Have you seen this guy? I guess I don't pay attention to these things cos the way it always works is, I never hear of these people and then clearly they cross some threshold and they are EVERYWHERE and everyone knows everything about them - and has ALWAYS known.
Anyway, I often see it said variously that music isn't cool, or dance music isn't cool or djs aren't cool... and...
Gotta be a big part of why right? I mean once upon a time the DJ was some kind of mysterious half seen figure behind the decks. They didn't even seem real, but if somehow you could meet them and enter their world they would surely reveal to you shadowy secrets of some magical underground filled with people who were even more invisible and thus cool than them*. This guy - no offence to him (except for all the offensive stuff I'm saying) - is more like one of them announcers at a Pontins weekend except without their underground cred.
When I saw that clip above I really felt it was the final nail in some kind of coffin.
Or maybe I'm just old and wrong and he is, as one of the comments says "the most technical DJ in the world". He's clearly doing something right... you tell me.
*What's that film when he says "It's better to be friends with famous authors than to be a famous author"? I'm thinking on those lines here.
