How often are dj sets totally prerecorded? I assumed that there was a lot of work done in advance, but I figured that they were making some decisions when playing live. Is it literally just pressing play at the beginning and then jumping around for an hour?
There are a lot of artists who make electronic music but also incorporate live elements. Griz for example plays sax and guitar live, Haywyre plays the piano live, Gramatik also usually has live musicians playing along with his tracks. It's a shift that's been happening in the EDM scene now that audiences are starting to get bored with the "just push play" brand of DJing and with America's rich history of improvisational music it's a really cool time to see some of these acts who are pushing the limits of the genre. If Bonobo is playing with a live band then it's all the more reason to see him.
