Attitude towards controllerism/digital DJs

**Karlos Santos** · 05-04-2009, 08:41 AM

The funny thing is its only us lot discussing this. The crowd dont care . As long as its not the twat that i know locally who presses Autoplay and goes to the bar (or even the pub across the road) for 4 hours they dont care how its been done.

Id even say that some people are MORE impressed when they see all the tech i have with me. I mean everyones seen 2 decks or CDJs but when the see all that plus 1 or 2 laptops and controllers its like "woah it looks like the space-shuttle control desk"

Theres definitely one thing that impresses the crowd more with technology that you cant do with a traditional setup is when you get a request you say yeah ill play it in a while and then you whack it on 20seconds later. That group of people go fucking nuts, hands in the air and they love you for it and youve got them forever then.
You cant do that with cds and vinyl very often.

So true,

but lets not forget the types of people, usually hipsters that can't admit that they are having fun. or the dnb kids that say that pendulum never done anything good, or the "real" hiphopers who say hiphop is dying and that every good hiphop track was made before 1998, or the rockers that dont think you know anything about anything unless you can recite the entire biography of some drummer in some band, or the pop nerd who only listens to music that only he/she has in their possession and its so good, or the vegetarian brat child in a rich western country that have the luxury to choose what to eat everyday and tries to force everyone in the world to just eat veggies

oh and the so called "dj" that doesnt understand that you can be an artist even if that means using a brush or an etch-a-sketch

I use Tooltablism for englobe Turntablism+Controllerism+any kind of free human perform.

Like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do it is only a name.

"The water which flows never gets stagnant..."

Don't try to limit yourself building a better jail...
