    Grimes is everywhere, why the surprise ? It is all numbers now, even though it seems she cannot divide bpm’s in half (to think I almost watched her in a “Living with Technology” webcast with Hawtin and Beaumont-Thomas during a slow moment in the Pandemic), but numbers it is, stats over ability.
    DJ’ing has been so devalued by the mainstream venture capitalist takeover and narcissism that it feels what is called “Techno” by most is now a shit show of “Look at me” as opposed to listen and escape from the mundane backdrop of society and be in a community. - Dave Clarke

    • I know the feature of Rekordbox they're talking about... you can mix things at the same speed or for instance match a 90 bpm track with a 180 bpm one.yuekit
    • And changing this literally just involves clicking a button to toggle between these things, I guess that was the part she couldn't figure out.yuekit
