Are you arguing for or against the defence?

Against, thats a stone cold party classic and 1st record I ever bought. I am no luddite. Press play to party.

All witnesses and defendants will be thoroughly pumped by Scruff in the debriefing room.

Really surprised he's not shown up and gone "as I do to yer missus every weekend!". Should we file a missing persons report?

yes and no

Well, I can understand that they're not everyones cup of tea, but to try and ban one form of music over any others seems a little pointless/ridiculous.

Anyone making music, whatever the instrument, be it drums, guitar, computer, or Homer and his sax-a-ma-fone should be aloud to play.

What's the difference really between a man on a computer pressing a button on and making sounds as a DJ compared to a man pressing a button on a trombone? They're both skillful, you need an ear for music for both and I couldn't possibly ever do either.

What part is a wind up and what isn't @Cooter?

My criteria is - As long as its live mixing. Whether its Vinyl, CDJ's, Traktor or Ableton - Im good to go with any DJ playing a set.

A pre programmed set. With the odd effect for good measure - no chance.

That doesn't just apply to Glastonbury headliners, thats any DJ playing anywhere.

Am sorry Lawn, but the skill is in knowing when to use the innuendo. You can't just go around throwing "I nobbed your missus" gags at every opportunity. Otherwise you end up in some shitty sexist 70s sitcom or Benny Hill sketch. Especially when the original post was obviously intended to set up the double entendre.

There's expertise in my art, you know.  

 

Plus in 24 hours I've now been dragged into two conversations in which I was taking no part and am not going to rise to the taunts. (no gags around me rising please). 

You did it (ahem) to me on Sunday, Scruff!

Can we stop discrediting people who make electronic music? They don't just push a button and out comes a song

In the creation of said music, no.  As a live performance?  Some do and just dial in a performance.

As a good example I saw The Allergies this summer - proper turntable mixing, scratching and sampling.  Proper bo I tell thee.

This. It takes alot of talent and skill to play a proper DJ set. You need to know how to beatmatch properly for starters, you need to know which songs work together and that's just scraping the surface of playing a DJ set on a normal pair of Pioneers. Vinyl DJ's are next level. Check out DJ's like Motor City Drum Ensemble and Move D and tell me that there isn't something else going on there other than just playing some tunes. They are both highly respected DJ's because they have an ear for what works in a DJ set and what doesn't and they can read crowds like no other DJ's I know of.
