Monkey Safari and DJ Hanik

I still don’t quite understand how DJ’s are making it all over the world. I get that it’s what is sort of happening in the world of popular music and has been for quite a while in the grand scheme of things but seriously, it does baffle me a little bit. Monkey Safari is unfortunately one of those bands that today of all the days have come under fire to my opinion, which is just an opinion. Remixes are remixes; it’s sort of a glorified way of saying it’s a re arrangement of a cover or something or other. I don’t know, rant over, they hold the audience in the palms of their hands – that’s right, there are two of them messing with knobs pressing play. Is it the magic of keeping a four to the floor beat going for half an hour that works? Fading tracks in and out of each other seamlessly with a button that beat matches? I sort of understand how that could be pretty thrilling, but wow. ANYWAY. Monkey Safari like I said show off some of their fantastically crafted remixes that they evidently put a lot of time into in a studio, and I can appreciate the amount of work that has gone in to that so a huge fair play to them for this set that ultimately entertains this eager group of punters this afternoon.
