    See a lot of DJ’s these days throwing out these pre recorded sets and touching the knobs like they’re actually making the music. Been watching your stuff and realise how talented you are and this is what proper djing is 👏🏻

      It could be you're seeing not djs but artists who are also djs and in their sets they don't dj like james hype which is great but that's not the point.. some artists are more of producers than DJ so they are just promoting their music album performing a mix that doesn't necessarily mean they are bad artists.. i hope you understand what's actually going on when you see a artist perform on festivals or clubs.. 👍

      ​@@AdornationMusicvery true, and it might seem that many other djs are only touching knobs but its a lot harder than we think.

    Been Djiing for many years now. Back then, there were no softwares... It was the beginning of them and we were bullying at them.
    Everything was about real time mixing and blending (with cd's and vinyls)... And playing music from different genres. All about for us, was and is for entertaining the crowd.
    And you my friend, got the entertainer's DNA. I like the way you work on these decks and manipulate them bro. You give meaning to all these knobs and faders that are forgotten from other djs.
    Crowd wants a DJ who interacts with them. Most DJs/Producers go on stage and they act like, someone said something sad to them. No dance to the rhythm, no energy from them. Just mixing two songs together.
    Its been a long time since I've seen a dj, doing proper djiing/entertaining.
    Bring back real Djiing. Greetings from Greece.

      Μπράβο ρε μάγκα, που μπορείς και του το αναγνωρίζεις...γιατί ως γνωστόν εμείς οι Έλληνες DJ's είμαστε πολύ κομπλεξικοί με αυτά τα θέματα... όχι ότι συγκρίνω κάποιον με τον James, αλλά πλέον όλοι πάνε για το μεροκάματο και όχι για να διασκεδάσουν τον κόσμο...

    I've been following your things from here and I've fallen more and more in love with your sound and your work! As I said in another video ... the world needs real djs... Djs that they literally mix and not only pass music like i sad before and another video... This is a Art! Here from Brazil you already have one more fan! I'll be playing as much as I can with your tracks and giving people out the good music! Congratulations!

    I used to DJ years ago and got so pissed off with these DJ's playing commercial radio edits and pressing play. I gave up. You've inspired me to come back and start working again, first set again is next Sat. Time to start again. Boom. Keep doing what you're doing. Fucking exceptional.
