For many DJ’s nowadays playing a set in a club is relatively easy, when you think about years gone by and a DJ carrying a big bulky box full of vinyl and at the end of the set, carrying that box back to the car. Today things are very different, a DJ can literally walk into a club with a laptop and maybe a few CD’s, times have changed. I used to play very long sets years ago and at the end of the night, I really could not be bothered with all the lugging about, even though I still prefer to play vinyl, I am not getting any younger and vinyl is very heavy, especially if you are carrying a few hundred tunes. I am coming round to the technology available and it does make a lot of sense to move with the times, I have thousands of tracks stored on my hard drive and my trusty laptop is not as heavy as ten twelve inch singles. I have all that power at my fingertips and can literally mix the night away with total control. I suppose it is the old school veteran in me that sometimes wishes technology would slow down, but you can’t stop progress, I have to just go with the flow. I will admit that there are some fantastic pieces of DJ kit out there now and I have tried nearly all of them and I must say, they are not bad at all.

DJ equipment is moving in leaps and bounds and now there is a fantastic piece of kit on the market, called the Intimidation Touch DVS.
