Pioneer DJ Celebrates their 20th Birthday

Pioneer have been active on the Dj market for 20 years now. Time to celebrate. In 1994 they released their first DJ worhty CDJ player on the market, the CDJ-500. This was the first step to succes in this business for Pioneer. Soon after this, they kept making big steps in the scene with the releases of the DJM-500 and the DJM-600, manly because of the build-in effect on the 600. A couple of years later the CDJ-1000 got released and the legend was born. This is a legend still going because the CDj-2000Nexus and CDJ-900Nexus are based on this model.
