long and worth watching.

Call me an old fart but DJing is really fucking stupid.

tbh, DJing is actually a very nuanced art, when done right but is self righteous overpaid itunes operating when not done right. which is most of the time unfortunately. people like this give the art a very bad name.

what a fucking mupit ,


there is actualy good potentail to use i pads as a decent music app ,

but this is just retarded , the vast majorty of D,Js should just be taken to a cattel shed and shot on the face .

Its such a shame that the word DJ is used for people that can actualy produce music as well as people that can only match the beets up on 2 tracks and then fade between them , ocisoinaly putting in sfx and changing the pitch.

allso the way the women talks about this as if its some cheep alternative ,

fucking using a laptop in live mode with USB devices has exsited for over a decade and has offerd the full dj exsperance with evan more controle than nomral hard ware for under £700.

Its total moronas like this woman that make up socity and just dont have a fucking clue and yet people think they are amazing .

Moving this video to volumptuous's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

DJing and production are 2 completely different things. a lot of DJs produce and a lot of producers DJ but they're completely different ways of thinking. DJing ≠ production

beatmatch DJing conceptually is quite simple but it's not easy and it's actually very difficult to do well. matching the BPMs and fading between tunes is only the most rudimentary skill and even that is not nearly as easy as it sounds (some people can pick that up really quickly, most can't). keeping a crowd moving, re-contextualizing tunes, creating a story, keeping innovative, and staying on top of the music are some of the more mid level skills and they're very hard/impossible to teach.

This. Having done some DJing, it's a lot harder than it first appears, even if you can match beats - you need to keep the crowd going and have an (almost!) encyclopaedic knowledge of the tunes in your box to know what will fit next.
