Is Midi DJing Destroying Dance Culture ?
We all know theres loads of controversy when it comes to midi djing, but i read this article the other day which I think you may all find interesting.
Synth Pop and Controllerism - united across the decades
In a word?
No.
“Dance Culture” has been assaulted by a great many things, since long before the age of “MIDI”.
Poor taste, placing profit above all else, and a general “blind eye” towards sound quality is destroying dance culture.
In my opinion at least.
The difference is more now people see them, while in the past, they just listen to from a a vinyl pusher.
Oh well. Endless stories again.. what’s next after controllers & Sync btw?!?

People will always dance.
You can’t stop the beat.
I was reading a review on the Twitch and its touch strips… seems pretty sweet what you can do with em… deffinately the death of the jogwheel

Link bait!!! Write an article like this and get people to link to it and get visitors.. I think that’s what everyones doing at this point. I’m close to launching a new “scene” site for my local area, I’ll have to remember to write something about controllers/sync/etc to quickly get hits. lol
MIDI has been in the scene since the 70’s and our culture owes a lot to it, just saying.
not that fuckin video again.
yep shits fuckin ruined it’s your fault
But it’s the FUTURE!!!
In all seriousness, this guy killed the dance culture
Agreed.
The title of this thread has absolutely nothing to do with the article you posted. It’s inflammatory for no reason whatsoever. Gizmo doesn’t even mention dance culture and the word dance isn’t even in the article.
^^lol
No more than DJs destroyed dance culture when they took over what used to be the role of a band.
i win, cuz i play synth pop at gigs and still use midi. A technology thats almost 30 years old, whoa…im almost 30 too.
What?! OMG there will be no music left anymore!! Real DJs use jogwheels, not those newfangled touch strips!! Jog wheels are the only way to preserve the art and skills of the DJ!! Everything else is just button pushing!!
Besides, jog wheels sound so much warmer.
I suppose thats a really good insight.
This is just stupid what on earth possesed him to do this vid.
The little raised eyebrow made me chuckle though.
