Falling A New Way: Sandwell District on Dommune

[Olaf Quintessa]

New article about digital djing and Sandwell District on my Fresh Static blog, inspired by their appearance on Dommune in January.

 

"..there seemed to be a lot lost in translation when Sandwell District played on Dommune in January. They created a superb synthesis of old and new music, but didn’t build up much momentum along the way or sustain a mood – It was a bit of a mish-mash. However, both the successes and failures of Sandwell District epitomise another kind of digital revolution – the way digital and software tools have changed djing, the music djs have to play with, and even the way a dj set is perceived. The classical idea of the dj “taking the listener on a journey” has been abandoned, and new ways of djing have emerged."
