The Traktor Kontrol S8 made a lot of noise when it came out in 2014, almost 2 years ago. The lack of jogwheels, the build in screens, the 4 line faders per deck to control remix decks.. It was quite different from other controllers on the market. 2 years later the S8 still is relevant, with the arrival of Stems and the Sequencer function it becomes a true performance machine for the creative DJ/producer.
