I bought it, I gigged with it last night for the first time. It is AMAZING!!!!!!! Bye bye Pioneer. It's been real. Denon is taking over the game!
Glad to hear! I bought it during the quarantine, and my first week was so scared thinking about taking it out once the parties start, but not after a couple weeks in, the workflow on it is amazing and I can’t wait to get it out there! Best of luck!
What are your thoughts a year later??
@@ComingUpNextTime Been using it for almost a year and it’s still the best🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for the opportunity to release with your label Luke, I have been following the music & vlogs for a long time and they always have been very instructive! 🔥
I've never clicked on a video so fast. So much respect for you as a DJ and as a dedicated (dad) content creator! Still can't believe you're putting out these videos for free consumption. You're doing a lot of good, man. Much love from Manila. L's up!
What track is at the begin of the video?
Quick tip for analyzing on Denon Prime 4.
Most of us only use decks 1 and 2 for mixing, leaving decks 3 and 4 for other purposes and housekeeping (Analyzing)
Use decks 3 and 4 to pre-load songs that haven't been analyzed.
It seems because of the powerful CPU in the Prime 4, it can analyze songs simultaneously.
This lets you analyze a crate full of songs by pre-loading them while your main songs are playing, edit beat grids, and other chores.
Now they just need a BPM tap to correct songs that have been analyzed by Denon Engine prime incorrectly.
Loving these In My Mind Videos gives everyone a real look in your style of DJing and how it's done. keep them coming :)
Laidback Luck, thank you so much for these videos. I've only recently started mixing, not only do I love your mixing, but these videos have helped me grow faster than I thought possible. My skills are growing faster than I can learn the music inside and out. All thanks to these In My Mind videos.
Talented on the mix, and I appreciate you for not being arrogant and sharing your creativity with the world.
Love the In My Mind videos Luke! always teaches me something new ! Thanks for all the inspiration.
Hey it was great to see you work, thank you so much for writing down everything u did, it was so good to see your process. You're very humble and that makes u a great teacher!!!
In my mind is *soooo* helpful!
Thank You Luke for Your great work!
Not into Dance music very much, but you Luke are changing my mind, your mixing, your song selection and your persona are infections.....
I've been a hip hop and Rnb man since I was 5, but you are awesome.
Thank you. 🤙
Oh yes i‘ve been waiting for this controller at your Channel for so long 😍🙏🏼
Love the positive energy. This has to be the most helpful thing I've found so far. Just getting into your channel now, it's 2am though, Gota head to bed. Shoutouts from Toronto ^_^
You are so humble and spot on, I love your VLOGS! One of the things I'd been doing when I was new to DJing was to purposefully go to a music store and spin on as many different controllers / software possible, because the unfamiliarity forced me to strengthen those true core musical skills. Thanks again LL, rocking your Mixmash playlist on spofity as always!
I can honestly say these in my mind videos have definitely helped me become a great dj! Keep the great videos and tips coming I appreciate the wisdom!👍
Luke, thanks for all the Vlogs! Love them! I loved the mix on the Prime 4! I'm a working DJ from Las Vegas, Nevada and I pre-ordered my Prime 4 in January. I can't wait to get my hands on it and even more stoked to see what it can do! Thanks for taking the time to give us a little taste here in your latest Vlog! Hope to see you here in Vegas the next time you're in town! L's up!
Your videos are great. I can tell you have strong foundation of DJ skills which comes from growing up in this art and allows you to fully appreciate what the new DJ technology offers. Keep it up.
Finally a real DJ pro trying this mixer. I feel much better about it now.
Wow, your dj’ing is so pure. Always love the good old fashioned scratching. To bad so few dj’s still do this. 👏🏻👏🏻🔥👆🏻
I don't like watching other peoples vlogs, but damn I f****ng love watching Laidback Luke vlogs!!!
Thanks Luke for making these in my mind sets, this is the best one by far!
So refreshing how creative you can be on the Denon setups, this looks so fun :)
Thanks for another "In my Mind" video! Really like these videos :)
Glad Denon have released this controller. I have pre-ordered one for my bar and one for home. Really annoying thing is most DJs put Pioneers on their rider. It would be good if Denon linked up with a DJ agency to encourage more DJs to use Denon gear. This would help bars and clubs book Denon DJs.
Good stuff Luke! Love it how you explain your mixing in detail and don't cover anything :) Loving it!
Great Job at start up! I was a little confused at start but this is really a great unit and you did it justice!! Thank You Sir Luke.
I love these In My Mind videos Luke; they are super insightful and helpful and really help me understand how great DJs like you mix! Keep them up! What would you say your favourite festival to play at is? Love you Luke ❤️
Laidback Luke you have the most inspirational videos for us the new DJ aspirants. Moreover you teach a lot with these videos, and would be my dream to produce a track with you.
Love all of your videos! Thanks so much!!
Love your in my mind videos keep em coming!
This DJ console is state of the art and with all the functions and also with this ace demo of Luke's mixing on it, we can really see the potential for Prime 4.
Real deejaying and feature packed DJ gear means awesome sets from those who put the love into their craft. Salute to you Luke!
Thanks for the shoutout Luke and for always listening to what your fans are suggesting
Nothing but love and respect for you
I love your turntable mixing style integrated with the new age cue drops!
Just when I was having doubts along comes Laidback Luke with this video. Possibly the best review I've seen 👌🏾🔥
What I like about you luke, is that you go with the flow it's edgy and you take risks in your mixing which is what it is all about! And your down to earth top man ❤️ prime 4 ♥️ my upgrade from the mcx8000 definitely 👍
I upgraded from the 8000 and I love this thing! Totally worth it!
Couldn’t stop shaking my ass the whole mix. Keep it up Luke hope to see you at a show very soon!!!
Happy New Year, Luke! Just wanted to tell you that I LOVE your style, brother! I'm an old school DJ from back in the day (80s, 90s, and 00s) who hung up his headphones about 15 years ago. I played most of the marquis clubs in the Buffalo / Niagara Falls NY area, and covered pretty much every format imaginable, from 80s pop and dance (Prince, Rick James, Debbie deb, Trinere, Afrikka Bambaataa, etc.), 80s and 90s new wave and alternative stuff, party music, and early house and techno (which owns a special place in my musical heart, and I think you're one of the best in the modern EDM format). My favorite club gig ever was my residency at a huge mega club in Niagara Falls called Pleasuredome, which catered to the cool club clientele from Buffalo and Toronto, and we pioneered the house and techno sound in the region (James Brown was dead after all), and I STILL love EDM to this day (and again, your musical taste is right up my alley). Long story short, I had a Michael Corleone moment in September (Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in!) when I was asked to DJ at a huge charity music festival called Music is Art (or MiA, thrown by the guys from the Goo Goo Dolls) and I caught the bug again. I just purchased a Prime 4 and am currently busy converting my music library in Engine Prime. I DEFINITELY hope to catch your act some time in the new year, brother!!! ...and I'll keep you posted on my progress with the Prime 4. Cheers!!! ヅ
Can't wait for some New Laidback Luke & Chocolate Puma Action 🔥👀
Been a DJ for almost 30 years. First time I really checked any CZcams out. Was just looking at the Denon prime for my underground room and mr laidback poped up so I watched your video. Very cool to see inside your mind whilst mixing and dropping beats. 👍🏼👍🏼

@@ducakatinyakascopioakadnll3967 I've just found out, that it's actually on spotify. Under the name of "ID - ID (Mix Cut) ?????????
There's no information given on artists or track-name and the "ID" account seems to be there for unreleased stuff on spotify? I'm really confused but i'm glad it's there.

I decided to pull the trigger on a Denon DJ Prime 4 based on watching your review Luke and how smooth you were mixing. I am not a producer/artist but a true open format DJ who does nightclubs/weddings and corporate events and found this to be the best controller I have played, mixed and utilized and I have tried many. I did add a 1TB SSD Hard Drive and it holds my library and although it does standalone I am still using Serato DJ Pro because I am able to layer multi-effects I.E. flanger with echo out etc. I did like playing in standalone mode it was just as intuitive as well. When you add the Odyssey Case for it it is a solid, heavy deck but the trade off is a controller/decks that fully allow creativity and mixing! Great Job and thank you for promoting all DJ's Luke!
Loved da mix. not my go to genre of music but you always make it enjoyable. blessings. watching and learning
Top notch sir. After years of using technics I decided to try my hand at digital DJing, nearly bought pioneer then stumbled across your video, checked out the Prime 4 and was blown away by it. Ordered one of these bad boys and painful waiting for it to arrive!!
Nice trick with the crossfader. I always learn something new with you Laidback. Keep rocking the dancefloors brother!
This is so beastly, good work Luke & Denon DJ
Audio of that mix sounds really clear and HQ on my Headphones. Love the Prime4!
Yes. I think he's reading his music off of 1 USB stick, and recording the live mix as output onto a second USB stick; So the HD quality is preserved.
The live mashups came out really good. Bangers for the 2019 party season.
I love how u just have fun and not worry about slight 'mess ups'. I need to keep this in my head when playing out. Ugh. Get. So. Anxious.=]
I like how you bounce through different cue points on a track and using the build up for your intro or outro breaks.
That was great. I like that you surf the pitch slider, that's how I learnt to mix using really basic old CDJs without instant start. In a world of beat grids and sync it gives what you're doing a bit more live.
It was fun watching how you work. It gave me a real sense of an adventure with a mix of planning and spontaneity.
Luke is an absolute beast! He kills it on every platform. Love these sets!
I AM LOOKING AROUND TO GET ONE OF THE DENOM DJ PRIME 4 , YOU REALLY CONVINCED ME THAT IS A GREAT UNIT . THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL VIDEO !
Stoked for the new tracks!! As for the " In My Mind" since you only had it for a few hrs not bad. I really do like this set up and look fwd to seing dennon does for updates. Might have to up grade my very out dated set up.
What??? Laidback Luke puts the Prime 4 through it's paces. Nice mix as always. Thanks!!!!
Laidback Luke you’ve still got it👌🏻 amazing mix and tutorial thank you.
I’ve also been struggling with an earlier denon controller switching between channels 1-3 2-4 it’s not very intuitive and can easily lead to getting confused to which deck you are working, that said I still use it and they are good controllers. Really good to see your workflow and the nuts and bolts of how you mix, it really helps. Interesting your comment at the end about how many times it took to have a mix you thought was worth saving minus errors, this is how I mix and save and did wonder who else does it this way I believe this is one way to improve you live dj’ing. Thanks for the vlogs
One of the realest DJS in the game. Much Respect to you my brother for putting out these videos. And yes I am #TeamDenon got the MXC8000 .
I really love your in my mind vlogs thank you laidbackluke 😍
I came for a review but now I'm looking for a Tracklist!
This is awesome!
With every new video about Prime 4 I love it more and more. Been using Denon for 10y now :)
always got to see you live mixing!
Love this kind of vlogs!!
Love the honesty on having to do the mix more than once.
recently came across A-Trak - DJs Gotta Dance More 👌....slip that one in...different energy levels but get creative ..open with it then build the energy....that's one smooth track😎👍
Thank you for this Luke. Just want to let you know that you are an inspiration and I hope to be as good as you one day!
Starting out on Numark DJ party mix!
This video was awesome, this was a better in my mind because you could see the wav forms and see what you’re actually doing. Makes it easier being able to see that, hear what your doing, and reading what what you wrote. Pretty nice little controller, if I’m ever in the market for a controller, this will be it. Only because I use the prime setup already.
Great Job from DenonDJ this seems ready for festivals. Making what everyone asking in 2 years incredible. Imagine Traktor team could have done this years before if they have focused on the S4 to come up in the end with an upgraded gear like this...
Man these videos are great your amazing man helping me out alot
Good stuff just ordered one yesterday have been doing music for 30 years from dancing on MTV in the late 80’s early 90’s on a show called the grind and being in all types of music videos to spinning at some of the craziest clubs in Manhattan but with this stand alone the sky’s the limit awesome set for only having it a few hours you tore it up man would love to send you a mix when I get mine can’t wait for festival season spun at DREAMSCAPE a few years back it was awesome anyway love your stuff brother keep doing whatcha doing my man and stay healthy one love!!
Still love watching this set. So many great techniques easy to master for beginners!
Great to see you mixing with that beast. Absolutelly the best standalone dj workstation in the world! Handling that layering is pretty hard, but maybe Denon could show those active layers on the screen some better way? E.g. put "grey" overlay to non-active layers or make glowing borders around of active layers. Most of time you are watching that screen.. not that platter color or layer buttons.
Thank's Luke, hope next you can post more detail review and demo for this Prime 4, I'm interest and on progress to replace my mcx8000 to prime 4.
Wow looking at this for purchase, looks like dream to mix on, thank you for the video Luke! ✌
You were mixing on consumer speakers? Damn! That’s impressive, because this was the best mix I’ve heard from you in a while.
I like that equipment, Denon overcame and overcome another brands! and you are a Master! 👊🏻👊🏻👽
D'ah!, I need to get into the habit of resetting EQs. Great vid, Luke. I need to get my paws on this console.
I loved this vlog....looks like I'll be making the switch once in for all
Thanks for making this video, it was nice getting some pro feedback on this controller, before I decide if I should get it or not.
Let's hope it's good as always!
Got my Prime 4 before Christmas 2020,not looking back,playing with 2 usb sticks,2tb external hd,one ssd hardrive and all work perfect!!!I take my time ejecting all harddrives one by one after a gig and so my music keeps saved.love this beast!!!
Good stuff! I think that if I had known that Denon would come up with this set, I would not bought my Pioneer XDJ-RX2 4 months ago. And dude, that “Step Back” remix/bootleg/whatever is FIRE! ✌🏾
Absolutely dope, great performance Denon ❤
Hi Luke :) thanks for all the tutorials and inspiration.
Yo Luke, you're good brother. Thanks for sharing. Watching this makes me want to practice more.
love that u played Get Dumb! this is wen i got hooked on laidback and angello stuff! great collab
Sounds like a remix
Can't wait for that new track to come out. Sounds like you and Don diablos styles combined for the drop. Oh yes is gonna be a good song
I respect that you're also a "real" producer. Music production is very deep. I am just now drifting into a similar realm, so doing my due diligence and research. Subscribed.
I love this... such an honest way to test out a product... i really like that you appear to do it in one take and leave in your mistakes and share some secrets. I’m going to have to upgrade my CDJ 800’s and xone 32 sooner than later... but I recently had a little boy so pioneer nxs just seem like an irresponsible purchase. If this thing is all it’s cracked up to be it very well might be in the cards, even though my last experience with Denon resulted in a boots in the dryer mix (sc3500 with a sketchy pitch fader) I think enough time has passed to give them another chance.
I love that the volume fades line up with the wavs on the screen.
So badass!
Respect Luke!
... and there are people trying to give him crap over sketching out that mix. in this thread.... oh to be young and a lill bitch
Imagine the music we’d have if everyone who talked the talk could walk the walk. Hehe!
i learned a lot from watching this. Thanks for sharing! I'm really interested in the prime 4. I'm currently mixing on a Pioneer RX2. Do you notice any weird quirks with the Prime 4? I know it's software is very new.
I love your "Inside the mind" videos. They are so helpful as a young DJ! I am studying your outlook on DJing extensively, and I must ask. How do you feel this compares to your usual 4 SC5000's and x1800 set up?
This seems amazing for the value, but the 2 wheels and 4 tracks thing seems so hard to not mix up in the moment like you mentioned. Curious if anyone has mastered this art? Thanks so much.
The best controller on the market! Will be picking up one. Bought the ddj-1000 last year, wish I would have waited for this. Nice
Adam Wright same here!
Man so did I... no need for 5 grand set up at the penthouse and I'm feeling just like you right now. The one gripe, if I could call it that is I'd prefer larger jogs but understand why they included smaller ones. It's still huge. But yea I'm eyeballing this thing hard.
Jim Mcclaccen The big jogs on the ddj1000 are awesome. I think it’s 8” jogs on the ddj1000 and 6” on the Prime4. You are right, the one gripe is the jogs. The Prime4 is so much more versatile, though. The standalone 4 channel with usb and a hard drive inputs is why I’ll grab one. I’ll keep the ddj1000 for a backup and also let my son learn on it.
Thanx bro lve been juggling which one to get....but a lot easier now
can l ask wat the ddj is lacking from ur point?
KRÈ87iVĘ iNDUS7RiĘS DiCKÈYZ Don’t get me wrong, the ddj1000 is great tech. It does everything I need. I want the Prime4 because it is standalone. You don’t have to use a laptop.
Love this video. THX Luke!!
You help me so much to improve my dj skills! now i am more comfortable to play in videos or in front of a crowd!
Not my music, but so much respect for the artist, his thouhts and improvisation. Thats what its all about. Keep going Luke!
Hey Luke. Great video. Could you do another video on this unit if you get it again! Is it as responsive as the SC5000s?
Hi Luke - what would be the key differences between this unit Prime 4 and the SC 5000’s which is what you normally use, apart from the jog wheels and platter size and obviously price? Thanks
That Step back remix is pure firee!! OMG!
What would your mix be if you had two extra hands, amazing mixing and obviously you know where to fade in and out with whichever FXs you can use. Loved many of your videos cause of you tell us how you do it and sometimes even make examples of those techniques :) Way to go Luke once again :)
Denon Dj has always have been ahead 3 to 5 years in way advance dj technology standalone controller passed Pioneer Dj in a long slide. You have way more affects & mechanism buttons way more than the pioneer & plus the sound card high definition sound quality while mixing your music 🎶 tunes. So much memory inputs & sound output is truly unbelievable outstanding. I truly applaud the sound & electronics engineers that designing this beautiful magnificence dj standalone controller that is a dj dream controller come true. Thank you sooo Denon Dj & thank you the great dj mixing live video of the most excellent Denon Dj Prime 4 standalone controller... 🥰🥰🥰🥰😁😁😁🥂
I love your sound. i am a little party dj from germany but i play your songs on every gig.
