In addition to making djay 2 for iPhone (reg. $2.99) and iPad (reg. $9.99) free for one week, Algoriddim is ready to reveal djay for Apple Watch, which it dubs “the world’s first wearable DJ controller”, and two big announcements for djay Pro for Mac including a new partnership with Pioneer DJ and a brand new video mode for mixing.
The latest version of djay for iPhone released earlier this week already packs in the feature-filled djay for Apple Watch app. Pair djay for iPhone with a solid set of speakers and you can remotely control your mixes from your wrist with the Apple Watch. And it’s way more than just play and pause…

As for the recently launched djay Pro for Mac, Algoriddim has partnered with Pioneer DJ to add “seamless plug-and-play integration of djay Pro with the CDJ-2000nexus, CDJ-900nexus, and XDJ-1000, the worldwide club standard for professional DJs.”
As a free update to djay Pro for Mac, users gain a ton of new video features for the first time to add “visualizers to their music and mix videos in real-time, all with stunning transitions, visual FX, title and image overlays, live A/V recording, and comes with extensive pre-bundled video content so users can get creative right away.”
You can pick up djay for iPhone and Apple Watch plus iPad for free for one week only. The latest version of djay Pro for Mac is a free update to existing customers, and new users can pick up the pro software on sale for $49.99 (reg. $79.99) from the Mac App Store.

Ok, this is getting silly. A DJ controller from your watch? I love the djay apps for Mac and iPad, but even the iPhone version is too small for me to work with. It’s very hard to imagine anyone using the Apple Watch version.
Not totally useless, you could leave your post to pee and still switch the fader when the song ends? It would save me from having to play an 11 minute song when I need to hit the bathroom.. I back it..
Extremely impressive. What an incredible time we live in !
DJ on a watch is joke but I would love a watch app working with beat matching and haptic feedback!
I think the key feature is to be able to control Dj on iPhone – if you step away from the decks as you mixing you can continue having a control. But it would be more impressive if it would connect to iPad. Most mobil Djs clearly not using iPhone to mix tracks
It’s nice to see the Mac version is now plug-n-play with CDJ’s, but for me personally the support of these devices doesn’t actually help me. Whenever possible I like to just use the CDJ’s with my ‘rekordboxed’ tracks on a USB flash drive. I only use them with my laptop and Traktor on models like the CDJ-400 which don’t support Rekordbox.
I’ve never really explored djay for Mac though, so maybe I just don’t know what I’m missing out on.
According to Algoriddim this statement of your article isn’t true… at least not for customers who purchased from them directly and not the Mac App Store.
