New Video Explores The Evolution of EDM and How Technology Has Changed the Role of DJs
Pioneer DJ has released a video that explores the evolution of electronic dance music and how technology has changed the role of DJs. It is the third and final part of a documentary series about the company’s history.
The sixteen-minute piece features commentary from veterans such as Laidback Luke, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez, DJ Shadow, Skream, and Paul Oakenfold.
Topics discussed include the early days of DJing, the transition from vinyl to digital, how rekordbox improved the CDJ experience, and the blurring of the lines between DJing and producing.
We also recommend checking out the first and second parts of the series, which look at the evolution of Pioneer’s CDJ line and its various mixers. Watch them here and here.
