What software is Pete Tong using?

This photo of Tongy in the middle of a set at One Big Weekend clearly shows him using some sort of software setup alongside his turntables. Anyone tell me what he's using? Is is final scratch?

I can almost guarantee you that he is running SSL with 2 Pioneer CDJ-1000s. If you look closely, SSL is not running in internal mode; thus Serato is hooked up through an external source. Serato can run via turntables or CDs….you take your pick.

CDJs are just replacing your decks. SSL works the same way with both, but there's more advantages on using CDJs as oppposed to decks... For instance, with CDJs you dont have to worry about calibration or a needle going bad on you during a show. Oh yeah, and my personal favorite, you don't have to worry about needles skipping, warped records, and feedback. With the CDJs, if your control CDs go bad, you just make a back up copy. With vinyl, you have to buy new ones.
