[quote]On the packed dance floor, clubbers are moving to the music, obviously appreciating the DJ's selection.

But look a little closer at this London club and you will notice that, instead of turntables and endless sleeves of vinyl, the music playing out of the speakers is sourced from an iPod.

After three songs, the DJ steps down.

A number projected on the wall indicates it is time for another person to have a go with their MP3 player.

Welcome to No Wax -- the UK's first MP3Jing evenings, where ordinary punters get the chance to publicly show off the music stored inside their MP3 players.

The first No Wax evening -- wax being a colloquial word for vinyl record; and a play on British trip-hop label Mo Wax -- was held in the middle of 2003.[/quote]

No thanks....

#323330Post 3 of 352004-12-21

I cant see that taking off, you just wouldnt get any flow to the music. Probably a place for the beer heads i think.

#323331Post 4 of 352004-12-21

Well, now there is kareoke for the DJ. :boring:

#323332Post 5 of 352004-12-21

yeah... wouldnt be for me, would just be silly when people like MJ got up on stage with his tiesto collection - everybody would leave :roll:

#323333Post 6 of 352004-12-21

its a nice idea but as said there would be no flow...people would start enjoying the music and then oops change..

#323675Post 32 of 352004-12-22

Richie Hawtin has actually been in talks/suggested to Apple to install some sort of pitch control on their Ipods. He has said that in the future all a DJ would need to do is show up to a gig with 2 Ipod's or Ipod like devices and play off of those.

It is the future.

#323677Post 33 of 352004-12-22

what sasha is doing is the future.

#323813Post 34 of 352004-12-22
