Steve Angello on 7 CDJ's and 2 mixers...
It's all over the place, surprised it hasn't been here.
He drops tech and good tracks like if it was 2008. He will be doing playing this kind of stuff more and more. But lets be realistic, he still needs to incorporate the cheese in there, because it's what made him. He can't/wont re-invent himself like Prydz by forget what made him famous, better yet ask Prydz to play "call one me."
What's the point when he has only one running at a time?
7CDJs and 1 premixed CD
so ministry of sound has a giant dj booth with a ton of mixers/cdj's/effects units.
I highly doubt 7 cdj's are listed on Steve's rider.
He was just making the most of what he had available to him. I dont see it as showing off or trying to be fancy.
I do hope he tries to transition his style to what he used to play back in the days.

Look's like his doing a whole lot of nothing. he butchered that eric p track.
I love that this comes one day after Deadmau5 says DJs don't do more than hit play.
i think the most i've ever used at once was 4 decks
i just don't see the point of having more than that. 4 tracks at once is only useful is very rare occasions
he's just being a little bitch and trying to undo the damage he did to his image after playing premixed cds
Would be impressive if he was using these things called headphones to do actual work instead of cue points and having it pre "mixed."

| Originally posted by Dream Beamz you really need to stand behind him for a show, he is actually a really talented DJ. The pre mixed thing with the fireworks was just that.... I am sure some of the SHM shows (like MSG) were mostly pre mixed but when I stood behind him once (roseland ballroom NYE NYC) I watched in detail and he mixed all night without headphones, only a few slips the whole night. In the recording that was broadcast you can hear the slight wrecking occurring. His CD's wernt even pre set to a certain BPM (like most headliners do now), he was working the pitch all night long |

| Originally posted by darthseph The most I'm hearing on the wonderful quality audio (not trying to be offensive, but making a sarcastic observation that it isn't exactly worthy of the "untrained" comment). To be fair here -- he never once touches a pitch fader. all he does is loop the last bar of a track pretty much. If the track is within 3 bpm any DJ worth his salt should be able to time that fairly well. If the tracks are the same bpm, it is even simpler. That's how he gets away with it. He plays stuff that is all roughly the exact same BPM (including when I've heard him). No offense to Steve, but what he really needs to do to earn any ounce of respect back in my opinion is lay off the booze. The last 2 times I've seen him, he was an utter mess because he drank WAY too much before his set. The second I told myself I'd never pay to see him again. If he doesn't respect the patrons of the club and do his job like a sensible person, then never mind that gig. |

| Originally posted by gerard6975 if you know the track by heart, or at least match the bpm first or as close as possible, have the channel at 25% at the most, cue it and listen to it for a few seconds through the monitors & pitch it til it matches up, you won't need headphones. there are times that i actually prefer cueing through the monitors because i can't hear it with my headphones. |

| Originally posted by omega1n Point taken, I'm very anal when it comes to perfect beat matching. I like to make sure everything is on point before bringing in the next track. By doing the process you do or Angelo does, I'd hate to hear beats that are off when bringing up the channel (even at 25%) because you have no idea if you pressed play at that right moment. What ever you hear in your monitors, it's twice as loud/noticeable on the house sound system. |
