    quick one,with the amount of live remixing technology etc im thinking is record choice getting lost as in(not knocking) effects and sampling and live remixing but just listening through some old dj sets where record plays full time rather than chopped up and remixed i mean its the records you want to listen to again not knocking technology as i use it myself,suppose its different for everone or a i just old school! any thoughts

    There are pros and cons to all the added technology. Some djs use an effects unit as a USP, James Zabelia springs to mind and Dave Clarke uses it a lot in his sets. For something like techno a bit of an effect on a repetitive track can sound great, similarly in a breaks track that Zabelia might play effects if done right can sound cool. Dj's who overuse effects can really ruin the track and the flow of the set IMO.
    Then you have someone like Sunil Sharp who just plays records and doesnt use effects at all, he still kills it every time.

    In summary, if done right and not overkill, effects can work, however some djs dont need them and can still destroy a dancefloor!
