“We’re letting fake DJs take over our culture”
House and techno DJ/producer Guti has taken to social media to slam “fake DJs” playing “prerecorded sets."
The post is referring to a mysterious slew of inauthentic dance music acts in recent years who, according to Guti, have ghostwriters make their music and do “dance routines” to prerecorded sets.
The Instagram post reads: “Ghostwriter fake video DJs doing dance routines with prerecorded sets – it is all a joke and we are being silent and letting them take over our culture. Why [did] we normalise this? I would love to hear your thoughts.”
