Dumbing down of EDM?
/Interesting article from the Wall Street Journal (of all places) on the topic.
Am I supposed to dumb down to the idea that all I'm doing is pressing a button? - Carl Cox
I've been thinking about issue for quite a while now but have not come to any firm opinions (yet). But all I can say for now is that I believe technology has evolved to a point that it allows DJs to have the tools to create something truly special for their live shows (live mashups, visual/audio experience, etc). On the other hand the same technology can be used to fully pre-program a set. Is turntablism the only answer? I'm not fully convinced.
