    Agreed. It doesnt matter what tools you use, as long as the end result sounds awesome and pleases the crowd!

    Hell, musical innovation with technology is what started DJing in the first place, and this spirit still has a place in today’s DJing. Just looks at people like Ean Golden or Moldover, they’re making amazing music from are effectivly improvised instruments. Now that’s not what I aspire to, not fading between two tunes on wax….

    The worst offenders seem to those of my generation, hovering around 40 years old who were at the original warehouse parties in 88 / 89 for some strange reason..
    Rose tinted glasses or clinging on to the past?
    They conveniently forget get the guys like Welly, Vertigo, etc (who i know for certain DJ on DAW) were also there too at the beginning, they dont get piled with abuse.
    In fact every time i’ve seen Vertigo play in the last few years it aint been on Vinyl

    I remember seeing DJ Armando show up to Medusa’s and play with two turntables and a reel-to-reel.

    I used to edit some tracks on older wav editing software, then play them into my set when I used a 4-track recorder to make mixes. I carefully manipulated the pitch control on the recorder to somehow mix it in.

    I’ve said before how many DJs in the 90s used ProTools to make mixes, using sequencers, editing, and warping.

    This is a redundant point. DJing isn’t just about rotating platters, but about making sets or even music with other pieces of music.

    Well I’m going clubbing tonight and I am hoping I see some DJs using laptops! I want to see what they can do and have a nosey around at their gear.
