So, Aphrodite played in Nottingham not so long ago, and I understand he played his whole set with pre-mixed vinyl.

That is, each vinyl was a dubplate with two tunes expertly mixed - so ultimately he was only doing every other mix, and sounding like he was pulling off some mighty manouvres. Oh, and each plate was cut at the same BPM.

... and I'm told this is apparently not uncommon with bigger name DJs.

This sounds shameful to me - especially when (some) people spend half their lives moaning about digital DJs and Ableton sets etc.

Surely this is the laziest of the lazy?
