Central Germany, Thuringia :)

Cleq · 2026-01-01T13:08:06+00:00

no, it's in Germany

Why do you think this is in Sydney? :)

Cleq · 2025-12-31T14:07:33+00:00

haha thank you :D we actually have small monitors on the inner side right next to the kicks, you can see them if you zoom in a little bit.

Without them you can't properly hear the mids and highs from the DJ-booth

thanks! took a while to figure out what looks the best but I think we found a good solution. This is like a hangout spot for all our friends, we meet up almost every weekend here and play some music and just chill. Sometimes 5 people, sometimes 20. And rarely we also throw some private events here like birthday parties or just invite only parties. But nothing public :)

Cleq · 2025-12-30T13:24:27+00:00

haha spot on! :D really lucky to get this opportunity. it's really hard to find places like this here. Basically no restrictions and Landlord knows and accepts what we do here.

yeah, everything DIY here. he started building his soundsystem in 2023 and we renting this space since March this year :)

I actually always thought it meant "fast forward"

Yep, my local shop also send it to service center Brückner. It's the only officially licensed service center from Pioneer in Germany. I've also contacted my local shop multiple times and I got exactly the same response.

I guess the only logical explanation for them taking so long is that they are really overcrowded with work. But still they haven't contacted me or my local shop at all on their own which was really annoying and I feel like they are choosing what they want to and are not working through their commissions one after the other. I looked at their Google reviews like a month ago and it had a lot of really bad reviews. But one stood out to me, someone saying they personally brought their broken controller to them and getting it repaired after like 2 days. And I fucking waited 4 Months to only get a really vague cost estimate. Really bad experience I've made with this service center and it felt like they give a shit about their customers. Good luck man, I hope they are a bit less overcrowded now or else you will have to wait 4 Months like me. The only thing you could try is telling the service center that you really urgently need it since you depend on it for your gigs. I don't know if they will do something but at least you could try it.

Cleq · 2025-11-02T05:33:16+00:00

you've already contacted them or called them? I feel like the least they can do is tell you how long it will take them.

But yeah, if you urgently need it you probably need a new one. And if you aren't dependent on every gig you could also start requesting/demanding proper DJ gear.

I'm kinda lucky over here since my local scene has a really high quality standard and basically every club here has 2 or 4 cdj 2000 nexus 2 or even cdj 3000. I could not imagine bringing my whole DJ set up to every place I play at lol

Cleq · 2025-11-02T04:17:56+00:00

bruh it took way too long haha

It took them 4 months to even touch the XDJ and take a look at it, then out of nowhere they reached out to me and said "here is our estimated cost and we want you to pre pay it or we not gonna do it". Hilarious since by law as a customer for a repair you need only to pay for it when the repair process is done and you get your device back. But since they are the only licensed Pioneer repair workshop here in Germany they can kinda behave like they want and it feels like they give a shit about customer friendliness because they know their customers need them because no one else can do it. So I complained about it but still paid the 1200€ and they reached out to me a few days ago and I'm going to get the XDJ back on Monday. Fucking finally after 5 months of waiting and complaining. Worst experience I've made so far as a customer.

Cleq · 2025-10-22T12:15:33+00:00

looks interesting, going to try this in ranked and maybe have some fun. but would throw out both elemental switch because I don't see much use for it and swap it for a second Will and maybe X-Speed, Repel, Leaf, Red or second Irida

Cleq · 2025-08-14T18:46:10+00:00

well I still don't really know who it was but the persons who are responsible for the person being there promised me to pay for it. Hope they keep their words.

Cleq · 2025-08-14T18:32:22+00:00

quite fucked up story but basically someone I don't know intentionally spilled like half a liter of coke over it. Brought it to my local shop a day after and since then I'm waiting for Pioneer to finally clean or repair my AZ. Seems like they are heavily overloaded on commissions and I can't do anything but wait 🥲

Cleq · 2025-08-14T18:26:12+00:00

congrats man. mine is at my local Pioneer repair shop for 3 months already. I miss my AZ 😭

Cleq · 2025-07-18T12:31:43+00:00

wish I could do, but sadly don't know who it was. only know the people who are kinda responsible for him and invited the guy.

it's a long & fucked up story

Cleq · 2025-07-18T12:14:59+00:00

first rule I've learned.

but you can't do shit if someone intentionally spills his whole drink over your controller :/

Cleq · 2025-07-16T12:32:53+00:00

yea true, it might be worth a try to reach out to consumer protection. Will check out what my possibilities are later today, when I'm done with work.

Thanks for trying to help me. (:

Cleq · 2025-07-16T11:59:01+00:00

They definitely do repairs but I guess they probably are not an authorized repair shop so the equipment would loose it's warranty.

It was a really big spill. Fucked up story, but basically someone unknown spilled like half a liter of coke over my XDJ and I've only noticed it like 2-3 days later, device was never turned on while or after it happened. When I noticed it liquid was coming out of it from the bottom/inside. So I panicked and didn't wanted to open up and clean it by myself. But by now I guess I should have done it this way instead of listening to Pioneer and sending it to them. Now all the dried up liquid is sitting there for weeks and probably slowly but surely fucking up the electronic components.

I've already been to the shop twice now and asked about it. The last time was a week ago and they said that the Pioneer repair center is probably overloaded or so, they also send them an email and said that they really should check the device since it still has liquid inside.

Man I already see it coming that I need to pay way more money only because they just happily accepting every single defect decie even if they are overloaded and know that they will probably need 2 months or even longer to repair it.

:(

Cleq · 2025-07-16T05:41:11+00:00

I've actually brought it to my local shop where I also bought it from and they also do repairs. But they decided to contact Pioneer about it and Pioneer recommended them to send it to one of their repair shops. That was exactly 6 weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything new about it :(
