From Controllers to Turntables

#turntabletuesday

You look at the laptop and think it's not gonna fail you. But the truth of it is, nothing is more reliable than your own instinct. Your own instinct is the most reliable source of how to navigate through any situation. So the situation happens to be DJing. But there are instincts as a DJ that you could cultivate that will help you improve your DJ skills. The computer makes it so that we have this ability to travel with 1000 hours worth of music on this skinny little contraption called a laptop instead of lugging crates, and I appreciate that about technology. But at the same time, when it comes to DJing. The techniques that we're gonna focus on today were created by DJs like GrandWizzard Theodore, Grand Master Flash, Jazzy Jay, Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc before computers. So my point is, these skill sets have existed way before computers and there's nothing a computer could do help you truly learn and develop the way you need to if you want to DJ properly.
