Authenticity!
Rockism!
Tits!
Some of the greatest pioneering DJs were playing stuff off reel-to-reels, doing their own edits, cassettes, drum machines, synths, samplers, effects. There is no such thing as purism in DJing, it just doesn't matter. It's a totally ARTicifial ARTform. Heck, music doesn't even exist, it's an illusion. And doubly so with DJ'd music. It's a recreation from multiple sources.
So, in some ways I agree with zhao, in others I don't.
The controversy is fun though, even if it's also totally artificial.
I liked the mix Martyn did for Skream's show ages ago.
