If a scientist announced to the techno community that he had devised a new concept in electronic music using technology that nobody had used before, I think that most people would be dismissive of it. My first question was is it good DJing? The answer is no because DJing is not involved, but you tell me that it's incredibly difficult to do. I am not claiming to be a scientist! That's why he's got his Phd! I believe that he know's more about science than me! I'm more interested in music. Good tracks? Admittedly, the scientist is not claiming these tracks as his own. But he's cut up the piano break from Strings of Life! Does it sound better then the original!? Can anyone listen to it? Well, obviously you can listen to it in the comfort of your own living room, but to hear it in a club you have to get the scientist around because only he knows the technology.
If it sounds good then fine (I haven't listened to it and I have not dissed it) but the concept sounds suspect to me. You seem confident that these sort of innovations are part of the 'DJing' future, but it seems to me that creativity is not enhanced by technology (shock horror). My simple argument is by comparing the 60s (minimal technology) to today (almost unlimited technology). There are less astonishingly creative people around today.

If you think it's easy try to do it yourself. I think you'll think different after you tried to cut-n-paste so many track in one smooth track. Maybe this is the future of DJ-ing? Computers and HD-recording will become more and more a standard DJ tool. Someone just pointed me at the Final Scratch software, i also saw a documentary about DJ's in which Sven Vath also used a laptop for DJ-ing. I am not sure if this was also Final Scratch but i do know this WILL become a certain part of the DJ future. > Good tracks? - no he is 'improving' upon other people's tracks by > deconstructing them and putting them back together. Yes, true and that is why they call it a mix CD so everybody knows it is not his own music. > The result is one 90 min cut n paste track which nobody else > can play, nor > would anyone want to. Why can't you play it i know i have been doing it for the last week and i am enjoying it! > What's the point? What's the point? well it sounds nice!
