At least he's moved on to CDs
The guy is hopeless at mixing, instead he just turns up the bass or cuts the treble on tracks.
Still a legend though and can entertain a crowd.
I think he uses Serato so he's moved on even further.

"Dance" music is shit. It's just 1980s Europop rebranded for the 21st Century Ibiza generation.
Now, House music (in it's various forms) on the other hand......
House is a feeling. For those that know & can make that distinction.

Talking of old timers, I think [MENTION=25123]SIMMO SAYS[/MENTION] was a dj in his yoof.
He went under the name of DJ Plumb
Glad that sparked some debate! ��
Think Tom Hark hit the nail on the head when he mentioned soul. I agree that, a tune might be considered.as techno, garage, house, deep house, Balearic or ambient, but it needs to have that soul & feeling.
I was lucky enough to ride the crest of the first wave, with acid house, no formulaic music, no real big name DJs. So perhaps I'm spoilt? But don't forget that this overlapped with the SAW domination. And, for me, there is a helluva lot of dance music that is reminiscent of the SAW formula.
Another good example is the recent focus on "Deep House", which I'd seen marketed as a new phenomenon. Again, it just felt like a few artists had unearthed some Larry Heard / Mr Fingers tracks and regurgitated them.
I'm laissez faire about life and each to their own, unless they step on people's toes. Same with music. Whatever pulls your chain I suppose. But it frustrates when there are DJs (who can actually mix) and producers who make incredible music but perhaps don't get the recognition they deserve. More importantly, there could be missed opportunities for people who may actually fall in love with other variations, but are constantly swamped by the proliferation of similar music.
With no arrogance intended, I count myself genuinely lucky to have been involved with the last major musical revolution since punk.
"More importantly, there could be missed opportunities for people who may actually fall in love with other variations, but are constantly swamped by the proliferation of similar music." - I hear what you're saying. I just hope that interest in one genre or sub-genre leads people down different paths, or encourages them to seek out other types, and sustains a longer and deeper interest in music. This has certainly been the case for me and my friends.
I think that the "art" of Djing in lost on 99% of people especially at a festival, people want to hear big tunes and see the DJ jumping around like a loon!!! Fatboy slim is a good Dj at this and if you see him play in a club he would play a different kind of set depending where he's playing. I believe there were other tents that had more underground vibes going on away from the main stage / main stream
Here imho is the real art of Djing ....the red bull freestyle mix contest all the technical stuff and the showmanship of big room Djing https://youtu.be/w222RTzokAM
