"DJing is the greatest form of expression"

well where did this thread go wrong then eh?!

whats any of the above got to do with the title eh eh??

cheers for completely hijacking the thread lol

you forgot about me

there is a list as long as your arm m8.

some v good DJ's on this board, some shite ones also

Er...we'll have less of that please mate!

not aimed at anyone chief

very true indeed!

I know mate...just kidding!

I think I've heard that quote on that movie Scratch or something along those lines.

When it comes to turntablism then your getting to the point were "DJing is the greatest form of expression". Used properly the deck is as much of an instrument as a guitar or anything like that only far more flexible.

Theres a quality bit on that Scratch film where there are a few people who have guitar stalls at some music exhibition thing are whinging on about hows its not an instrument and its just a fad.

Would production not be a more pure form of expression? Look at Sasha's Airdrawndagger. Nothing to do with making money, all about expression.

Of course, when you start out and are looking for something to put you name on the map, I suppose you are somewhat more railroaded.

playing someone elses records in a different order isnt self expression....

produciton

course it is!

is that cos your not such a good DJ ?

well not really

surely just taking someone elses material and playing in an order you prefer/thinks works best isnt anywhere near as expressive as creating your own material...

well surely my own brand of breakbeat hard house is expressing something

just your lack of technical ability on the dex m8 if it's done well it has to be a form of expression. at the end of the day it's not hard...but not everyone can do it

yeah, i agree its a form of expression.. just i think anyway that creating your own material is more expressive

yeah that's why I do both
