We caught up with top and legendary DJ’s to ask them about their thoughts on the influence technology is having on the DJ scene, is it a good or a bad thing?

With brands like Pioneer leading the way in creating accessible and solid entry-level music controllers and mixers, the barriers to entry for wanna-be DJs have been lowered so much that everyone knows someone who claims to be a DJ of sorts, even if it’s just because they own a dust-covered digital controller that they play with once a month.

House music Legend Brandon Block got his first residency back in 1988 so he’s seen the game change a lot, watch as he shows off his skills on the Pioneer Nexus/DJM kit and discusses the pros/cons of digital on the scene along with old skool supremo DJ Spoony and Kiss fm’s Logan Sama.

What are your opinions? Are CDJs and DJ apps killing the art or taking it forward?
