wait.. paul didn't revolutionize anything...

the article says sasha's gonna ditch everything but his computer.. doesn't say he's using finalscratch. sounds like he's going the gabriel and dresden route and doing everything on his laptop. i remember seeing josh gabriel "dj". i didn't once see him beatmatch anything, all he did was click something on his laptop and play with the eqs. i don't know about this. seems like anything that makes djing to easy starts to take the magic and charm out of it all. it ends up making for bland sets. now if sasha uses it to do things resembling live production and djing, then that might be really interesting...

i will bet he uses ableton live.......sick program my buddy does live pa with it and it sounds awesome.

I think it's weird that pvd now has accesss to more tracks than when he was carrying crates of vinyl around and he only plays the same tunes, over and over again. That's defeating the purpose of fs isn't it? paul if you're gonna just play the same shit just bring 20 records and play a few three times like he does...instead of bringing that laptop bringing all those tunes he won't play making them set it up

i don't look at tracklists......that's judging from times i've seen him...like central park, and february.......if i were lee i'd hand him a cd that when he puts it in it has audio that say "paul get your act together and stop charging an arm and a leg for admision"

sitting here in n seeing pvd atleast regulary every 2nd month, n thats without special events with him, it is INDEED easy to say that, however i can also see that it changed in 2004 a lil, hes getting his summer skills again i guess

from what i heard, last vandit night, paul played a lot of techy/hard stuff that mikey couldn't id, i dont know if thats true or not. But from the tracks that mike listed, they were quite different from the last vandit night.

from Central partk to November to February, he changed at least 75% of the tunes each time he played.

I don't have a problem with what he has played either. If you do, then I accept that and understand that. Paul has changed his ways a bit since 01.

true, the only reason i wasnt there was cauze sasha (special guest this night) wasnt that good in amsterdam@powerzone 2weeks before vandit night AND because of my money whole, however it was a mistake, a big one, cauze sasha played fluid dancable stuff, not one breaks two proggy, 2 breaks, one proggy n further like in amsterdam, and also paul was just in a badass mood n kicked the whole casino this night...

anyway i hope LP weekend will fix me feelings on this

let's just hope "summer skills" doesn't mean paul's gonna start playing like he did last summer: barely any tracklist variation from july all the way to october...

Dont expect a different tracklist from Paul, it will probably be almost identical to the set he played in Prague.

I was thinking the same thing....

yeah i think he'll be using ableton live. and i think his sets will be like involver, or at least he will try. no more beatmatching, but loads of other things for him to work with

josh uses ableton, i use the cdj 1000's. while i don't nessessarily get excited about the prospects of using a laptop to dj, i must say that things like ableton are moving this artform in a new direction, something that it sorely needs in order to grow and be taken more seriously. just because josh doesn't sit there and try every cunning variation of holding down a pitch control and keeping kick drums locked into place for a long time doesn't make him less of a dj. when he spins people dance and enjoy themselves. that's what djing is about.

as for the turntable, it was an awesome invention but sadly out of date, records are cumbersome, they wear out easily, are hard to store, heavy to lug through airports and simply not as versitile as the cdj-1000. i applaud the idea of being able to do more things with music in a dj booth, and eventually, i too will move over to ableton or something like it. i think in a genre of music that embraces the future as much as electronic music does, i find it ironic that many of it's biggest fans hinder its growth so much by fighting change and sticking to a format that's out of date that nobody except dj's uses.

the future is great. enjoy it!
