Great light show, but DJs are all just hype.
It's essentially two guys jumping around on stage playing pre-recorded dance tracks. There's no danger involved.
What's the point of paying to watch a show with no danger?
Heh, they should all just have a match to the death on stage while pre recording their sets. Their weapons should be old Vinyl records.
On a serious note. sure the act of Djing may have become easier, but DJ's are pretty much going the way of the Dodo. . .eventually they're going to just be producers who play their stuff on stage. Producing is infinitely harder than Djing on Vinyl ever would. Music theory, ear-training, production theory, is pretty damn difficult.

Amen to that, brother. As someone who spent years in musical training I was long suspicious of DJs who in my view just "played records". That's until I tried it myself and realized what it really was about - knowing music on a much deeper level than a mere listener ever will (and I don't mean it in a disparaging way but yeah, the DJ really must understand everything about music, and sound, and acoustics, and hardware, and... it adds up).
