Saw peggy gou martinez and others recording a video during their sets....a bit funny imho
On the other side I really hate that ones standing in the middle of the crowd ... I was going to the bar at circoloco closing and someone pushed me because I was stuck in front of two girls...

the whole industry today is essentially Spinal Tap 2. it’s amazing how many people still don’t realise it

The overwhelming majority of techno/house DJs will still mix. They have the functionality to beat match but very few will use it. If they were caught their credibility would take a battering...

And re the point about creativity and DJs I have to say I disagree. It all sounds a bit cliched but I think it does take creativity to know and select the right tracks to suit the mood/venue/event and be able to build a musical ‘journey’ etc. Not to mention the technical skills that a few (not all admittedly) have whether it’s still on vinyl, mixing multiple digital tunes at once, various bits of specialised hardware etc.
The top guys and girls really are skillfull there’s no doubt about it, so the adulation they get from fans is as justified as it is of any other type of musician for me. As someone points out above they are the rockstars of my (18-30s) generation.

What did I just witness ???
.... modern day equivalent of MC Wontshuthisfookingob's Friday night mashup on steroids. The accompanying act is mesmerically atrocious - think I could have swallowed a swarm of flies through that in disbelief

On your sync button point, you don't even need to press it, on laptop and cdjs the bpm is there to see even to 2 decimal places so you simply cannot go wrong.
But your right, it's still a skill blending the tracks, some djs use there technical skills on other ways now.
And selecting the right tracks is definitely the most important thing.
What annoys me is all these Instagram videos of djs fiddling a nob waiting for a big drop, and video is titled 'x' killing it at 'x' festival. When in actual fact they are doing f*** all they have just put on a song usually by some other artist and are waitng for the good part.
Not talking about mixing, talking about producing. If you don’t mix or produce then you’re pretty much worthless.

Could start from the top and ban said DJ’s from filming videos that are plastered all over their Instagram.
To be fair a little bit of filming is not the worse phone related crime ... at Pacha there were people pushing their way to prime dancing location and then proceeding to stand looking at WhatsApp with a screen brightness like the sun ... now that is a vibe killer

This!
Taking a quick video (with flash off!) I can handle no problem as long as its not overboard. Then phone straight back into pocket.
But people are then standing posting this on insta or sending on watsapp.
Just standing texting on their phones on dance floor. Turn the light down at least.
