Welcome to the future, where DJs are kneecapped by the cloud libraries they have access to.<p>To be fair, though, this isn't even nearly as troubling as Beatport et al pushing cloud DJ music subscriptions. There is a whole new generation of "talent" whose literal stage performances are 100% reliant on a good internet connection -- I imagine anyone who has gigged professionally would be horrified!<p>To me one of the most important attributes of a DJ is their ability to curate and find music that I have never heard before from sources that are new to me. Essential to this is the care and feeding of your own personal music library, in CD/Vinyl/MP3/FLAC/some other unencumbered format. Curating spotify playlists just isn't the same, and serendipitously stumbling on a new track in some random playlist is not nearly as emotionally relevant as discovering some gem on a $2 secondhand whitelabel, or the CD bargain bin at the thrift store, for example. To say nothing of all the unimaginative troglodytes that are simply going to hit up the genre top 10 and add all that to their crates and think they're ready to go.<p>I shudder to think about what the future of the electronic music underground means with all these cloud zombies running around. These kids know there's no cell service out in the middle of the desert right???
