As you’ve said, technology takes away the skill required to beat match, obviously any fool can do that. Mixing is what makes your set and sound unique, when you bring in the bass or drop out the first track, its individual to the DJ.
Posted by Pete]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:32:31 -0500 Nashville Scene this isn't really an arguable assertion - obviously, even unmixed sets should strive for some sort of cohesion. but i'd like to add that the opposite also makes for a terrible time, i.e. when a DJ clings to a particular BPM count for way too long.
to be clear: i certainly dislike it when people who set up an itunes playlist, push play, and then do nothing call themselves "DJs." quite lame.
Posted by sam]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:21:06 -0500 Nashville Scene When CDJs first came along, the vinyl purists said "oh, that's not really DJing" - now pretty much everybody uses CDJs.
Then laptops/midi controllers came along and the CDJ "purists" (if you can say that) said "oh that's not really DJing" - and now it's being more accepted.
The same thing will happen with iPod DJing. One day you'll go to a club and see some dude with a chip embedded in his head with every song ever written and can just think the song he wants to play next.

I do use 2 ipods so I can overlap tracks, as well as a Kaoscillator, ES1, and some simple FX to do my own 'dubs,' but even so, this is mostly for my own amusement and I really do NOT consider it DJ'ing.

I just like music alot.
I'll admit seeing a Real DJ manipulate vinyl and match beats is a pretty awesome thing.
Posted by burrito]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 09:35:41 -0500 Nashville Scene as for selection, i would obviously rather hear trainwreck after trainwreck of solid tunes versus some asshole crab scratching into infinity over a break loop, but there is a line you have to draw somewhere. standing in front of an ipod looking like a no talent dick is that line.

i enjoy re-reading this column every so often if i feel like i'm starting to take myself too seriously about DJing.
3) my opinion: selection triumphs everything, including method of delivery and/or skill.

2) Because they're already toned deaf. The younger generations have 10% more hearing loss on average by age 18 coupled with a number of other audio factors like Ipods and cell phones, in other words, they already have significant hearing loss the previous generations, far more than the original Rock generation ever did.
