Big name DJs who switched to controllers?
Hey, I’m writing an essay on digital DJing vs traditional DJing and I need some examples of big name DJs who switched from tables to some sort of controllers. Any suggestions?
Cheers, Misha
Dubfire.
He used to use Serato.
Richie Hawtin?
Also are there any clubs which cater specifically to digital DJS/Controllerists?
Some clubs are starting to jump on the serato bandwagon, never seen an audio 8 in a club tho.
main ones i know are richie hawtin, dubfire and carl cox
Sasha, Pete Tong.
Most big club/festival venues now have the CDJ2000’s that can jump between CDJ and controllers.
Give this a read, it may help with your essay, good luck…
DJ Fresh.
Carl Cox…
here’s a cool vid of Speedy J and Chris Liebing rocking some serious controller action:

Pete tong (x1’s) and nic fanciulli (maschine) come to mind
Tiesto used an APC40 in a videoclip a saw lately, maybe worth mentioning?
Calvin Harris uses an apc40.
There was a list of them in a one of the blog articles a couple of weeks ago.
does dvs count as a controller?
carl cox uses his pmc cx and 3 cdj 2000 with traktor control cd’s
Names with video links at the end of the article.
he uses a machine…with traktor control cds
Any pics/videos confirming this?
Seba (DNB artist) uses a VCI 100 I think.
I remember him being furious on twitter a while back when his S4 broke and he had to cancel a gig, I think it was in edinburgh.
Uses an X1 for effects as well.
