The Magma Bags Riot DJ-Stashpack XL Plus offers enough space for a mixer or DJ controller, records, vinyl and a laptop. That’s pretty much an entire mobile DJ kit.

Disco balls have added flair to parties for decades. A DJ will appreciate a disco ball in any setting including a home party, wedding or club gig as it creates a new atmosphere to their set. ADJ sell three different disco balls available in 8-inch, 12-inch and 16-inch sizes.

The Phillips Hue 3 Smart Bulb Kit includes three color changing bulbs that can be synced to music. It also greatly enhances the atmosphere of any room or music studio. This is a brilliant gift for any DJ or music producer that they will appreciate. It also works with Google Assistant and Alexa.
Earplugs
As a DJ, having the correct ear protection when attending events is crucial. Gifting the right earplugs to a DJ will allow them to enjoy their hobby for many years to come.
At night clubs and music festivals the sound levels tend to be extremely high – but the right earplugs will bring the music down to a more appropriate level.
Beatport Link subscription
Once you’ve purchased a bunch of DJ hardware, building a proper catalogue of music tends to end up costing a lot. A few DJ controllers and all-in-one DJ controllers from Denon DJ and rekordbox DJ support Beatport Link. A subscription will be a great gift for any DJ.
Samsung X5 Portable SSD
If you know the person you’re buying a gift for has a large digital music collection, a reliable USB stick or SSD to backup their files might be a great gift choice. The Samsung X5 Portable SSD for example is an external SSD provides insanely fast transfer speeds and portability.
QSC K12.2 DJ Speaker
When festivals stopped, most DJs started investing in proper DJ speakers so that they can play music at home or parties at high volumes.
Only quality speakers will really allow you to crank volumes at high levels – which is why we like the QSC K12.2 DJ Speaker as a gift. For a 12-inch speaker, these provide superb sound with a decent amount of bass.
