( now thats techno turntablism.....also christian varelea another it seems there more of these kinda djs abroad mabey we just lazy bastards in this country and want it easy play sum records on 2 decks or ya lap top or ya cdj`s wot ever is least effort collect ya cash **** off! lazyness its called. ;)
aye lazyness on some folk parts......an folk on here are always saying how techno is about pushing shit forward.....its not just the hardware and software shit that needs pushed.....i mean i could name a few djs thet havent progressed much in 5 yrs....ask yourselve this- have you? if not then start working on it, if yes....BIGUPS.

yup its just soo easy to just let the records do the work for you.....totally agree with ya ther.....id rather see folk useing the records as tools...

also- if umek is doing all this crazy stuff , how come when i saw him it was pretty standard stuff, with the odd cutter/transform fx thrown in..
is it the case that that theyll go for it in bedrooms etc but wont do it live?..if so, that needs looking into too......

id be interested to hear a umek set if he does this stuff cos ive a couple(not much) and i never spotted any of this going down......

i wish to be prooved wrong.....i so wanna be wrong......would luv to see it
