you see how different the view on this is, i think 95% of all DJs worldwide suck extremely our days, and it has zero to do with vinyl or not! It's about that hardly anyone has skills and passion anymore and by skills i don't mean beatmixing with platters...

I for example could puke if see DJs still playing vinyls imean puke over their decks and then hit them so hrad in the face that the nose exits the back of the skull.

use modern technology to the fullest, but with soul and passion, the soul and passion is what's missing.
and don't give me the crap that vinyl sounds better

You know I wasn't going there! I have no interest in the "what sounds better" discussion.

In fact, having a frank discussion about DJing is impossible. There are so many different styles of music that people can DJ that it makes it impossible to simply discuss it.

For example, there are some nightclubs in my neighborhood that have big sound systems with lots of lights and fog machines. On the weekends people travel from all over to go to these clubs wearing their fanciest clothes. DJ's spin all night long, scary looking girls wear glitter bikini tops, and the next day the sidewalk smells like rotting margarita mix.

I live nearby. I love electronic music and DJing. Yet I avoid these clubs like the plague. I walk a specific route home as to avoid getting close to these clubs. To me, clubs like this are the gates of hell.

I'm more into bar DJ's who play a good set and get people dancing uninhibitedly. I like DJ's who play all kinds of differnt genres of music, but make it all work. I like DJ's who take chances. To me, sticking to a BPM and a key and a genre gets really boring after 10 minutes.

So I cannot have a frank discussion on the topic. I can say that I will not be investing in a pair of CDJ-2000's, 900's, or any deck with an optical drive.

+1 in the end i think we are not far from each other at all... i am totally into the same thing and that is why i started to avoid those big name berlin clubs as well... they simply bore me to death, and it's the DJs there that bring the boredom in the first place.

peace.

for that price I could hire a real dj to play the gig for me
and still not have to carry records.
