Looking at those red lined VU meters make me wonder how many speakers this guy has blown.

Most Dubstep DJing I've seen seems to redline. Even the POV I've seen on youtube has Skrillex doing it but guys like Fatboy Slim avoiding it.
Pioneer mixers, from what I've seen have a lot more red in the actual vu scale, so you'll be tipping into the red even in a well balanced mix, but his levels were completely pushing out the top... I'm sure there was a sound engineer somewhere between his mixer and the speakers?
Sound engineers have their work cut out for them these days lol
Pioneer mixers stop metering at around 10db, but have 18db of headroom and an attenuator. You have to literally try to make them clip, and Im pretty sure it didn't clip in that video..
OMG, that Dj scares me.
Gonna have nightmares tonight.
Reminds me when I went to a Raindance do and heard this

I thought I was listening to the Omen
The sound engineers have it all handled. They would never let the speakers blow at a show, unless they were careless.
Balls Out. Nipples Out. Shabba!
