Since its release, the Vestax Spin djay controller has been a huge success. So huge, that it was at times hard to get one. Unfortunately the long backlog of orders sometimes had people waiting for their shipment for months, until the precious box arrived and the mixing could finally begin!

This is why we’re excited to let you know that the Spin is now shipping within 24hrs from the Apple Online Store (in the U.S. and Canada)! For all other countries, please check availability on our website – in most places in the world it should now be possible to get a Spin.

We also put together a playlist on YouTube with some great videos of Spin users mixing their music. Check them out and see what you can do with your Spin!
