Love the comments - especially this one:
"DJ-wise: I used to gig with a crate. It was heavy, the turntables were heavy. I suppose you could show up with a stick or a phone and plug it into the house system. But you instantly have less credibility. You look like a a random clubgoer.
A proper analog rig provides you with a stagecraft. A vinyl record and a pair of headphones is the universally accepted uniform of the DJ.
When everything is cloud, what will being a DJ look like then? Saying track names into your smartwatch and have them stream directly to a PA? You could do that from your house and watch the dancefloor from a webcam. Heck, the dancers could be at home too, mix their own drinks.
Being a fisherman is hard. You have to get a raincoat, squint at the horizon, steer your boat into cold waters. But then again, everyone understands your role and identity."
