This - 100%. I can't agree more. When you feel what you're doing, the audience should feel it also. That's what keeps me doing it now after 20+ years (when I don't really have to, in order to pay the bills anymore!). It's that moment, of a connection, and the spine tingling chill/buzz you get when you pull off a great mix in the moment and the audience feel it too.
- laumars 8y agoThat wasn't what I was arguing though. I was saying vinyl feels nicer because it's more tactile but the audience shouldn't be groping your record collection. Feeling the music (rather than touching the media) is a different matter. You can emotionally connect with the music being played regardless of the playback medium.
- PascLeRasc 8y agoI love watching Kaytranada's Boiler Room set for just that reason - the energy he's able to put out into the audience is so magical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5EQIiabJvk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5EQIiabJvk
