When I DJ, I also play live. So it's a case of spinning tunes and running
sequences live via various pieces of MIDI gear. Now if that's so simple,
why ain't everyone doing it?
I respect good DJ's not because of their skills (I would say my skills are
comparable) but because of 'both' their skills and choice of records.
Also, more DJ's equals more diversity. Discuss
