Prep like a pro. Stream like a boss. Spin like a legend.

Every great DJ set starts long before you hit play. It starts in the prep—digging for the right tracks, setting your cues, looping those juicy intros, and building playlists that tell a story.

At The Galaxy, we believe preparation is part of the art. And if you’re ready to level up your DJ game, Rekordbox + Beatport + Beatsource is the ultimate toolkit.

🎶 What Is Rekordbox (And Why DJs Love It)

Rekordbox is Pioneer DJ’s official software that lets you:

Organise your music library
Set cue points, loops, beat grids, and tags
Build playlists for different moods, genres, or gigs
Export to USB drives for use with CDJs
Or, better yet—stream your playlists directly to CDJ-3000s using CloudDirectPlay

Why it's magic:You get to walk into a club fully ready. No messy folders. No dodgy transitions. Everything is locked in, polished, and pro.
