Hey guys,

DJ Tiesto On The WMC 2010
I just found a killer interview that MTV did with DJ Tiesto. Tijs is preparing for this years WMC (Winter Music Conference) in Miami and tells you who to look out for this year.
Tiesto was the #1 ranked DJ in the world for years and now resides in the #3 spot. One of the best ways of discovering new music is to ask other DJs. In this video Tiesto talks about the DJs and dj bands that he is looking forward to seeing:

DJing Taken To Another Level: Booka Shade
The first time I saw these guys was in my home city of Vancouver. I got to hang with them (Walter and Arno) after their set and I was all over them like a fat kid on a smartie.
I was BLOWN away by their “DJ” performance so I wanted to learn everything I could. (The DJing tips and secrets they shared along with tons of other dj lessons can be found by clicking here to sign up for our DJ training newsletter now!)
Booka Shade have been changing what it means to be “DJs” for a while now. If fact they’re way more live performers than DJs playing on studio gear more than dj equipment.
But lessons from them can still be learned such as Stay Creative! Follow your own beat and it may take you to a stage in front of 100,000people at the Love Parade in Berlin!
So if the DJIng robots aren’t the future of DJing are live “DJ Bands” like Booka Shade the future?
DJ Robots… The Future of DJing?
When watching this video that I was sent by a new DJ names Katia that signed up for our video DJ Lessons newsletter… I couldn’t help but laugh because someone went to the trouble of designing a robot that could DJ and dance (its better at dancing lol) but the robots, despite being so technically advanced are playing on DJ turntables (technics 1200s). Whats up with that?… He should be rocking out on Ableton Live!
Seriously though this video raises the question. Is this the future of DJing? Will we ever see these types of DJ robots in the nighclubs and at raves? What do you think?
