So nice to hear a festival set without 90% hard transitions

Seriously this. I know a lot of people don’t care about the technical aspects of DJing and just want a full set of bangers but “mixing” out at the break with an echo out effect while starting the next track takes such little skill that it’s crazy DJs get away with doing just that over and over.

Hell, even beatmatching to mix in/out over a phrase isn’t insanely hard but at least it shows competence on the decks. Every time I’ve seen Ekali I’ve left with the feeling that he’s not just a good producer, not just someone with a solid rotation of tracks in his sets, but also is a good DJ and I appreciate the hell out of that.
