Australia’s biggest selling tabloid, the Herald Sun, have conducted an intriguing video interview with DJ heavy weight Carl Cox.

The British jock who was last year voted Mixmag’s number 1 DJ of the past 25 years, took time to talk through his current set-up (based around Traktor Scratch Pro) and the reasons behind his transition to the all-digital platform.

“We are in a new era of performers now with technology no-one can ignore,” he says.

“We have to try and make it work for us, not the other way around. Machines will not take over. But, for me, it’s about enhancing what I do as a DJ and producer.”

Although the interview is little more than introduction to the principals behind the technology, it is nonetheless interesting to hear a seasoned pro’s views on the topic.
