The leading edge of the times is styling and mixing, and that’s what DJs do.
The fashion industry is no different. In the past, designers were at the top of their game and had many brands named after designers. Nowadays, stylists are at the top. Patricia Field styled Sex and the City with an inversion of the past and present through fashion. The same goes for DJs and trackmakers.
From a huddle of anime lovers in a NY hotel ballroom and 3000 audiences at a convention center to an avenue to the White House and in an embassy of Washington DC, it wouldn’t have been possible just for a gadgeteer to play on stage this way ten years ago. That’s why I always love novel technologies that bring us paradigm shifts.
