Joris Voorn on the future of DJing

[davethedrummer]

you seen those radio sites that learn your musical taste? they're getting pretty good at it. in theory if you collect enough data to predict a club crowd... worryingly, you probably can program a computer to perform an alright set, selecting tunes and mixing by itself, in a few years. sorry to hijack but can you imagine going out to see a computer spin? i don't know whether to be scared or excited :lol:

like the "genius" on itunes you mean ?
unfortunately at the moment , because all my tracks are either promos or underground techno tracks
the old itunes "genius " still can't work out what the **** I am listening to.
every time I've tried it (for a laugh )
it's said something along the lines of: "sorry mate but if you started listening to PROPER music I could help you"

but I'm sure it won't be long before we can all upload our curret chart to the event website
and they can program an automatic "dj BOt" to mix it all for us

the worlds first automated rave?

the only thing is you don't have to pay the DJ
or put up with their shitty attitudes or drunken behaviour.

next step : get rid of the need to have people at the event at all.

i didnt even know itunes had one. there are ones that handle drum'n'bass pretty well at least. i'm a dj as well and am not crazy about robots taking over my job but arent you at least curious to see how good a computer can dj and if its potentially better then humans? i am.
