    perhaps but I have integrated my arduinome (osc controller) and my vestax vci 100 to some "tricks" and then I am...

    No. I'm still a Free Human Creative outside all these "mind jails".

    I use tooltablism to integrate any "tool" (turntable as a tool not only as a instrument) in my attempt to fill the gap and build a bridge between all this "organized desesperation".


    enjoy...

    despite my long ass essay i do agree with this though. again it's personal preference at the end of the day.

    wait what. i'm confused, did you think i was addressing your post - i was addressing the OP.

    turntables =/= turntablist
    controllers =/= controllerist
    was my point, then you echoed my sentiment...

    turntablist - scratches, does mental routines using double ups and other tricks, works mainly on tt, possibly with dvs can be done on cdj. can use controllers
    dex n fx - done with more than 2 tts or cdjs (any combination) uses samplers or sampler style effects, remixes and mashes up live. could also encompass dvs/controller hybrid set-ups, but has a different workflow/sound to turntablism.
    controllerism - combination of turntablism, dex n fx and cue juggles in any ratio/combination done on controllers, if tt/cdj timecode is involved then it's either turntablism or dex n fx dependent on workflow

    maybe some of that is too black and white, but as a guideline i think it works to illustrate my opinion.
    we should make a DJTT dictionary. i agree with these as a rough definition

    personally, i think the term "controllerist" is kind of pretentious. is "dj" really not enough anymore?

    DJ is plenty.

    More than plenty...

    Whats wrong with being a DJ and saying "Im a DJ".
    Sure you can explain further how you DJ and what you use to DJ but yadda yadda yadda... your a DJ, especially if your standing in front of people making them dance playing other peoples tunes.

    This is a never ending discussion.


    I very much doubt a girl/boy has ever said "I f*cked that controllerist last nite"
