hnic99 Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 So what you are saying is that Oakenfold has not earned his price???? That makes a lot of sense considering you go to a club in the city or even jersey and you are going to pay 20-30 bucks for a frigging nobody when you compare him to a legend.No i wouldnt pay 50 bucks to hear him i think he is overrated in fact anyone who has to lay down his set before he plays definately doesnt play to a crowd and you can keep your Legend...thats not being a DJ....sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daillestmattyg Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 As a DJ I know a few years back it was unknown to use CD's even when the Denon decks were becoming very standard in clubs but now not only does it make life easier such technology like looping and hot cues are readily available esp. with the CDJ's which makes DJin more fun as well as allowing the DJ to create more of a buildup to the track. From talking to friends who spin hip-hop they rarely use cd's even when the pioneers are in the booth mainly because they been use to vinyl for so long they are accustomed to it and just like Klutch said the diggin for jams is what they look forward to....don't get it wrong most if not all big DJ's local or international involved in house usually dig for jams and buy their music as well then they use certain programs to rip them to MP3 but the fact of the matter is a DJ can do more with CD's and it beats alot of carrying an endless amount of vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellag Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Not sure why I kept reading this thread, but fortunately, djklutch made sense out of it (refer to his post). Clearly, technology is a huge factor and will continue to evolve, but when the majority buys into it, people start being replaced by machines. Imagine a club where the presence of a DJ is obsolete. NOTE: I may not be a DJ or an individual who even enjoys house music, however I wanted to share my opinion. Now I will wait for someone to either attack it or just let it be. For the RECORD, I think this thread has seen its day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binoys Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Wow that sucks.Oh and So does Roger Sanchez, Chus & Ceballos, Harry Choo Choo, Jorge Jaramilo And im sure a ton of other djs that travel. So much easier to travel with just a few cd books, and the things you can do on those pioneers are absolutely AMAZING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
