Excellent summary of the potential ramifications of Serato's acquisition by Pioneer DJ. Logic says there's a strong chance of Serato, a NZ success story, ceasing to exist in the medium term and its IP absorbed into Rekordbox. But let's see, early days yet.

Emerging from the PL bunker at this news! Like everyone in the musictech industry, we'll be watching closely to see what this means as the details and implications become clearer, but no question this is a BIG DEAL! Good or bad for the NZ musictech cluster... hmm, time will tell!
This weekend, we air the final ep of FPR.
Since we began the show in 2016, we have featured about 430 separate artists from over 40 countries, with the lion's share from Aotearoa. We're hugely grateful to all the artists and DJs, and to @95bFM , @mouthfullnz , and @RadioOne91FM.
Congrats to @AKLcityofmusic for picking up a 2nd successive Music Cities Award on the weekend, great (small) team working to lift the game in Auckland! 💪💥Much still needs to be done of course, support and funding required to help scale their efforts! 🙏https://t.co/j5uR6bYqIX
Our final session from 2022 was the CE’s Panel with @samgtgribben from @MelodicsHQ, @YoungLy from @Serato and InMusic NZ’s @Morgandonocoro reflecting on insights and learnings from building their companies from Aotearoa. https://t.co/qZo7xDt56J

Our mates at @Serato have just released the public beta of Serato DJ 3.0 becoming the first pro level DJ platform to support STEMS. Big news from the granddaddy of the NZ musictech space, and so good to see them still leading the innovation charge 💥🙌💪 https://t.co/61OGPfu2Sa

Early breakfast for the PSUM community before hitting @blackbirdvc Sunrise Aotearoa.. what a fantastic morning here in Auckland. Now onto our fave startup gathering!☕️🌅
I met @DiazGrimm77 at @0xPSUM x @perfectloudness meetup a while back, & this profile on him + his latest album is super interesting. Whether you're a Web3 believer or not, his points on the financial struggle to make your art your career is as unfortunately as relevant as ever 💸
There’s also really interesting panel talks going on today from 3PM. Have a look at the program and come check it out. Also all free!
