Y'know, you'd think after all the money he's earned he could go get a fucking Brite Smile treatment.

Gotta look busy somehow! But seriously, sometimes there really isn't anything to do and when you got a bunch of people looking at you, you don't wanna look stupid. So it's either twist some knobs or strike a jesus pose

Only a crowd full of morons would think a DJ is stupid for not raping knobs the whole time.

If you want to be actively mixing in and out of a song you can rarely do it with trance. That's why I usually mix house and tech when I'm just practicing.

And man, nothing makes me more angry than someone pointing out a DJs energy level above everything else he's doing. As if that is the most important part!

Mixmag had a joke once about DJs who pretended to play every track through minute adjustments to the treble knob. It really is just to make them look busy, and is probably down to insecurity about what they're doing.

Or crouch down behind the decks and get a bump. Or 7.

The Hook videos remind me of Oakey a bit..

... and The Martinez Brothers, they have some obsessive relationship with the eq's.

Ever watch a dj that keeps fiddling with the mixer (or controller) even though they're not really doing anything? I never understood this. A track can only be EQ'ed so perfectly and then after that there's really no point in fucking with everything.

I'll see if I can find an example on youtube

hahahahaha. word.

Almost forgot about that one, lol

This was a great day/night!

It's just too amazing.

On a side note anyone know which remix of Krafty he's playing in the first video?

Posted by woscar on Jan-04-2009 03:38:

You beat me to it, lol. Just found those 2 Peter Hook videos on another forum.

At least on the one with the Red Bull booth, you can actually hear the treble being rammed up when he twists the knob. Sounds awful though.
However...he's playing a mixmag CD. Listen at the vocal that kicks in around the 0:15 mark...at 0:20 you can hear "MIXMAG!". What a fucking joke.

They'll grow out of it when they hit puberty.
