hahaha i always thought that, maybe they are trying to use up all the space and keep it symmetrical?

tbh, most clubs i go to have the same setup, mixer in the middle, tables to the sides and cdjs above/just to the outside.

it's just coincidence. All the DJs they've booked so far have had well long arms.

surely its obvious? They are trying to keep the dj's healthy!

This profession has never been kind to the old figure, so by separating the decks, the dj's can enjoy a brisk walk between mixes to keep their bodies in tip top condition. It's genius.

The decks are eithe side of the mixer. Cant get closer then that im afraid. The cdj's are then next to the decks. This is tv so its important to remember this is visual. Would you rather the dj be hidden behind the cdj's? And even then there still not that far apart (it looks further on tv). As long as you can reach the mixer then thats perfect :wink: .

Big up.
