I make music and also DJ. I will always put making music ahead of
DJing. Most people in the scenes we belong to think that the DJ is the one
behind the music(you can interpret that how you like). In the past two
years I have done over 50 PAs mostly Protoype 909 and have spun about the same.
As P909 we have done our best to show people the difference between making
the music 'live' and DJs. We have shed light on many people that this music
does not just come from record stores. Hopefully the future of electronic
music will lie with the artists showing there faces not just with the DJs
playing it.
This issue will be around for years. For years I wouldn't DJ because
of it but sometimes its easier just to bring a record bag than half a studio.
And most of us just want to get the music we love across to other people.
