Simian Mobile Disco start their North American tour today at SXSW. At least I got to see them perform when Lisa and I were in France. Their live show is incredible. James Ford and Jas Shaw rotate around a pillar of gear, noodling and knob twiddling as if they were in studio. It’s crazy so if they come to your town clear your calendar.

Do any Mobile DJ’s use real turntables anymore? Or just computers and some speakers? With all the new technology and software out now days, the art of beatmixing has lost some of its value. Much respect to all the DJ’s still doing it old school.
