Hey guys, I was just wondering what other thoughts were on this. i was watching some 12th planet video, love the dude and his style, but in most videos of him(and countless other big djs for that matter) they dont seem to be very hands on with their gear. It seems as though to go on tour and be a big name dj you just need to be a good hype man and have good P.R and that crap is taking importance over actual mixing skills.
Shouldn't live djs be shredding it on their equipment and have less time to dance around and pose for camera's? If that's your life and all you do is practice i would expect to utilize a better setup than 2 cdjs and a mixer for more unique performances.
For example, i watched a 14 minute set of his and saw him touch his mixer like 3 times, is this DJing?
Its something that is getting under my skin more and more and i feel like were falling into a "press play' and jump around type dj scene. Am i crazy or do you guys catch this alot too?
