One half of Australian Group, What So Not’s Emoh Instead spoke out on recent claims of DJs only hitting the play buttons on CDJs.

When faced with the question, “what would you say to Haters who contend that DJs and producers like yourself only get up on stage at those kinds of festivals to press play?”, Emoh quickly responded,

“So much of what you’re doing, even when you’re up there, is playing something you’ve composed: you’ve written the baseline, you’ve written the drums, you’ve written the leads, you’ve worked with the vocalist to write the song lyrically, you’ve worked on the sonics and engineering of everything. You’ve done all that and there’s so much more that goes into it. Some people, yeah, they might just be the face of a brand and just play CDs but that’s, you know, there are so many other thousands of people who aren’t doing that as well. And the difference you see in a DJ set of someone who knows what they’re doing and is doing some really complicated stuff as opposed to someone who is just playing a pre-recorded or pre-meditated set is a large variant. If you can’t see that, then you’re pretty narrow minded.”

Although the argument prevails for as long as DJing exists, Emoh’s statement may move readers to take a second look and remember the true skill involved in music production and DJing.
