Hi everyone,
I read this forum frequently and always find a new way to use my equipment, an amazing account to follow on SoundCloud, or something musically inspiring.
I question whether I myself am a DJ because I don't perform other people's recorded work - in other words, I compose everything I perform. I play some of the same venues, including bars and clubs. Some of the techniques that many of you use are mainstays of my art, and I use equipment popular with many DJs, like Ableton Suite 8, my Akai APC40, and my Oxygen 61. However, I also don't scratch, or use anything disc shaped, like jog wheels or turntables in my performance.
I'd also like to ask whether you think it matters or is really important whether one calls himself a DJ, and what matters to or defines being a DJ to you.
Thanks,
Sam
