Reloop Flux Go Keeps DVS Portable
A Small Box for a Very Specific DVS Problem
Reloop Flux Go is a compact two-channel USB-C DVS interface built for Serato DJ Pro. According to Reloop, it is an ultra-compact 4-in/4-out interface for Serato DJ Pro, while Serato’s hardware page lists it as both Serato DJ Pro enabled and Serato DVS enabled. In practical terms, it lets DJs use turntables or CDJs with a conventional mixer without needing to buy a modern DVS-certified battle mixer.
That makes Flux Go important for a reason that is easy to miss: many DJs already own mixers they like. A classic Vestax, Allen & Heath, Ecler, Rane, Pioneer, or rotary mixer may feel better than a new all-in-one controller, but modern DJ software often expects licensed hardware in the chain. A small DVS interface keeps those rigs alive.
Why DVS Interfaces Still Matter
The DJ industry has spent years pushing integrated controllers and certified mixers, but the modular DVS box still solves real problems. It is portable, flexible, and less expensive than replacing an entire mixer. It also supports a booth reality many turntablists know well: the best-feeling mixer in the room is not always the newest or most software-connected one.
Who Should Care?
- Scratch DJs who want Serato DVS with a favorite analog mixer.
- Mobile DJs who need a compact backup interface for unpredictable setups.
- Vinyl collectors who want to blend real records and timecode control.
- Hybrid DJs who use CDJs, turntables, and software depending on the gig.
The Software Trade-Off
Flux Go is not a replacement for a full performance controller. You still need transport, library, loop, cue, and stem control from a laptop keyboard, a MIDI accessory, CDJ/HID control, or another device. But that is also the point: it lets the DJ choose the control surface instead of being forced into a single hardware layout.
The Bigger Trend
Between Reloop Flux Go and emerging laptop-free ideas like Devious Pocket, DVS is clearly not dead. It is splitting into two lanes: software-first DVS for DJs who want Serato’s library, stems, and effects, and standalone DVS experiments for DJs who want vinyl control without a computer. Both lanes prove the same thing: timecode remains a powerful bridge between old-school feel and digital flexibility.
