Beach Party + Rant

I just got back from the beach party. It wasn't what I expected, but it was still fun, free booze, plus I got a tan. The beach was nice until a there was a quick 30 min rain. While the party was postponed, we went to Mickey Ds.

There is no nice way to say that the DJs there sucked ass. After today, I'm quitting laptop DJing. The reason is for that is the people there that used laptops were absolutely terrible, yet they think they are so much better. Yea I saw you trainwreck, hard. There are too many noobs today that uses laptops that are just killing it for the legit laptop DJs such as Dubfire, Richie Hawtin, Sasha. One of the Dj was actually playing a pre-mixed set (your pre-mixed set sucked too) and adding effects on every 4 beat. What is the point? From my observation, only 10% laptop DJs actually take advantage of such set up. If you wanna know an example, you can look up how Richie Hawtin uses traktor. I learned djing on CDJs and I'm going back to my roots. I just wanna use both hands for all my future gigs. Buying a pair of CDJs is now my top priority. It was also really surprising to me that people in Hong Kong like top40 more. I thought America was behind, man these people really don't know whats up.
