Joris Voorn on the future of DJing

[basslinejunkie]

So basicly your saying you can't take him seriously because he don't play as much Techno as he used to?

if that is the case that is being a bit narrowed minded

would you take him more seriously if he was playing more Techno?

basically yes. how can you take somebody seriously when they are following the money, rather than the love of what they do?

im not gona get into the minimal debate for the millionth time, but people like voorn,carrola etc used to make and play great techno,now they make and play sub standard shite.why? money.imo of course. whcih is fair enough, exploiting a new market,all got to earn a living etc.however that does mean i like the direction they have gone.

i dont think its money. i think its natural that after xy years you are changing your approach towards music, your preferences etc, people change, and so is their music

and i wouldnt really call everything joris plays house music, there's plenty of techno in his sets, only slower

besides, so much music out there is so hard to categorise and if its good i dont really feel the need to do it anyway, i'll rather spend my time enjoying it... its really bad/sad to be limited to only electronic music, or even one subgenre... imo limited people shouldnt be dj-ing anyway

ps. interesting how people were hating on richie when he said his computer does beatmatching for him, but not a single word when joris mentioned it hehe

I hear V-Tech are bringing out a laptop DJing system, now even the kids can get in on this wonderful world of "DJing".

I don't think its necessarily about money. Times change, and people move on.
