What Do You Call This?



Let me first clarify that I am in no way dissing what is being done here. In fact, I kinda think it's cool how you can use controllers to trigger songs and apply effects etc... But what do you call this? Does this pass as deejaying in 2013? Or, is it categorized better just as a live performance. Not that labeling it is all that important, but I'm just curious what people are calling this. Maybe I'm a little naive or I just don't get out that much anymore, but I'm just not sure how to classify this. Again, no diss is intended. I'm just trying to catch up with the times.

No different than using Serato and mixer effects,, Just pressing buttons on beat instead of releasing vinyl on beat. I'd say live performance if I had to classify it though
