This is already sort of happening on turntable. The other night Sir Mix-A-Lot was DJing in one of the rooms.



So can a DJ on turntable actually DJ (e.g. transitions, mixes, effects etc)? If not, did Mix-A-Lot just put on cool songs in sequence or did he have a prerecorded mix or what? I mean for the regular facebook-crowd just putting on playlists for each other is cool, but what I was thinking was more focused towards people who enjoy live DJ sets. Alas, I have not been able to get into turntable.fm yet, so I have to ask :/


No transitions/mixes/effects, just picking cool songs and taking turns like everyone else. I could easily see turntable hosting solo DJ sets with transitions and everything (and charging admission). Definitely something I'd pay for.


Heh, the concept of online clubs (with real DJ, cover charge etc) intrigues me. I wonder if that is just crazy enough to work.
