DJ Times is an American music-trade magazine specializing in the disc jockey market based out of Port Washington, New York. Established in 1988 by Testa Communications, DJ Times was the first DJ-specific magazine to publish in the United States. Every month, more than 30,000 DJs turn to DJ Times as their primary source for product information, business tips, music, news, and more.

In addition, each August, DJ Times presents The DJ Expo at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Produced by DJ Times and its publisher Testa Communications since 1990, the Expo remains the DJ industry's best-attended, most-successful trade show and convention.

Since 2006, DJ Times has conducted America's Best DJ—a vote and promotion to find out the country's most-popular DJ. Each year, DJ Times nominates 100 DJs, and fans vote for their favorites both online and in-person at selectred tour events that run from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Since its inception, Pioneer DJ has served as title sponsor to ABDJ's supporting schedule of live events, known officially as: America's Best DJ Summer Tour Presented by Pioneer DJ & DJ Times.

In November 2013, DJ Times began a year-long celebration of the magazine’s 25th anniversary. Each month features a look back through the years at the hot DJs, game-changing products and memorable events. From the heart of the underground to the periphery of the mainstream, DJ Times doesn't miss a beat. Drawing from DJ-related exhibitions, trade shows, events and trends, DJ Times brings the most comprehensive, up-to-date stories and information in the industry. Monthly content includes:

News - Brings on-the-spot information from DJ-related exhibition/trade shows, events or trends. Reports new products or developments as they pertain to the professional, working DJ.

Sounding Off – Reviews a recently released professional audio product (mixer, source component, speaker, amp or signal processor) and explains its relevance to the DJ.
