in all but the rarest of your occasions, is your opinion even needed anymore? |

Explain why DJs are relevant?
Also explain why your presence is needed any more. Aside from making some witless remark about "jews" or "blacks" or some sex disease you got , why are you here? Don't you have some lesson in English to blag your way through and some cheap cigarettes to smoke? |

Please explain to me, how in the name of god would you even get the absurd idea that DJs are somehow not relevant anymore? In the odd 40 or 50 years in which the club DJ has existed the music has changed, the clubs have changed, the culture has changed and the technology has changed but a skilled DJ and music selector will always be an integral part of a dance night. |

Here is a thought...
In all but the rarest of occasions is a DJ actually needed anymore? |
you need the human element. a computer can't read a crowd or tell a story with its track selection |

we are already suffering the lack of djs in our club nights. 10 years ago the guy on the booth could be a good dj or not but as a dj afterall. He had to select good vinyls , if he had vinyls he had tts in his house, or at least learnt how to use them in the club...
Now you have human jukeboxes, posers , bastards... not djs anymore.
The essence of a dj understood as a music lover that selects the best from the best and plays it to induce the crowd into a music journey with his peaks and breakdowns will never die. |

Lol, who the does that?
No one anymore. Or very, very few DJs do.
My comment was also mainly aimed at the commercial/top40 circuit which is just about everywhere, everyone has the same music, a PC could probably do a better job of play listing things based on the venue, crowd, etc. Text in selections and if it's not been played that night or isn't on some blacklist your tune gets played too. PC could prob mix better too.
For your super cereal underground story telling nights you can still hav your DJs. But really where are they? Either in deserted little doss holes or they are super huge festival type events, either way no one is telling a story or reading the crowd there.
Yes there are successful underground clubs about, but they are few and far between nowadays. |

I'm gonna side with the Lunar Phase 7 guy on this one. Since when is any DJ actually doing any of these things?
The art of the pure DJ is dead. Now all we got are producers and label whores caning their own/friend's/label's records and remixes. They're not there to tell you a story. They're only there to promote themselves: The Producer as rock band, live in concert DJing his pre-recorded productions. |
