Vegas about to be lit that weekend

And if no longer requires talent

With technology nowadays it really doesn't. Anybody can mash up presets and record or look at a waveform on a screen and match it with another waveform but it takes a love of the craft and a knowledge of music to truly go far with it.

In the age of YouTube and the Internet, young people are familiar with classics more than ever. Definitely more familiar with music before their time than you were at that age

It is so accessible now...that's what I like about it. That's why old music sold more than new music last year.

@1984 im with you two on this because I stay pointing out how bad a DJ is fukking up when I'm out with my crew.

But when you look in the crowd no one cares as long is the next song keeps the party up p

That's true. It depends on the type of audience you have. With DJing as long as you can keep the party jumping and people interested in what you're doing it doesn't matter. But I know what you're saying. In most club situations where it's just a random weekend night with a random Dj playing what's hot, it doesn't neccessarily matter cause the crowd isn't really there for the DJ. They are there to hang out, they are there to party and dance, listen to music, socialize, congregate, make business plans, stuff like that.

In the case for this event, Kylie Jenner is booked as the HEADLINER.

So, really, in that case, from a DJ background, to even be a headliner you have to be a:

A)Legendary DJ/producer/musical figure that's had 15-30 years experience in the game (Sasha, Digweed, Premier, Jermaine Dupri, Diplo, Tiesto, Timbaland, Kaskade, the list goes on)
B)The hottest thing at the moment musically (DJ Mustard, Hardwell, Zed's Dead, Dillon Francis, Disclosure)
C)Famous like Paris Hilton or Kylie Jenner

The difference between them is two groups have talent and a resume of music to go by for audiences to figure out their sounds, their styles, if they like what they do, if they are worth seeing, etc.

Paris Hilton and Kylie don't have any musical resume or body of work that can really be assesed on if they can rock a crowd or if they are even worth seeing. What would they play?


Atleast with all of the other names I mentioned, you know what to expect, their work is just a youtube click away, what does Kylie have musically that can even be judged like that?

I still trip out how "djs" dont even need a turntable anymore.

I personally got to have my hands on a platter of a turntable, a record, or a CDj. I have to have a mixer and headphones where I can listen to stuff before mixing and actual knobs and faders to work.

But yeah, all you need is a laptop, or an ipad, or iphone/droid now...it's kind of cool.

Mixmiester. I have 2 1200s, but for my family parties, I set up a nice mix with Mixmiester. Throw in some clips from movies and shyt too.

When dancing, yea. When kicking it in the backyard bbqing, no. A smooth transition makes the party jump.

damn straight!
Yeah, DJing is like a science, it's like you're tricking people into liking things they wouldn't like. Like a song they wouldn't like is that much doper and now becomes a favorite cause a DJ dropped the beat/bass kick snare at the right time at the end of the 4th signature after the chorus.

Seeing crowds go nuts over the music like that is lovely.

I've always been a fan of the 1200s. I like the 1210s more. People say there is no difference in those techs, but you can feel it. Like the 1210s have faster motors and torque.
