i just dont understand all this b/s from certain corners. to be honest it sounds like either jealousy at not catching the opertunity early enough or else anger at having spent so much on vinyl and then have others come along with their cheap files...

(that last comment not directed at u btw drudles)
Actually didn’t catch your set in the Vaults that night as I was over at the Surgeon (now he really USES Ableton to good effect) and Sims early in the night, and strolled down there later, but sure I was fallin round your gaf later on ;p

Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with the use of Ableton and think it’s an extremely powerful tool, I can just see where Conan was coming from when he said that (from the punters point of view, I'd expect) it can be harder for the DJ to connect with the crowd from behind a laptop and controller than behind the decks, I don't know why, it just can be.

But nonetheless, I'm a firmly believe that what comes out of the speakers is what matters, end of. I don't go to a gig to drool over the DJ or watch how cool he looks. I go to listen to good music, hopefully played well, and have a good time, and that is ALL that matters. Nuff said.
