Would you go to a club to hear a DJ set if the DJ was DJing Remotely?

btw one of the best ''crowd readers'' i have seen from big name DJs is SVEN VATH..

I'm guessing you have not watched Richie Hawtin's Pioneers video then

I used to have to do some programming at work, I would say there is a large element of precision involved. You don't program things while the program is running. If you have already played a duff record your programming is shit. You won't hear me shouting 'hey Assimo you're going the wrong way' You know why? because he wasn't programmed to go the wrong way.

Total nonsense

Total nonsense is for you,but it's a daily life for most of the big name DJs..And the funny thing is when they are asked how they prepare themselves for particular night out the usual answer is that they don't do special preparations at all - ''some new music,some old and we will see how it goes''

btw one of the best ''crowd readers'' i have seen from the big name DJs is SVEN VATH..Hes not only great DJ technically and a funny entertainer with his show behind the turntables, but he feels the mood of the people in front of him and somehow is able to transmit his ''Gute laune'' craziness to everybody with his music..

I would have said 'making it up as you go along' would have been a more sutable term.

Isn't this so called programing the opposite of reading the crowd?

No, it's not.. Dude,we are actually saying the same thing in a different way .. If the people don't dance at the club - that's because the wrong music is playing and the DJ must change it.. OK, that's not skill, that's part of his job! So how this reflects on his programming? It's easy - if your crowd is up to more vocal stuff - you will play more vocals,if they are ready for more techno-ish sound - give it them BUT it's gotta be YOUR kind of vocals,YOUR kind of techno..So you basically will play what you planned before the night but in the way the crowd demands it =)

Total nonsense

a planned series of future events, items, or performances

synonyms: schedule, agenda, calendar, timetable

There is not any skill in what you are saying! You look out into the crowd, they are either dancing or they're not. If you're really bad they will walk.

Kind of like Armand Van Helden playing Hip Hop on the Terrace at Space.

Blatantly the DJ befores fault.

No. It was my mistake and i was lucky to be able to fix it. Imagine if i was playing remotely 2 hours of deep house as i was planning without to see the reactions of the people?! DISASTER!
Chunky, if you had a good time at the club with DJs that didn't care much about the reactions of the people there - that's ok but that doesn't speak well for those DJs!

EDIT : I will give you another example with a DJ you know i really like - Danny Tenaglia - his gig in Yalta in 2008 was brilliant - he played whatever he wanted but in the way he controlled the reactions on the dancefloor like i champ! His recent gig here at Yalta was way more standart - he played his stuff and the party was good but it can't compare to the 2008 gig at all..

Actually many times when you looked through the window the DJ would be sitting down.

I had some great nights a Turnmill's in London, at the Gallery, Elements, Release Yourself, Heavenly Social etc. you couldn't see the DJ playing there, unless you looked through a very small window in the door. It never really effected the night.
