With the summer now well and truly here, BPM|PRO is looming on the horizon. In 2017 the annual gathering of the DJ industry will once again take place at the Genting Arena on the site of the Birmingham NEC, running this year on Sunday the 22nd and Monday the 23rd of October. For this year’s event Pro Mobile will be teaming up with the NADJ to host a new-look Learning Hub for mobile DJs.

Designed with mobile DJs – amongst other users – in mind, the new PVXp DSP powered enclosures from Peavey provide a combination of clarity, ease of use, and sophistication. Offering ADSP (Advanced Digital Signal Processing) technology, a larger box for better bass, and plenty of power, the PVXp DSP series represents Peavey’s next level of PA speakers.

Showtec has launched a brand new range of compact and affordable moving heads aimed at mobile DJs. The Shark Series comprises five fixtures: the Shark Wash One, the Shark Zoom Wash One, the Shark Combi Spot One, the Shark Spot One, and the Shark Beam FX One.

Monacor UK Ltd, the UK subsidiary of German lighting and audio company Monacor International GMbH, has announced an exclusive distribution partnership with Gemini DJ to supply the UK and Irish markets. The new deal will see Monacor UK stock and distribute a wide selection of both Gemini DJ and Pro Audio products, as well as providing after service support through their own UK service centre.

Ahead of this October’s BPM | PRO show in Birmingham, organisers have announced DJ Jazzy Jeff as the official headliner. The hip-hop icon, best-known for his work with Will Smith’s Fresh Prince, will join an eclectic array of performers during the two-day event.
