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.

What a ridiculous thing to say. You look at a laptop screen just as you would look at a record whilst altering it's pitch. Are you saying a DJ should never look down at the turntables either?

The DJ not acting like he's a fucking god might help as a first step in getting rid of fucking DJ worshipping.

LOL.

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?
