Just the other day I said to my teenage son "There was some crappy pop video on last night with Robbie Savage in it".

"No Dad, that's David Guetta!"

Lol


That's some funny ****.


Real talent none of this pop ****. Some amazing producers about

Etherwood, London elektricity, logistics, high contrast, Danny byrd, metrik to name but a few.

Don't get me started on the pointlessness of David 'one tedious trick' Guetta... :pissed:


He cant even dj properly by all accounts, plays pre-recorded & pre-mixed sets, basically presses play and tweaks some eq

Danny Byrd is a living genius. I partial to a bit of Sub Focus and Chase & Status myself too.

Not forgetting demoscene legend Hoffman!

If it aint' done with two or more 1210's and slabs of vinyl it ain't DJ'ing IMNSHO.

Sticking a few tracks into Ableton and auto beat matching them is no talent at all.

Get off my lawn! lol

Whilst you can not beat the sound of vinyl , I think there is a place for digital djing,  either time coded vinyl or cd to using thinks like trakor.  There is room for building up sets on the fly with loops and samples.

Whilst I agree that taking the skill of beat matching, mixing etc out of djing is a no go,  to me a big part of it is picking the tunes and the performace.

Cant beat live Dnb with a live drums and instruments :)

You bet, I would love to make millions for using the same one bar sequence of 8 regular off beat notes on a loop throughout every song I've ever done!
 
I've just bought Logic Pro X now and it's actually really very nice (not much love for synth players, but enough to keep me going) :)

Who would be jealous of that silly french tit. his music is awful he has started working with pop bands, and for some un-known reason has become the poster boy for electronic music in America.
 
And He is not even close to being a decent talent in his sub genre of electronic music

He is? I thought it was that talentless Skrillex geezer who was America's poster boy?

I'm basing this on info acquired from my son, I'm just not cool enough to know who's cool and who isn't these days. :)


skrillex took dubstep from croydon made it sound like robots ****ing and took it back to america.

Do you know in america they call DnB fast dubstep lol
