No matter what kind of gig, Beatsource LINK’s convenient and reliable integration with rekordbox allows instant access to all the hits from top genres including Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, Latin, Dance, and Reggae / Dancehall. Beatsource LINK is also known for their Offline Performance Mode feature, which provides the ability to store up to 100 songs in a locker to be used without an internet connection. With this, DJs can create, build, and manage their personal playlists on Beatsource.com and not be dependent on a strong wi-fi connection for their DJ set.
