Art Of DJing Revealed To Be Massive Scam Dreamt Up By Technics To Sell Turntables
It has sensationally been revealed today that the art of DJing is a massive scam that was dreamt up by turntable manufacturers as a way to offload unsellable turntables.
The conspiracy is believed to go all the way to the top of the DJing industry with companies like Technics, Pioneer and Native Instrument pulling the strings on the biggest lie told to dance music fans since Steve Aoki was declared a world class DJ.
“There’s actually no such thing as beatmatching, mixing, scratching or live sets,” claimed a source who insisted that accusations launched at commercial DJs are just the tip of the iceberg and that all DJs are actually recruited for their willingness to perpetuate the lie that DJing is a thing worth lauding. “The powerful DJing equipment lobby just manufactured an entire lexicon around playing records to make it seem like it was a legitimate form of art when in fact it’s just a dude playing someone else’s music.”
The source claimed that all popular DJs are “in on it” and are paid handsomely to maintain the illusion that DJing is “both something difficult enough to warrant praise but easy enough that anyone can master it by simply buying the Technics or Native Instruments products”.
“Essentially Technics and other turntable companies began to feel that they’d eventually be obsolete so in order to remain relevant and to sell turntables they started popularising the myth of the DJ by pouring millions into promoting DJ culture throughout the world all so that they could keep selling turntables,” continued the whistle blower.
“All the tropes of DJing culture were manufactured as part of this huge marketing drive so that the big tech companies could sell out of date material that required less skill to master than traditional instruments,” continued the source who chose not to be named publicly. “They’re responsible for a massive propaganda drive that makes people like David Guetta and Avicii seem like heroes when in fact they’re nothing more than glorified Pioneer CDJ models.”
The source concluded that turntable manufacturers are also believed to be responsible for “circulating the myth that vinyl sounds better than other formats, the inclusion of the sync button and Afrojack’s entire career thus far”.
I Knew It….
propaganda….and I thought Obama was the master of the craft!
I’m still getting paid by one of those companies so I’m not willing to confirm this story.
Shhh Nathan. They’re make you disappear.
Oops! I just received that phone call Mark…
that isn’t true at all….. most real DJ’s are producers, and yes, they play other producer’s music, as well as their own, but are tweaking and remixing live on the spot as the track is playing. that’s a fact. vinyl also has a range not found in digital. even at a 320 bit rate, digital is a stream of sound pictures, like a cartoon.. wave is a continuous thread… there’s a difference between a true DJ, and a record Hopper.
This is wunderground it’s a joke
There’s always one dude that just doesn’t get it because they’re so busy trying to show everyone out there how much they know about a particular subject (or don’t know), all rolled up into one paragraph. It’s a joke dude. No one want’s to hear about what real dj’s do or don’t do. There is no stone tablet on these matters anyway.
Spot on!
what?
Try juggling and beat matching and call me in the morning.
Ok, I learned it yesterday, today I play DNB, House, Jungle, Trap and Dubstep. Now What do I do?
Get a real job? Haha
If you get really good at it, some day they might let you be king. http://i3.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article844193.ece/alternates/s615/The%20Prince%20of%20Wales,%20President,%20%20visited%20%20Yonge%20Street%20Mission%20and%20UforChange
“and Afrojack’s entire career” …. baahahahaha!! Nice wun, wunderground xo Love from a fan who recognises satire when they sees it
pffffft, Steve Aoki is a fucking master disc jockey. He practically invented deejaying while not being in the dj booth. No turntable propaganda campaign can fake white-raver-rafting while your songs magically transition for you. Beat THAT, David Guetta…
Let me see him battle Q-bert and learn something, you noob. Wiki has good production skills, but leave DJing to the qualified lol
here’s a guy who doesn’t understand jokes. everyone point and laugh.
April fools was last month. I’m no DJ, but I played around with the equipment and it’s hard as hell.
I agree….
Since I actually mix music (sometimes even my own productions, so thats a different story).
Most DJ’s just mix in multiple songs into one set.
Any person can do it if they know how the device works, and what “rythm” means and to use it to mix tunes in each other…
Tempo (BPM) is the most important one, scratching is just another area, but most DJ’s just mix tunes…
bullshit!!!! if there was no such thing as beatmatching….there wouldnt be a wrong way to do it…
the very last line made my day haha “…and Afrojack’s entire career thus far.” XD
