I wanna kick him in the crotch for the way he is jumping around and DJing, I don't give two shits whether it's pre-recorded or not.

I honestly cant believe there are people in this thread trying to justify playing a pre-recorded mix

Seriously.... I'm embarrassed to be from the same country as you with a bullshit statement like this that demonstrates a total lack of understanding and appreciation for the hard work a real DJ puts in.

Shame on you!

exactly. if u want to play a prerecorded set, then u dont deserve to be on the stage playing in the first place. whats the point of it if i can do the same thing in my car?

if it doesnt take a genius to beatmatch, then why doesnt he do so?

You can't call it DJing then, thats the problem.

if u go to see someone play live, ie: pvd, u expect them to mix live... i for one would never pay to go see someone live if i knew they were playing a pre-recorded set.

takes the piss

If I want to listen to a pre-recorded mix I will stay home...

I must admit I loved the "smash my head into the wall" EQ move.

my point is that really it aint that bigger deal to hear how the dj mixes. i mean ableton mixers dont even beatmatch! i wouldnt know how to fake a mix well. id find it easier to just do the mix. but what if his ears are packing in and he cant mix in loud places anymore? should a dj stop playing awsome tunes?

But he's not even deciding at the time which tunes to play! How can he read the crowd and decide which tune will be best to play next when the whole mix is prerecorded!

Pre-pitching or Ableton is one thing, it removes the beatmatching, but beatmatching is purely technical, it still allows you to choose which record should be next, which is the most important part of DJing. Playing an entirely premixed set though he cant even choose which tune is next, he's completely removed any need for the slightest amount of skill whatsoever. And all that prancing around pretending to mix? He might as well just press play on the CD then go and sit at the bar for the next hour...

He's making a complete mockery of everything it means to be a DJ...

100% the point. Not sure why some people are disagreeing with this.
