Before digitization, mixing records was a technical discipline as difficult to master as learning chord progressions. Today, modern DJs walk into venues carrying nothing more than a USB stick, on which they keep an almost unlimited selection of music. Using modern programmes on computers will automatically put DJs’ music in sync and save them for beat-matching. DJing at its simplest form is more than just mixing records. Few DJs yearn for the days of ones-and-twos; the ease, possibilities, and achievements of modern technology are too appealing.
