Are Dj Tools Killing Techno ?

[Mindful]

imagine if a hip hop dj played battle records back to back instead of scratching. it would be terrible. hip hop dj's seem to have a better grip on the difference between a battle record and a regular track than techno dj's do.

This may be true maybe but one of the fundemental parts of being a hip hop dj is digging around in old records lookin for that wicked 8 bar break to manualy loop and cut up where as techno is more about playing rythm and textures to create energy and atmosphere

way too many techno dj's are letting records play that simply don't stand on their own.

:clap: I couldnt agree more if your going to play somthing so minimal you have to make it intresting somehow unless your playing to a room with just me in it as i can listen to the same loop for ages i love the repitition and start to hear my own changes eventualy.
But in any other case please make it intresting.
