As more and more DJs speak out against smartphone<\/a> use at shows, Chris Stussy<\/a> has defended it.<\/p>\n

Appearing on The Will Clarke Podcast <\/em>for a recent interview, the Dutch house music virtuoso addressed prevalent concerns in the global electronic music community about excessive smartphone usage in nightlife.<\/p>\n

“That’s just the new generation, they just want to capture a moment,” Stussy said. “But not just a moment\u2014they want to capture every moment that they feel like, ‘I was a part of this.'”<\/p>\n

Stussy drew comparisons to expensive sporting events, saying that if people are paying high prices for the occasion, they’ll likely want to film it.<\/p>\n

The DJ’s comments lock horns with anti-device sentiments made by many artists in 2024, like the influential Bob Sinclar, who recently took to social media to reprimand smartphone usage<\/a> in clubs after a particularly vexing event he called the “worst gig” of his career. Other prominent artists to lament the trend include Damian Lazarus<\/a>, James Hype and MEDUZA<\/a>, Barry Can’t Swim<\/a> and WAVEDASH<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ongoing debate illuminates the fine line we walk between capturing lasting memories and robbing ourselves of authentic experiences from behind a screen. A recent study<\/a> found that 55% of live music fans prioritize recording footage of a performance over being present in the moment.<\/p>\n
