Joris Voorn on the future of DJing

[Igneous]

I agree with most of what you've said Darkmode.

The last gig I played at, in feb, there were no turntables in the building. I had to struggle through my set on the latest pioneer cd decks which I'd only used once before.

I think these days, people should just try to ignore the format that people are playing music on & just judge the music on what they hear. If it sounds phat then it doesn't matter how the DJ is doing it. The last couple of parties I've been to the best set have been on the 1s & 2s funnly enough though.

The only slight consern I have is the cost of being a current DJ these days. Your looking at a couple of grand at least to get a Macbook, the software & hardware just to get started in digital. I just can't afford to spend that much on a hobby.

You don`t need a macbook
A well set up pc will serve you just as well.
I`ve never had my set up crash and I`ve been playing live pa`s for years.
