to repeat what many people have said over the years but in a highly reduced form, people fall mostly into one of the two categories:

1. Cannot accept digital mixing cos it detracts from the technical skill and would flood the market with technically unskilled 'DJs' but who's mixes sound as good quality.

2. Want to sacrifice technical ability totally and want pure perfection in mixing allowing skilled 'eDJs' to relpace those vinyl spinning trogladites

a tad biased i know, you probably guessed i belong to the second camp

I think some people are confused about what exactly Sasha and others are doing behind the laptop. He isn�t just loading his mp3s and auto-beatmatching w/ a simple click. Ableton is a live sequencer. In other words it�s a live music-production system so he's actually creating new and interesting variations on songs. This is much more exciting to me than standard bpm mixing between tracks. Also this isn�t the same as someone pre-recording a CD of songs and just playing them.
I mean let�s be honest here. For years now we�ve heard the same old bpm matching between tracks; one fades out another comes in. Yet they're basically the same tracks we can stay at home and listen to. Something like ableton opens up many more possibilities. It reminds me of a live band in a way; the artist can come up w/ a unique and exciting track or variations of the track on the spot.

and in response to this quote ina previous post...

BT stopped live shows for a little while. He's been doing laptop symphonies for Godskitchen and stuff.

The more posts in a thread, the less likely yours is to get read.

Regardless: I don't care how they mix as long as it sounds good. This elitist stigma of 'Real' DJ's only using turntables is bull as far as I'm concerned. All I care about is what's coming outta the speakers.

I care when their computer crashes, and ruins a whole night I've been looking forward to! aka, DJ Sasha, November 20, 2004, Shanghai China. Def. could have been better.
