Spanish music agency WIP has announced their plans to ban the use of Traktor from future events. The drastic move has been a long time coming as they said, “we’re fed up with the general laziness shown by 99% of ‘artists’ that we’ve seen and heard playing Traktor.”
The statement was released via WIP’s Facebook page saying, “Nothing against Native Instruments and their software, which is great, innovative, and an amazing tool, as are pretty much all of NI products (love Komplete, and Maschine). The real issue is with ‘artists’ who swear they can play any format be it CD, vinyl, USB and or Traktor but whose Traktor sets are nothing but stale, bland and outright insulting to a paying crowd and promoter.”
The aim of this ban is to really sieve out poor performance and keep the DJ qualities at a high at future events. Do you think this is smart move, comment and let HTF know what you think …
