I think it shows more of a clamour for relevancy, by whatever desperate means. Who knows, you might start seeing DJs turn up to play wearing animal heads, I don't know

Touche!!

Danny rules. Really nice guy too.

Couldn't agree more

"I always assumed that if you played on Ableton it allowed you all this creativity, but then I saw DJs just pressing play a minute before the end of one track to start another, and thought ‘you've spent the last six minutes drinking'"

Haha love this! It's funny because it's true...I tried DJing with Ableton and then Traktor without any turntables and it became sooo boring. Just pressing buttons every 4-5 minutes...much happier back on the CDJs!
