Earliner this week, Cure And The Cause, a Los Angeles nightclub, banned laptops from their DJ booth. The owner of this club feels technological advancements are detracting from the art of DJing.
“Learn the tools of the trade already,” club owner Kenny Summit wrote on his Facebook profile “Pioneer isn’t going anywhere any time soon, they are the industry standard…Keep your controller in your crib, don’t come to work with training wheels.”
Techno legends Richie Hawtin and Seth Troxler weighed in with their opinions, kindling a Twitter debate.
Most ridiculous rule ever!Stifling creativity by limiting an artists own personal approach is a step backwards. https://t.co/ppqSWDzK5O

Seth Troxler, however, disagreed with Richie – he replied to Richie’s tweet with multiple tweets:
@richiehawtin @Mixmag I have to say I like it rich too many kids out there who actually don’t know how to beat match. The hard I call it.

@richiehawtin @Mixmag the hard part is beat matching. Even a lot of guys in our class.If the sync is on your an entertainer, not a dj.
