When the Kontrol Z2 mixer first was announced, it was clear that one of the areas that Native Instruments was trying to focus the appeal of the product was as a turntablist centerpiece. As predicted a number of our readers, the Traktor team brought in 5x DMC Champion DJ Craze for a routine on the mixer, which happened to be released this morning.

The performance is solid, showing off how his workflow can compress down to using the cue points in a fashion not dissimilar to Dicers.

Check out the full video, slow motion and robots included:

The video also marks the official in-store launch of the Kontrol Z2 mixer  - so if you’re stoked on grabbing one, you can check it out in the links below:

    As always Craze is amazing. I’m just going to out myself as being an idiot here and ask how he even changed tracks/samples. I watched this three times and I still can’t figure it out.

    theres 2 buttons to toggle the 4 buttons between triggering hot cues on A or B or for launching samples in C + D

    it was good, but not nearly as good as PREVIOUS craze/traktor video
    routines were. I hope shiftee’s video really brings something
    interesting with the z2.

    ps: fuck i was sleeping but woke up because its too damn hot down here in buenos aires
