Its a strange thing when you suddenly realise the simple truth about something.
The fact of the matter is, I am bored with mixing! What I mean is, simply firing up the 1210's and spinning a few tracks just doesnt do it for me anymore. I think this is a trend that is also reflected in the current dance music scene. Consider a true talent in the scene today, such as Deadmou5, vs an old skool dj like Dougal or Vibes? The once, “studio only” production techniques are being utilised on the fly to bring dynamic, real time remixes to the clubs. This is something that really interests me, something I want to pursue further. MP3's are part of the equation, but so are real-time sequencers like ableton live, sample pads, real-time effects processors and a lot of time spent creating, dissecting and amassing lots of custom loops. Put all this together, and you have what the scene now desires, and what I personally want to give.
