Adding to Facerocker's post... It's a sad day when anyone considers putting Darude in the top 50 of the worlds DJs.
I played after him when I was in Sweden and I have to say that his set was complete Toilet, not to mention that he works on traktor (Not the FS version I hasten to add).
I said his set was toilet and he used traktor. Not his set was toilet because he used traktor.
But I have to say that he was cheating with the beat matching and let's face it, if you are going to be in the TOp 50 DJs in the world then you have to use more than just traktor to win my vote.
He actually looked as if he was sitting answering his e-mails all night with no interaction with the crowd and no emotion. To be honest if thats your idea of DJing, yes you are shit. And I think if you had seen his performance you would agree, as I'm sure, whatever methods you use to DJ you would have given a lot more than just sitting with a blank expression all night showing no interest.

Please tell me when did you play with me in Sweden... And be sure of what you say (I want an approximate date and a city) because I've djd in Sweden only once or twice if I remember correctly, I can dig it up. And when I last played live in Sweden Traktor was not even out yet.
I've never used Traktor live, I've only tried the demo version of it in the peace and quiet of my studio and you wouldn't know about it. I know several people who play and control digital media with either turntables or cd-players (FS/Traktor) or midi-controller (Ableton Live, for eg.) and I don't see anything wrong with that. Personally I prefer the CDJ1000s and Live.
Anyone who's seen me spin live or dj knows that "no interaction and no emotion" and "just sitting with a blank expression all night showing no interest" is not me... I have my quieter days but still I'd say that's a big load of crap what you just posted there. And by the way... I don't need help with beatmatching thank you very much. I know how to do that and I prepare for my sets, I know my tracks. Sure, I'm a touch off here and there, I've even wrecked a couple of times during the couple of hundred gigs I've played so I'd advice any wreck-police to have their wreck-notebooks ready when listening/seeing my set because *I just might do it again*.
By the way, what I learned from mucking around with the Traktor demo is that you don't need to use any of the beatmatching aids if you don't want to. And I find the loop and cue functions great. You can't do that kinda stuff with tts or even some of the pro cd-players.
I'm sure someone is gonna throw that "oooh, a dj defendining himself on t.a. w00t?" (or whatever, I don't know the "cool" lingo) line here again but I don't care. I just can't stand people making false claims. If my set didn't do it for you, well, go see someone else next time or something but get your facts straight before you come here and start talking shit about me (or anyone else).
