Dear Portfolio: No matter what Sarah “Ultragrrrl” Lewitinn tells you, “eschew[ing] the popular computer program Serato Scratch Live to manage [your] playlists and instead [using] CD players connected to a mixer” has jack shit to do with “greater discipline” being forced upon you. Not to begrudge anyone who can actually get away with charging $250 an hour to play “Come on Eileen” and “Billie Jean,” of course; I used to do something similar when I was seven years old by putting sticks in paper containers and attempting to sell the result as “firewood.” [Portfolio]

Wow, just when I’d completely forgotten about ol’ girl. And yeah, that nonsense about not using Serato is utter bullshit. I do think it’s hysterical that little miss ‘Next Big Thing’ is relegated to playing the same tired crap the rest of us ‘normal’ DJs are forced to spin in order to collect some $$$. Sheesh, what a maroon…
Christ, this inside-baseball NY hipster bullshit is so fucking old. Get over the hate.
Personally as a DJ, i think Serato is one of the biggest innovation to the art of DJ. For Club and Mobile DJ, it saves a lot of time and wear and tear of your records:however, i think just playing a playing a playlist and then getting your self a drink or so is totally wrong.
“a mix of songs, from George Michael’s “Freedom” to Bon Jovi’s “Living On a Prayer,”"
the whole from/to construction might not really be needed in this sentence.
@Audif Jackson Winters III: Andrea Chalupa IS a suspicious name.
Is this another article written by one of her pals?
