Pioneer DJ have given a release date for their new entry-level DJ controller aimed at those just starting out and house parties. The Pioneer DDJ 400 is available right now and has a retail price of just £249!

Pioneer DJ says it's for those who “want to try DJing at home and see how far you can take it”, calling it “the perfect controller to learn on”.

The controller is compatible with the new Tutorial feature for rekordbox, teaching you the basics of equipment operation step by step, to teach those of you who’ve never even touched the decks before.

The kit is “lightweight and portable”, and comes with a club-style layout. Key operations such as play/pause and cue buttons are laid out like the professional Pioneer DJ ranges, allowing you to get familiar with the kit you might hope to play on in clubs in the future.

Check out the video below.
