People who over-exaggerate and "flutter" or "flick" their hands while DJ'ing.

Lol!

This is dumb.

Let the man be in th music and with the flow of things.

Why does Qbert makes his mouth all wierd when he scratches? Same reason guitarists do when using the Wah Pedal.

When DJ's do it (and I mean the real deal) its to keep them in the rythme and groove.

The poser DJ's do it cuz they think its cool.

I used to know all the local producers moves...and tease em about it.

Everyone has their move!

Whether is the karate chop on the beats....the shake....the finger guns....we all do it!

I agree, what do you want - a dj to stand there like a robot and have no passion and life and connection with the music?!?!?!

When you know exactly what you're doing, and you're comfortable with the equipment, then it looks natural, and you can do it to your hearts content.

BUT - some people do it to try and convince us that they ARE comfortable with their equipment, when really, they are not. It's not convincing, and the nerves show through. A shaking hand is a dead give away. ;)

Stoopid little tweaks of knobs faders also get my goat. Sometimes, the fader/knob is not even moved - just held for split second. Stoopid.

My MASSIVE hate is when people do that stoopid left to right shuffle with their feet, and try to disguise it as dancing...

That makes me shit my pants with laughter every time...

If you are not comfortable in from of a camera or in front of people, don't try to disguise it. Just practice/get more experience playing out!

You'll regret picking up those stoopid little habits when you have got the experience and confidence to play out - but you're still flicking that fader like a noob.

Ahh...the march!

HEHEHEHEHEH

Knob riding.....yeah....you need to do that if you got 4 decks going etc. But yeah, I have seen the guys with their hands stuck to the knobs.

The etymology of that is pretty obvious, too much egg can spoil what you're cooking.

unless you are cooking an omelette! :p

When I Dj I jump around like an asshole. Don't have a problem with hand flicks. I do find hot-touching knobs hilarious but other than that I say : do you. People hate on Dj bl3nd all of the time but at least he is enjoying himself.

The best thing I ever saw was this guy doing that move where you boost one band on a channel and then cut the same band on another channel... he had his elbows really into it and everything... but only one song was playing...

I started doing it as a nervous twitch. Now it is just kind of a habit I cant really control. I play with the EQ knobs all the time even though I dont always move them.

I hear you, ive seen a lot of EDM djs do the Jesus Pose during the build up followed by the Heart Hands. One thing is to groove to the music another thing is to draw unnessicary attention to yourself. Fake knob twisting & slamming on buttons is kind'a boring IMO. This must go back to the early days of Djing where djs were cutting & scratch on vinyl. Boy do times change.

You're not alone. Can we have a support group yet?

here's a video of skrillex doing absolutely fuckall (really...twisting that FX SELECTOR knob real tuff!) and just playing a premade track back in ableton (IN ARRANGEMENT VIEW.... could have just played it in iTunes ffs....

u mad he gets paid more than u?

u jelly?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvDmjc16ysA

looks like session view to me mate

hmm on closer thought, im not sure. its either a REALLY EMPTY session view with only two very wide columns.... or arrangement view (the waveform at the bottom throws me off...im used to seeing that in arrangement view when tracking stuff out idk)

either way, he's still not actually doing much.

no doubt. its like 6 tracks in session view. tops. The volume faders are a bit of a giveaway for sessionview though.

Is that an audio 2 soundcard?

Looks a lot like it.

Best I have seen is my mate Skragg. He dropped a remix of Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson and was headbanging to it....so hard....that his forehead hit the mixer!

He had a knob impression on his noggin!

Fuck we pissed ourselves!

Imagine the knob had come off and stuck to his forehead. I would have shat my pants....for sure!

I lol'd very hard. Thanks for making my day.

My niece knows all these new moves!

They have a Television add here at the moment using this track and its really fired up the youngsters.

They tried to introduce a few dance routines nationally for the World Cup recently, but that failed epically.

However, put it on a TV Ad and the kids pick it up like cheap sweets.

haters gonna hate

Dude.....you will have to remove the SC preview from your Sig.

Against the rules.
