The Stylo aims to provide an accessible way for users to enjoy their vinyl collection with the flexibility of wireless audio streaming.
“Majority Audio aims to create products that enhance the listening experience,” says Eddie Latham, Co-Founder & Director at Majority Audio. “With the Stylo turntable, we’re providing a balance of classic audio and modern technology, making it easier for people to enjoy vinyl in a way that suits their needs.”
The Majority Stylo allows users to enjoy their vinyl collections with both traditional and modern audio setups. It features Bluetooth output for wireless streaming to compatible speakers or headphones, providing freedom from cable clutter. For those who prefer a classic wired connection, the turntable is also equipped with RCA output.
A key element of the Stylo’s design is its focus on sound quality and accuracy. The turntable incorporates an Audio Technica AT3600L moving magnet cartridge, known for its clear and detailed audio reproduction. This is complemented by a lightweight aluminium platter, which provides stable rotation, and a carbon fibre tonearm, engineered for rigidity and precise tracking of the record groove. The inclusion of an adjustable counterweight allows users to fine-tune the tonearm balance for optimal stylus pressure.
For further control over the listening experience, the Majority Stylo features a pitch control function. This allows users to make subtle adjustments to the record’s playback speed, accommodating variations in recordings or personal preferences. The turntable supports both 33 and 45 RPM playback speeds.

Pioneer DJ, a world-class manufacturer of DJ equipment, announces the release of the DDJ-FLX4 – a 2-channel DJ controller packed with brand-new features allowing for easy track mixing and applying pro-sounding effects. This easy-to-use DJ controller features a simple, user-friendly design whilst offering a professional feel, which can be used with multiple DJ applications. It’s the perfect piece of kit for beginners wanting to learn how to DJ.
The DDJ-FLX4 is an affordable unit that inherits key traits from the professional layout of the DDJ-400 – a standard for entry-level controllers – but its user-friendly design makes learning to DJ easier. There’s a choice of DJ software to mix music with, including free use of Performance mode in rekordbox for Mac/Windows. And when the major update to rekordbox for iOS/Android comes out in early 2023, you’ll be able to use the DDJ-FLX4 with your iPhone, Android smartphone, iPad, or Android tablet. Serato DJ Lite is also free to use with the controller, and you can upgrade to Serato DJ Pro if you buy a license or take out a subscription. All these software options enable you to play music files stored on your device, as well as tracks from TIDAL, Beatport Streaming, Beatsource Streaming, and SoundCloud Go+ (paid subscriptions may be required).
You’ll find it easy to start DJing when you get your hands on the DDJ-FLX4, even if you’re a complete beginner. The design is clean and user-friendly so you can find your way around the controls easily, and you’ll find plenty of tutorials in rekordbox to guide you through the basics. This controller will have any hobbyist or music lover feeling like a superstar DJ in no time and is the perfect way to kickstart a journey into DJing.
The controller also includes 2 brand-new Smart Mixing features to help you get into the groove of mixing music right away. Switch on Smart Fader and you can effortlessly transition between 2 tracks by simply moving the crossfader or channel faders, even if you want to go from one musical genre to another – which is usually a difficult skill to master. Simply moving the fader makes the BPM, volume, bass volume, and other aspects of the music automatically adjust to create a smooth transition and you don’t even need to have the sync function turned on. And you can spice up your favourite tracks with Smart CFX, which applies complicated combinations of effects to the music with the turn of a single knob. All this will come in handy for laying on some epic tunes.
When you’re ready to share your performances with friends and followers, the DDJ-FLX4 is the perfect piece of kit. Its USB audio output of the sound from the microphone means you don’t need external equipment such as a mixer or soundcard to add your voice to your mix. Instead, the sound from the microphone is output from the controller along with the music, so you can easily share your set via a stream from a single computer.
The DDJ-FLX4 is now available to buy for £279. Perfect for beginners and hobbyists, this DJ controller will have anyone DJing and mixing like a pro. You can also use the controller with the free Serato DJ Lite software, or there’s the option to buy a license or take out a subscription for Serato DJ Pro – which can be downloaded here. To use the DDJ-FLX4 with rekordbox for free, simply click here to install the PC/Mac version of the software. For more information, go to pioneerdj.com.
