Would you go to a club to hear a DJ set if the DJ was DJing Remotely?

Kind of like Armand Van Helden playing Hip Hop on the Terrace at Space.

There is not any skill in what you are saying! You look out into the crowd, they are either dancing or they're not. If you're really bad they will walk.

Isn't this so called programing the opposite of reading the crowd?

No, it's not.. Dude,we are actually saying the same thing in a different way .. If the people don't dance at the club - that's because the wrong music is playing and the DJ must change it.. OK, that's not skill, that's part of his job! So how this reflects on his programming? It's easy - if your crowd is up to more vocal stuff - you will play more vocals,if they are ready for more techno-ish sound - give it them BUT it's gotta be YOUR kind of vocals,YOUR kind of techno..So you basically will play what you planned before the night but in the way the crowd demands it =)

Total nonsense

a planned series of future events, items, or performances

synonyms: schedule, agenda, calendar, timetable

You know you're in trouble when people start getting the photos out?

I would have said 'making it up as you go along' would have been a more sutable term.

Total nonsense is for you,but it's a daily life for most of the big name DJs..And the funny thing is when they are asked how they prepare themselves for particular night out the usual answer is that they don't do special preparations at all - ''some new music,some old and we will see how it goes''

btw one of the best ''crowd readers'' i have seen from the big name DJs is SVEN VATH..Hes not only great DJ technically and a funny entertainer with his show behind the turntables, but he feels the mood of the people in front of him and somehow is able to transmit his ''Gute laune'' craziness to everybody with his music..

I used to have to do some programming at work, I would say there is a large element of precision involved. You don't program things while the program is running. If you have already played a duff record your programming is shit. You won't hear me shouting 'hey Assimo you're going the wrong way' You know why? because he wasn't programmed to go the wrong way.

Another example of why this isn't true; Sasha's PSK set compared to his gatecrasher summer soundsystem gig. One a private party for some hardened fans, another a big festival to a tent full of less appreciative crasher kiz (I know this I was there). Did he play any different? No he played the same tracks in the same order (give or take a track or two). Maybe Sasha is dyslectic.

We all know Sasha is a lazy fuck

Yeah but when he was good he was exceptional.

Actually I think I heard a surprising Sasha set recently, might've been from Extrema.
