Elektron Musical Instruments

Ok. I know that Erase can beatmix without problem.
 He chose not
 to. Why? This is my guess.
 Playing records from several genres, for non-dancing
 purposes. 

Ok, first of all: I don't want to insult Erase or you.
And I admit I can only comment based on this ONE
performance. But, it seemed to me most of is set was
electro (danceable stuff too), all at around the same
speed. Not impossible to mix, but that's just me. 
If he can beat mix and chose not to, that's his
mistake, specially when this is going around the world
for all to hear and is probably his only calling
cardto many people. What if I'm a promoter here in NY
looking to do an Elektron party and this set is the
ONLY thing I have of him? You think I'd pay him to fly
down here or would I pay instead for Zombie Nation's
kick ass set?

Bad mixing gets me in a fowl mood!!!!

I think you need BOTH.

Anyone can put records one after the other and if the
tunes are right people will enjoy the music. It does
not mean she/he is a "DJ". At least not a
proffessional one.
Again!!!! Much respect. He might really be a super Dj,
and was playing without monitors, or 1000 other
reasons. I certainly do not want to offend anybody,
but gave an opinion on what I heard (and is something
that bothers me, BAD Djing).
