SPECTOR SESSIONS ? THE ADVENTURES OF DJ SPECTOR
Over the past two years, many technological inroads have been made into giving the DJ the full power of the remix at his fingertips, live and ready to go. On this mix DJ Spector lets you hear all of them, all used at once and to devastating effect. Utilising the abilities of a couple of ?humble? CDJ1000s, a laptop running Ableton Live and the good old ?ones and twos?, this mix is a frenetic mash of an amazing fifty plus tunes in a miniscule one hour. The audiological equivalent of fitting a square block in the triangle hole of a child?s early learning centre! But here the DJ proves that, with the technology, anything is possible.
Hi-tech achievements aside, this mix really works. Traversing a huge number of genres with every deft mix, combining acapellas, on the spot edits, cuts and loops of music from the last 40 years into an audio collage of sounds and grooves sure to move anyone?s spirit and feet. You will be able to count the number of tunes you can hear in their original format on the fingers of one hand, due to the fact that the technical wizardry on display here, provides you with a soundscape of music so thick that brand new tracks are born out of the sum of their parts.
So what we have here is a mix of juxtaposed beauty, the use of technology is maximised but not to the extent that the enjoyment of music is sacrificed; the journey of the DJ to becoming a true live, technical performer is continued; and its destination is crossover heaven.
