The crux of this Coachella DJ scandal is Grimes & her defenders reduce DJing to hitting the SYNC button on your controller or app, then letting A.I. magically lock the tempo of two different songs. But DJing is an intuitive art form, not computer science! Machines lack intuition.
@NicholasCraven_ I’ve come to the conclusion that drumless beats are in fact an elevated form of production. Pulling out the drums is unconventional which draws the listener in anticipating them. The sample is under more scrutiny. It has to be dope. Not lazy.
@NixxStreetPoet@NicholasCraven_ Nah I mean the opposite- underground artists get the money, mainstream artists only get some and often very little of the money. Look at Spotify numbers it’s bananas. The Industry came back with a vengeance
