2009 was definitely the start of the “Digital Revolution.” Music has moved in the electronic direction. Top 40, pop, rock, hiphop, indie, dance, house, you name it! Every genre has taken in and adapted to fusing the electronic sound with its structure.
The guitar has always been the instrument you had to have.

Since the digital take over, DJ’ing has replaced the guitar as the new “IT” thing to do. Everyone wants to DJ! Specially since the birth of Serato, it has paved the way for djs everywhere to jump into the scene full speed.
