J. Rocc Mixing Live (Circa late 90's)



This is an absolutely priceless video of J. Rocc circa late 90's/early 2000's. Many of the blends in this set became the foundation for the Sex Machine Today mix. The more I watch old videos such as this one and compare it to some of the newer videos out, the more and more I think that a lot of soul has been lost in deejaying. Similar to the way you hear producers talk about how the lack of limitations that today's production technology brings has stifled creativity, I think a similar thing is going on with deejays. Even though deejays may be more technically sound today, something seems to be missing. I don't know if it's the lack of vinyl or what. But it just feels like a lot of deejays (myself included) have lost their soul.

Don't worry, PIpo... you've still got plenty of soul!

But your posting skills might need some attention. ;-) The YouTube link you posted is showing playlists instead of the J.Rocc video.
