99.99999% of DJs have been performing a premade mix since iPods have become popular. The knob twiddling DJs are hilarious. Ukraine, oddly, seems to be pumping out tons of attractive women dancing off beat behind setups that aren’t even powered on half the time on YouTube. I enjoy the mixes in the background while working and occasionally watch some footage for the laughs. Shake it if you’ve got it.

As always, it depends on what style you're talking about. For mainstream EDM? Sure I won't fight your figure. But for underground techno (among many others), you're delusional if you think the majority of djs play pre-recorded mixes.

So many absolutely ignorant people who are just dying to accelerate their degeneration into some sort of grumpy misogynist old man at a premature age in this comment section.

No. If you are in a serious electronic music scene, nobody is playing premade mixes off their ipods. All the clubs I go to only have just an upgraded version of the same CDJs that were being released in the early 2000s. We mix tracks we bought on sites like bandcamp and beatport on professional equipment. The crowd is educated and would throw someone out of the whole scene if they actually started playing a premade mix.

Those people who fake it make social media videos that go viral with people who spend their time online and have never been to a real rave or underground club (or who go to commercial EDM events - which are not representative of the booming underground) - nobody in the scene actually listens to that stuff and theres a lot of us. None of them would ever get booked at a serious event.

And, for the record, there is a boatload of very talented, super attractive female DJs in the scene and they DJ manually. Most of the vinyl only Djs that I've seen live were female and they weren't ugly either to make up for their femaleness. I know you think a woman can only be talented if she hides her distracting attractiveness.

Check your ignorance when you're clearly not in the loop of the scene.

I'm not going spend my time collating links to help you when you say it like that. They're not unicorns. Nobody in the techno scene plays pre recorded sets and women are no more liable to do it than men. I'm sorry that you're uninformed and sexist. Maybe change your attitude a bit and we can talk.
