The Homemix CDJ1 comes recommended by gadgets and technology bible Stuff magazine. Here's what they said:
‘Having twin CDs and mixing controls on a ghetto blaster is an interesting idea and, in good hands, is a lot of fun... But the piece de resistance is that you can mix with the cassette deck, which sports a separate +/-5% pitch control. So finally you can put those old Marillion tapes to good use – as sonic weaponry'.
