Dark Energy

Ha yeah I have seen that happen as well. I was DJ'ing along side this kid a couple of month back and he started double beating I went over to see what was up and he said he couldn't mix without having both tracks in the headphones and this particular mixing did not facilitate that function! I could not believe it, I see a lot of people going down the Traktor route these days as well, I have nothing ageist Traktor but I much prefer the CDJ's which will never replace vinyl. |Collecting rare and promo vinyl was just as much as a passion as DJ'ing for me (I imagine it was the same for you guys) think the best way for us DJ's to get noticed in this day and age is through our own productions, once again this market is saturated through piracy anybody can download cracked software and call themselves a producer, with the likes of Juno having quite poor quality control IMHO.

Great track Quadrant brings back some memories :-)

Do you think the hole dance scene has lost its passion? Nobody seems bothered anymore for example, a lot of DJ's I see these days just sit on a chair and put tunes on through their laptop (not interested), personally I would not want to be paid if I didn't make the hole club bounce! Back in the day of vinyl I remember going without food because I wanted to purchase rare tunes! It seems the crowd is not even that bothered about the DJ or the music getting played these days. I remember back in the late 90's early naughties where 1000's of clubbers travelled miles to clubs/events; these nights were total euphonic, everyone in unison, (Homelands, Creamfields, Love Parade, to name a few). I realise the music industry as a hole has changed (for the worse IMHO) where most music is stolen (piracy) and available from ubiquitous sources. It's harder for a DJ to stand out these days because of this (in respect to repertoire anyhow). What do people on here think and do you think the dance scene will ever recover?

That track is horrible!

My favourite three are Track It Down, Juno Download and Beatport
