The First Drop

Aurora Plants - The Second Flash

What does a DJ really need to do his job?
Strictly speaking, a traditional DJ needs nothing more than:
- two healthy hands, a clear head to lead the dancefloor musically innovatively, 
a USB stick, preferably loaded with 24-bit WAV files,
a good mixer, two good CDJ players with a USB slot 
and finally, play, pause and cue buttons.
That's all he needs to do his job.

What is described so simply here is somewhat different in reality.
Because real DJing also requires experience,
the art and skill of synchronising  two records.
Linking them in a logical sequence and mixing them cleverly.
This is the basis of the traditional DJ craft.
These are the factors that have always characterised us as DJs.
And I still enjoy them.

The challenge of concentrating again and again at every transition, synchronising the records,
continuing the set, observing the dancefloor and leading musically.
You can't predict where your set will take you.
Everything is left up to your instincts and the people on the dancefloor.
It's like you're writing a book every time and you yourself don't know how it starts and how it ends.
Yes, sometimes the transition isn't as smooth as it should be, but it's handmade.
That's how it's always been and that's how it should be.
Unfortunately, I belong to a dying generation with this attitude.

For some time now, Pioneer has been offering the CDJ 2000 and 3000 players, 
which make all this superfluous.
The Rekordbox system takes over DJing practically automatically.
This means that practically anyone can become a DJ overnight.
Simply read the manual, load Recordbox onto your PC and get started.

The DJ of the 21st century goes into his little room, selects his favourite tracks 
and loads them into the Recordbox programme on his PC and the DJ set is ready.
The whole thing is played on a USB stick, plugged into the CDJ player and Recordbox conjures 
up a nice smooth mix.
Forgot your headphones? No problem!
The CDJ has a solution for that too, so you have time for your stage performance.
Now you're ready for life as a DJ on the world's stages!

What for many is the fulfilment of a dream is increasingly becoming a nightmare for
traditional DJs.
For Pioneer, we DJs are no longer of interest.
We are a minority and the problems that this technology causes us on the players,
are no longer taken into consideration.
With every upgrade of the new players, these problems get a little bigger.

The WAV. is only displayed slowly or no longer correctly
The BPM times are inaccurate or are no longer displayed at all.
You can no longer fast-forward or rewind the track.
Even spinning, as in vinyl times, is the order of the day again.
If things go really badly, you're practically flying blind.
All you have is the remaining time display, nothing else.
But that's all you really need.

I've been prepared for all these problems over the past few years.
But on the Lalanda O.A., the CDJ 3000 had a new surprise in store for me.
It didn't keep playing the WAV, but simply went into a loop function.
It just doesn't get boring with these things.

So at the end of my set I would like to apologise for this mistake. 
But no matter what surprises Pioneer has in store for me - I won't give up!
I will remain who I am and even if I am the last of my craft here
A traditional DJ who practices his craft the way it should be practised.
I will never leave my work to a machine.

Be it Recordbox, Traktor or other programmes, they all turn a
DJ into just one.
One last humanoid remnant, a technology that only needs us for one thing.
To feed it with the music it is supposed to play.
In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before this DJ culture is taken over by an AI.
And it won't really bother anyone.
Cheers to Pioneer!
