“Throw away all this technology—throw everything away—because ultimately it is about taste. It’s about picking the right music and playing it in the right order”

Pete Tong

Great example of what a DJ should do: pick two tunes knowing that one goes well with the other, change the tempo on one or both to get the desired mood, play one then drop the next one in the right way, at the right time.

Sound obvious?

It fucking should be. This is what DJs did before “EDM”—i.e. before posing on instagram, doing product placement, and throwing cake at the crowd.
