What’s your greatest DJ gear “barn find”?

Dad’s dusty boxes in the attic turned out to be a pair of turntables and crates of vinyl? A synth inherited from an uncle turned out to be something special? An overlooked mixer at a pawn shop became your favourite piece of kit?

Some of the best gear stories start in the strangest places.

What did you find, where did you find it, and did you know what you’d stumbled across?

If you’ve still got it, let’s see a photo

From buying your first setup to tracking down that special record—or simply appreciating a beautiful pair of Technics—thank you for being part of Dj Swop Shop and Back 2 Wax.

Every purchase, trade-in, share, recommendation and chat about gear has helped us get here. I am grateful to have so many good people around.

I'd let you all play a thank-you set, but at 10,000 of you, we’d never get any sleep 😂🎧

🇿🇩 Our heritage lives in the music, and every DJ helps to keep it playing

As DJs, we do more than play the next track. We bring memories back, introduce old favourites to new ears, and make space for the sounds of tomorrow

This Heritage Day, let’s celebrate where our music comes from—and the people who keep it moving

Happy Heritage Day from DJ Swop Shop!

BUYING USED CDJs, CONTROLLERS OR MIXERS?
Check these BEFORE you hand over your money 👇

✅ 1. Test EVERY button
Play, cue, pads, loops, navigation—check that each responds consistently without needing extra pressure.

✅ 2. Test the CD drive, if fitted
Take a CD along. Check loading, reading, playback, track skipping and ejecting.

✅ 3. Check the USB port
Bring a compatible USB stick with music. It should fit securely and read reliably. A loose connection that drops out is a red flag.

✅ 4. Check the jog wheels
Feel for sticking, scraping or uneven movement, and listen for unusual noises. Test how they respond during playback too.

✅ 5. Inspect the display
Check for dead pixels, dim areas and flickering. If it’s a touchscreen, test across the whole screen.

✅ 6. Test every k**b and fader
Check for excessive looseness, jumping values, crackling or controls that stop responding. Don’t forget the crossfader!

✅ 7. Check all lights
Look for buttons and indicators that don’t light up when they should. Ask about any failures—and whether the unit has ever had a liquid spill.

✅ 8. Listen to the audio outputs
Test both left and right channels, plus headphones. Listen for distortion, crackling, dropouts or one side sounding quieter. On mixers, check each input channel too.

✅ 9. Test the link function
If the CDJs support linking, connect them with compatible equipment and confirm they communicate and share music properly.

✅ 10. Ask about service history
“Never been opened or repaired” isn’t the whole story. Ask how it was used, stored, cleaned and maintained—and request service records if available.

💡 A unit powering on is only the START of a proper test. Take your time.

What’s the one fault you ALWAYS check for when buying used DJ gear? Drop it in the comments—you could save another DJ an expensive mistake.

đŸșUNBOXED. TESTED. SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED.

This weekend I cracked open a brand-new Wolfmix W1 to see what it could do
 and this little beast delivered!

What stood out most? The hands-on control. There’s something seriously satisfying about shaping your lighting as the music builds, then hitting the dancefloor with the right look at the right moment.

From grouping fixtures and dialling in custom colours to building scenes, the W1 gives you plenty of room to get creative. It feels tactile, responsive and packed with possibilities.

Let’s be honest: getting a lighting rig to do what you actually want can be a mission. The Wolfmix made that process feel much more approachable, from setting up fixtures to putting together a show that feels intentional.

For DJs wanting to give their lighting as much attention as their sound, this is definitely a unit worth checking out. After a weekend behind the controls, I can see the appeal!

👇 What’s controlling your lights at the moment—and would you give the Wolfmix a go?
