Spin up Pioneer’s Flagship CDJ Turntables and Learn to DJ in Tribe XR

Tribe XR has been at the forefront of virtual reality (VR) and music, enabling both beginners and experts to DJ in VR and stream it to the world. Today, the app is taking a step further thanks to a new partnership with AlphaTheta Corporation, bringing the world-renown Pioneer DJ brand into Tribe XR.

For the first time, Tribe XR users will be able to practice and create sets on the flagship Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 professional multi-player and DJM-900NXS2 professional mixer, both accurately recreated to the finest detail. All adding to that extra flair of professionalism when streaming sets live to platforms including Facebook Live, Twitch and YouTube.

While the core Tribe XR software for Oculus Quest and PC VR headsets has all the features you need to get started, as seems to becoming the norm in VR, Tribe XR also offers a subscription service. For an additional monthly charge of $4.99 USD / £3.99 GBP / €4.99 EUR, you’ll gain access to additional content. This includes 4 CDJ-3000 decks instead of the standard 2 (for those Techno pros out there), equipment skins with funky designs, live video workshops with resident DJ mentors, and 3D on-demand lessons. These courses are great for aspiring DJs, with pre-recorded classes covering the basics of mixing as well as live group lessons to learn more in depth skills.

“Tribe XR is the leading VR DJ school and performance platform globally. Our goal is to turn aspiring DJs into performing DJs,” said Tribe XR CEO and co-founder, Tom Impallomeni in a statement. “We are delighted that our community can now learn and perform with the CDJ-3000 and DJM-900NXS2, in virtual reality, no matter where they are. We hope this will inspire home DJs around the world to become professionals and global stars.”

“Pioneer DJ has long been the market-leading hardware and software brand in the DJ industry. Today, we’re delighted to announce our first step into virtual reality via this partnership with Tribe XR,” Mark Grotefeld, AlphaTheta Corporation adds. “We’re thrilled to be working with Tribe XR to harness VR technology to enable the next generation of DJs to take their first steps in learning the art of mixing, as well as enabling home DJs and professionals to practice, play, and perform on authentic versions of Pioneer DJ products in a virtual environment.”

Tribe XR is available over on Steam and Oculus Stores. For further updates on the app, keep reading VRFocus.

Quest Gets A Comprehensive DJ Simulator With Private Tuition In TribeXR

I wouldn’t even know where to start as a DJ.

Press the buttons and scratch the disc thingy back and forth? Not sure that’d go down too well at parties. Fortunately for my future career prospects, Quest just got a comprehensive DJ training simulator in TribeXR.

Whereas something like Eletronauts comes up with new interfaces to interact with music, TribeXR wants to teach you real-world skills. The app adds a crucial element to the growing VR simulation scene. Yes it includes all the tech you’ll need, authentically recreated in VR, but the app also includes one-on-one DJ mentoring sessions.

Via the app’s Discord or otherwise, you can arrange to meet up with a DJ expert and get a private DJing session, taking you through the basics step-by-step. There are also video tutorials already stored and live classes to attend, too.

I’ve played around with the app a bit, and it impresses in its comprehension. It doesn’t waste any time getting you used to the kit. A simplistic interface lets you know what each and every button does and it’s easy to call up friends should you want to. It made the idea of learning to become a DJ much less daunting than, say, if I instead had to buy thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

Elsewhere, TribeXR includes pretty much all the bells and whistles you’d expect. You can import your own music and bring in friends to listen to it. The game also supports full cross-play with Quest and the Oculus Rift version.

In the coming weeks, TribeXR will be adding new features like integrated videos, live-streaming tools and recording tools. If you’re looking for a Quest app that will teach you a genuine new skill, this is a great place to start.
