Portable vinyl performance, perfected.
The Handy Trax, originally created by Vestax, redefined portable turntables by giving users the freedom to play and scratch records anywhere. Beloved by DJs and vinyl enthusiasts alike, it helped spark the rise of "portablism".
Now, Korg proudly reinvents this iconic turntable with the handytraxx play. Developed in collaboration with Toshihide Nakama, former President of Vestax and co-creator of the Handy Trax, the handytraxx play retains the essence of the original while introducing exciting new features. These include cutting-edge digital effects, a built-in looper, and high-quality controls that make it possible to physically “play” with records on the go.
Combined with unique customisation options, the handytraxx play delivers an unparalleled portable turntable experience. Perfect for casual vinyl lovers and hardcore portablists alike.
Optimized for scratching
The handytraxx play has been meticulously designed to provide an exceptional scratching experience. The high-quality fader, developed under Nakama’s guidance, offers super smooth, precise motion and minimised silent zones for effortless cuts and transitions. Beginners and seasoned portablists alike will appreciate the responsive feel and the ability to reverse scratch by swapping crossfader channels. Every detail of the fader has been optimised to enhance performance while maintaining the portability that defines the handytraxx play.
Unique digital effects
Korg’s expertise in digital audio processing brings powerful effects to the handytraxx play, elevating its creative potential.
Three types of filters
The handytraxx play offers three versatile filter types, each designed to provide dynamic control over your sound. The DJ filter seamlessly blends low-pass and high-pass filters, allowing smooth transitions. The EQ filter with a low isolator enhances bass frequencies for deep, impactful tones. Lastly, the peaking wah filter with modulation adds a unique, expressive touch, letting you shape bold experimental sounds or subtle nuanced effects in real time.
Delay
In addition to filters, the handytraxx play features a built-in delay effect that expands your creative possibilities. From creating spacious, ambient soundscapes to bold, metallic echoes, the delay effect can be controlled intuitively using the vertical fader for precise level adjustments. This seamless integration of effects makes the handytraxx play an essential tool to enhance any DJ performance.
Built-in audio looper and versatile playback control
The handytraxx play includes a built-in looper that redefines creativity for DJs and vinyl enthusiasts. With its variable speed control switch, the looper lets you capture and replay live playback of a record’s sound—a feature known as live looping. This capability allows you to craft unique DJ mixes by adding scratches to a looped beat, recording your favourite sounds to use as a sampler, or even swapping records while the loop continues to play seamlessly. The looper’s versatility makes it an essential tool for both experimentation and live performance.
The variable speed control switch provides intuitive options for adjusting playback speed, a fundamental requirement for DJs. You can effortlessly switch between 33 and 45 RPM or fine-tune the variable speed ratio to match your creative needs. This adaptability extends to layering recordings over existing loops—for instance, playing back a beat loop at your chosen speed and overlaying scratching sounds on top. The handytraxx play’s looper opens new possibilities for musical expression, offering endless opportunities to innovate and perform.
Precision craftsmanship
Every component of the handytraxx play has been crafted for superior performance. The custom-designed tonearm offers high-level tracing performance, minimising needle skipping during playback and scratching. A belt-driven motor with digital rotation correction ensures stable platter rotation and quick recovery for incidental effects that sound natural. Refinements to the turntable mechanism further reduce skipping, allowing for consistent, reliable performance during even the most demanding scratch play.
Groove on the go
Designed for ultimate portability, the handytraxx play can be powered by the included AC adapter or six AA batteries, giving you the flexibility to take your music anywhere. The built-in 2.5W speaker delivers impressive sound with rich bass and clear playback, whether you’re connected to external speakers or not.
Flexible customization
A redesigned headshell supports both ceramic and MM cartridges*, offering flexibility for various playback styles. Users can replace the scratch fader or reorient the control panel for right- or left-handed use, ensuring comfort and adaptability for every DJ. These thoughtful customisation options make the handytraxx play a truly personal and versatile tool, perfect for creating and performing.
*Basic soldering skills are required for replacing ceramic and MM cartridges.

Just picked up the HDJ-F10 wireless headphones and I’m seriously impressed. Sound is crisp with deep bass, and the ultra-low latency wireless is perfect for DJing. Build quality feels solid and they’re super comfortable for long sessions. Totally worth it!

Great advise.
Talked to the staff via phone who advised me on a cheaper and a better suited cover to the SL1200. Really happy with choice of product and (for my needs) a better alternative cover than what I originally was going to order. Great service! However the 2 covers were stacked when packaged and took 20 minutes of separating and stress of breaking. Just a thought for packers when sending. However 5 star product and phone service!

Absolutely Loving My Denon DJ Prime 4+
The team at Mix Foundation were awesome to deal with. From the moment I walked in, they were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about helping me find the right gear.
The Prime 4+ is a fully standalone 4-deck DJ controller powered by Engine DJ, it gives you complete creative freedom without needing a laptop. Just fit a SATA drive and have all your music available directly on the device.
The vibrant 10.1-inch multi-touch screen is incredibly responsive, making track browsing, waveform editing, and FX control feel intuitive and fluid. One of its standout features is Wi-Fi streaming support, giving you instant access to services like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Beatport, TIDAL, and SoundCloud Go+ right from the controller.
Another feature I love is the onboard FX, which are high quality and versatile, with sweeping filters, echo, delay, and reverb, all easily customisable. The stem separation is simply mind-blowing, letting you isolate vocals, drums, or instruments with a tap. The Prime 4+ a powerhouse for DJs of all levels! I had my partner rocking on the device within 15 minutes and she pulled off a stunning mix using just stems.
Overall I am very happy with the decision to purchase the Denon product. It just made more sense, from a price vs features point of view and I'm having lots of fun...reliving my youth and getting back into mixing...love it!

Crisp and Clean
Definitely the most expensive unit in my set-up. But it has elevated everything running through it. I do not DJ, and the only reason I went for DJ mixers in the first place was 1: I needed a phono preamp and 2: I needed an equaliser. High-end audio gear do not have good equalisers. You are lucky to get treble and bass control. I NEED MID. This beast has a 4 band equaliser! More control over my mids then I ever had. But the sound quality? Crisp and clean. Listening to my records in a new light. These phono pre amps do not disappoint. I get 4 separate inputs for my two turn tables, one for my digital, and even one just for my cassette. But the Sound card. Wow. Running digital straight to the mixer sounds amazing. And I can even record off it. And I have been able to rig up to a new MilkDrop 3, so now all my analog music gets this amazing backdrop of colours to go with it. Brings me back to the good old days with Winamp. Messing around with the crunch setting has also been a lot of fun, feels like a guitar amp with the overdrive, and you can even run an effects pedal loop! Also, having a separate EQ for the booth out makes getting that sound perfect, even easier. Three thumbs up!

No compromise detail
Early days but it's living up to expectation of extracting all the information out of the grove with its line contact Shibata stylus. It's the modern equivalent of the Shure V15 III with the MicroRidge stylus.
Wide soundstage, detailed delivery, strong bass, amazing mid range.
Certainly, unforgiving and won't take prisoners of lesser vinyl records.
Good modern premium Moving Magnet cartridge.

This is my second pair of HDJ headphones, I was running worh Technics headphones for years then got my 1st HDJ pair 7 years ago.
Superb sound from these. sennheiser are way to flimsy for me, the Pioneers have held up really good. So much so Im on my second pair. I take my hat off to Pioneer for thos series of headphone.
