heres a real fun article about (mainly) what deadmau5 thinks about the whole 'push play' deal.
Is Deadmau5 Right? The ?We All Hit Play? Debate | Learn How To DJ with Digital DJ Controllers and DJ Techniques | DJ TechTools
“we all hit play.
its no secret. when it comes to “live” performance of EDM… that’s about the most it seems you can do anyway. It’s not about performance art, its not about talent either (really its not) In fact, let me do you and the rest of the EDM world button pushers who fuckin hate me for telling you how it is, a favor and let you all know how it is.... my “skills” and other PRODUCERS skills shine where it needs to shine… in the goddamned studio, and on the fucking releases. thats what counts…”
somewhere along the line, producers got thrown into the same title as DJs. maybe DJ mag needs a new list for producers. but lets be serious, almost nobody cares about DJs, they only care about the producers and the songs they create.
