Mistabishi faking it - Thoughts?

[feedingear]

Hey, don't know if any of you out there have been reading the threads for Mistabishi faking his dj sets - but I found the threads (pointless banter aside)and his responses to them to be quite interesting.

A quote from an earlier post of his re djing: " i just don't see the excessive merit in it that people like you obviously give to it. i've played vinyl only sets where i've had to beat match things. largely because i've been forced to. i've also played sets with nothing more than a single cd and spent the whole hour on the phone. on both occasions i played the records i make and they have the desired effect on those that dance to them"

And heres his apology thread - http://forum.breakbeat.co.uk/tm.aspx?m=1971705304


He has been caught out before and issued apologies etc a year ago, as well as doing it again in NZ recently.

Interested in what people think of seeing djs doing fake sets using 1 cd mixes/teases etc? Personally I feel its a complete rip for the promoter and punter alike financially and as a performance, as well as that a prerecorded set removes one of the best skills of a dj which is to read the crowd and adjust energy accordingly.

That said, I don't particuarly like his tunes either.
