Every single mix I have ever uploaded to this site has been built on mixmeister. Over time my mixing has progressed significantly, but I would never call myself a DJ, as I IMHO believe you should have a live aspect to your skillset to use that id.

As for using decks or cd mixers, when I wanted to try my hand I couldn't afford the cost of buying the gear as I was spending every penny I had on buying the cost of living and the pursuit of dance vinyl and cds. Over the years I had had many thousands of plays by many thousands of people, I have my own website and I have a small following of listeners who enjoy what I do.

Don't mock or look down on those who use software, I spend an age preparing mixes for listeners, my chillout mixes alone take ages of editing and rebuilding to get to the stage where I think they work as a whole.

There is a skill in knowing what to play and when to play it be it on decks, on software, live or in the studio. I for one am thankful that software options exist as they offer people the chance to have a go at something that for many was off limits.

Here's just one example of a mix built on mixmeister: Infinity
