I dance most of the time but when I'm with my wife and she has her camera, we film a few videos to throw on youtube too. We have fun with it.

Electronic Filming Music seems like a more accurate description of EDM at least here in the states.

DJ worship has been going on since the late '90s, probably even earlier in isolated instances. This is nothing new.

Well this is the same reason why people pay upwards of $100 to see big name DJ's (looking at you SHM) despite the fact that a local DJ can play as good of a set, if not a better one. IMO the majority of people who go to these expensive shows go primarily so that they can brag about having been there later, and how awesome so and so was. No one envies you when you tell them you saw a local DJ in a warehouse this past weekend.

I still don't understand how anyone willingly puts up with Aoki's shit. If I wanted to have a cake thrown at me I'd crash a wedding.

I think it'd be more likely that you crash a kid's birthday party who happens to have a trampoline and a pool with pool toys in their backyard

the design of the sound system is just made to sound better facing the booth. Well most of the time. People will use any point of reference and a big booth with someone doing something is a pretty good reference point to watch. Not to mention everyone else is looking that way.

I prefer going right down in front, then face the crowd. Plenty more entertainment in that direction,plus one can engage others in fist-pump shenanigans.

(assuming I'm not in a flailing kind of mood, if which I'll find a suitable corner and give'r)

i not gonna troll this time, i like to film the intros of big events, usually it's something you'd like to see once again, the lightshow, effects and so on, pretty impressive if you add a good atmosphere. after that i may take a few clips but i am not there to film a documentarty jesus.

Besides, if it's that good an event, you can always pick up the DVD documentary instead!

nah i like the feeling of homemade, and recall the show from the exact perspective as i experienced it. It just has sentimental purposes.

I know how pissing is for the dj to have someone back to the booth hahaha @MarkAnthony
