Since the introduction of Pioneer’s CDJ decks in 1994, digital DJ gear has innovated tenfold. Screens have become bigger, touch screen-compatible and more detailed. Advanced features and effects have been added, and taken away, and units have become more compact.

The next step up in terms of compatibility for DJ gear is the standalone DJ controller. Sometimes called an all-in-one DJ system or a console, a standalone controller condenses your DJ deck setup down while maintaining sturdy, quality features found on pro-grade kit. They combine the mixer, decks and screens into a singular unit; some even have speakers built-in, making them a dream for a swift setup at a house party.

So, if you’re looking to get the party started in seconds, check out this list of the eight best standalone DJ options on the market right now.
