XDJ-RR BPM changing on its own

I bought the XDJ-RR last year when it was first released. I loaded 16000 songs onto various usb's and all the songs worked fine. I've since loaded my last 2 sets (about 25 songs) and these tracks flucuate in BPM...if a song is playing at 125.0 it will jump to 125.2, down to 124.8 etc. Sometimes it jumps almost a full beat! I honestly don't think the song is actually changing because I don't seem to have trouble beat matching. I do not use sync and do not adjust grids, just mix by ear the old fashioned way. All the affected songs have been purchased legally from itunes and Beatport and analyzed through Rekordbox

"I do not use sync and do not adjust grids" -- and that could actually be the key.

If you have analysed the songs in DYNAMIC mode, but they're all perfectly consistent tempo tracks, the system is working to try and warp the tempo up and down as it plays the track, regardless of sync. Any electronic-percussion songs should be analysed in NORMAL mode to avoid this issue.

Please try re-analysing a few tracks which you have noticed to be problematic and see if this resolves it for you.
