Its Here! New system lets DJs play clubs without actually being there

You gotta try playing BINGO in a hall where the ball caller is another country, total intimacy. lol <--- my comment is supposed to be as dumb as the idea.

That shit is whack!!!

Well I quit playing clubs and bars as of the start of this year. The pay is horrible nowadays and continues to get worse. So I guess I am ahead of the game here. hahahah

I doubt any of my corporate event gigs will allow me to play remotely

Someone will pay to see it... just no-one intelligent. What an absolutely ridiculous idea. As if there weren't talented DJ's in abundance everywhere.

The EDM crowd then.....

I see the future now. A bleak, brightly lit, crowded warehouse where everyone wears "Second-life" virtual reality headsets and wifi-connected headphones to listen to a DJ halfway around the world amid a virtual audience. All alcohol to be given IV.

This is very similar to the "see live events at your theater while it's live elsewhere". To my knowledge that's not successful because people want to see a live show in front of them, not on a screen...

... but with this generation being glued to tablets and phones, it may be acceptable ten years from now.

what will dj's who play the same playlist week after week do?

you might be able to get a pay per view type thing, but you can just go online nowadays to find live feeds of famous djs for a house party.

When we start populating Mars or Venus in the near future, this will have to happen---a remote feed from earth. It will cost $1,000's to
send Tiesto to Mars and that my friend cuts into the profit margin.

Currently doing this remote feed from earth, city to city is low tech small potatoes bullsh*t. Welcome to the internet age, now go home and wear your Members Only jacket.

I did a blog on this and basically slammed it as being useless except to those who can just play a preplanned set and not have to have any crowd reading skills.

Maybe I am wrong. Doubt it though.
