Since 1994, pro DJs have trusted Pioneer DJ—recently rebranded as AlphaTheta—CDJ media players to power performances from packed clubs to massive festival stages.
With the new AlphaTheta CDJ-3000X, those familiar foundations expand with savvy upgrades: a bigger 10.1" touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi and enhanced workflow shortcuts—all designed for speed and creative improvisation.
In this exclusive performance, Canadian DJ, producer and remix artist A-Trak puts the CDJ-3000X through its paces. Known for his inventive approach to cues, loops and scratching on the fly, A-Trak shows how the larger display and updated controls unlock new possibilities for improvisation.
“Most of my tricks start as something I improvised at a show that I decide to keep,” says A-Trak. “The new screen gives me so much visual information that I can react faster and push further in the moment.”

Beyond the technical details, A-Trak discusses why the CDJ has become a central part of his creative approach. He recalls the “lightbulb moment” of realizing that a CDJ could take him beyond what was possible on traditional turntables.
For DJs already familiar with the Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000, the 3000X feels instantly approachable, and even those new to CDJ media players shouldn’t have to do deep dives into the manual or undertake significant prep sessions.
