since when is pete tong a laptop dj???
not sure if its old news or a repost but i just found this on his website and in all his gig pictures he's djing with a laptop, when did he make the switch?? and is he better?
This is the beginning of The Great Switch 
The purpose of the "dj" is completely lost when all you do is staring on those stupid laptops screens...and forgets that the crowd is the centre, the ones you should be looking at.

How are you supposed to mix if you cant look at the screen?
I mean, it applies to cd/turntable decks too...you still have to look at the platter/record in order to see what youre mixing and from where youre mixing/changing the pitch.
Just as Mikey said. Ya people gotta face up and realize that technology is shifting towards directions many people wouldnt have thought years back. People are going to much easier and more versatile equipment wether it be software or hardware.
Whatever lets you react and move the crowd better.
i thought he was deaf?

He's not better...he's actually far far worse. I thought he only used Ableton when doing his Essential Selection, but when I saw him in Ibiza he busted out the laptop. Not sure if it was just an off night for him or what, but I left after the first 15 mins. And I used to love Pete Tong so much

Why does the DJ need to even acknowledge anyone on the dancefloor?
I dont get entertainment from watching DJs, I get entertainment from the music they play. Who gives a shit how much time they spend with their head down concentrating? If the end result on the speakers is better...then I say excellent...

Laptops ftw!
It's begun!
Yeah i saw him here in a local club in June, he was using the laptops already. He wasn't bad imo

Come on guys as if Pete Tong is who you go see now a days for the most hip tunes
He's like a non-stop MoS mixed session, just fromage tune after fromage tune with the odd bomb tossed in that makes the place go nuts!
Don't get me wrong I love the guy as a personality and a DJ but he's not exactly a benchmark DJ anymore, ahahaha, he's just a huge icon!
Prolly fackin fun to party with though, and prolly annoys the shit out of some of the Djs he broadcasts live with for the EM, he always starts yelling in the middle of Seb Fontaine's breakdowns, LOL.
