the 44th anniversary of the birth of hip hop, today’s Google Doodle is a pair of working turntables and a crate of records to scratch and mix.

On August 11, 1973, an 18-year-old, Jamaican-American DJ who went by the name of Kool Herc threw a back-to-school jam at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York. During his set, he decided to do something different. Instead of playing the songs in full, he played only their instrumental sections, or “breaks” — sections where he noticed the crowd went wild. During these “breaks” his friend Coke La Rock hyped up the crowd with a microphone. And with that, Hip Hop was born.

Pioneer DJ CDJ-2000NXS2/TOUR1 Integration

We’ve partnered with Pioneer DJ for a seamless plug-and-play integration of djay Pro with CDJ-2000NXS2 and TOUR1, the worldwide club standard for professional DJs. For the first time, you can access Spotify and iTunes playlists directly from the CDJ screens including displaying colored waveforms, song information, and cue points.

LAN Link: Connect multiple CDJs with a single USB cable

Using LAN Link, you can connect up to four CDJ-2000NXS2 players with your DJM-900NXS2 mixer via LAN cables, then simply use a single USB cable to connect their Mac to the mixer and everything syncs seamlessly (same for CDJ-TOUR1 players and DJM-TOUR1).
