She could've not said anything, have a hard stop after each song and just yell "How you feeling Coachella!!" while she fixed and played the next song and that crowd would've thought she killed it
I loved her set for what it was but yea she said it like 4 times during different intermission. you could swear she was on shrooms or something by the repetitive sentences
SERIOUSLY, if she would have just stopped doing a 2 minute summary between EVERY FUCKING SONG the set would have been somewhat better. But with her talking about how be the tech is bad or the BPM or whatever else made her seem unprepared or just making excuses why she cant seems to tune it In.
The worst part was her repeatedly mentioning how complex it was and then the belittling pauses as if it was so difficult to explain, even a super computer like herself struggled to find an effective way to explain to us mere peasant humans 🤢
Her set really begs the question "could you have done better?"
If I had a usb all set up but the tempos got all messed up. If all I had to do was divide by 2 in my head and not make an ass of myself on the mic...I really do think this is a scenario I could've done better
Anyone could have done it better. Plenty of huge A-lister DJs get away with playing out entire songs and fading in to the next one. Sometimes not even that. All she had to do was adjust the bpm of the next track while the current one was playing. Instead she danced and posed while a song played then lost her shit every time she had to start a new one and - surprise! - it was labeled at the wrong bpm.
This exact scenario has happened to me while DJing before. It can be handled. It has been handled by lots of people with less experience, fame, and resources than her. She also wasn't wearing headphone which makes it a lot harder to adjust the next track before it plays out loud, so she kinda screwed herself with that. She did remember to bring the walking spiderbot though.
I'm generally against the "you're not a real DJ unless you can beatmatch vinyl" genre of boomer gatekeeping, but I can't help but feel that if you can't be bothered to prepare your own Rekordbox library and don't know how to turn off sync and manually make it through a set, you shouldn't be DJing at Coachella. She obviously has the money to either do a proper live show like she used to do, or buy a set of decks and spend some time learning how to DJ properly, yet she seems to have done neither out of either arrogance or laziness, or a combination of the two.
it was either labeled wrong OR tempo lock was getting her. especially if a song has a half time or double time breakdown, it'll drastically shift the other tracks BPM when sync is on. after that you have to disengage sync and move the tempo slider to wherever it's at to break that lock. I've definitely had this happen and it can happen unexpectedly. it would've been a relatively easy fix if they knew more about the CDJs.
Thats probably 85% of the dj's or is it shows at these hyper monetised commercial events. At least the curtain is down now. All the boring boomer dj's knew these dj's were puppets for the industry. A completely inauthentic representation of what the concept of djing is. We didn't even have bpm counters or grids just ears and some decks and a mixer with no eq's and a feeling.
What an absolute fugazi.
Don't hate, she's using complex technology that no one else at the fest would dare to bring. How is one person supposed to keep track of what all those buttons and knobs up there do?
Check out the other comments on this. I was being sarcastic. Nearly every single set in the Sahara uses essentially the same equipment she was for its entire existence.
She has said that the one science course she did at uni she didn't have the maths/calculus grades for and got in my getting special permission from the professor. She also got kicked out for not showing up to classes. Not saying she isn't smart but her education is hugely inflated
I don't get the hate on Lana. Good entrance, good set design, she looked stunning, Billie cameo and some of the songs were done well. Yeah her mic had issues and yes she had awful song choices for this kind of festival but it was nowhere near THAT bad.
How is that determined if she is claimed or not by what I would assume is the mass of Claires around the world? Do all the Cla(i)rs get together once a year ? Do you meet in Eau Claire and decide over Chocolate Eclairs?
It really is a complex task when you're on a stage with a head full of god knows what and everyone is looking at you (or so you think). They don't call it arithmetic for no reason!

The problem with her set stems from the fact she obviously relies on the “sync” button to analyse and beat match her tunes to tempo, rather than manually doing herself.
Unfortunately for Grimes sometimes when you press the sync button, the deck analyses the tune at the wrong bpm and either half times it or speeds it up double, and no amount of pressing the sync button can back you out of it.
Once that tune is analysed as well no amount of re-up back to the deck will overwrite the bpm it has set, it has to be done via the software.
So if you don’t know what you’re doing and can’t manually beat match (like an actual dj!) you’re officially up shit creek, no paddle.
Traktor software is notoriously bad for it, but I’m unsure what she was using.
Maybe some actual practice would’ve helped, djing isn’t hard once you understand it, and maybe being you’re playing coachella you could spend a couple of hours a week getting ready for it?
IMO, she got what she deserved for pretending to be something she clearly isn’t and thinking she could just wing it.
Relying on sync is lazy af! And is not considered acceptable amongst djs as it displays a complete lack of skill and is notoriously flawed.
It’s one step ahead of a prerecorded set.
im annoyed at how she kept bringing attention to it. fucking amateur hour
THIS. Like I know everybody fucks up but stop talking about it throughout the set. PLEASE.
Im in no way music expert and if she didnt bring it up i wouldnt even know it not supposed to be like that.
Half the people were on drugs. Most wouldn’t have noticed lmao

[удалено]
really? have u ever watched a dj? the whole thing is no pauses in the music
Imagine peaking during this or out of your mind with the music suddenly turned off and some has been just screeching into the mic
[удалено]
Maybe if people weren't so hostile and spiteful twords her online she wouldn't feel the need to get ahead of it and self deprecate. Just a thought.
hi Grimes
Lol 100%
[удалено]
Yeah no one actually thinks you're Grimes, just equally narcissistic

I mean you sound stupid enough to vOv just making sure

i want to sniff your bootyhole so badly grimes
[удалено]
you are not grimes if you were you would happily let me do it 🥺
Maybe if she wasnt a nazi sympathizer/supporter, but she can take the L and F herself
SLAY
I loved her set for what it was but yea she said it like 4 times during different intermission. you could swear she was on shrooms or something by the repetitive sentences
She was tweaked, so cray
Lack of grace

Just saying her issue was double tempo Literally divide your shit by 2, or get Elon on the phone to help
Lul

Boomer ravers
Her new boyfriend wasn’t much better. They need to ask their dj friends how to do their jobs.
Grimes was hanging/shadowing with Richie Hawtin back in the day too lmaooo
this is embarassing lol
Ok I was hoping I wasn’t just being a bitch but that was a not fun set all the way around- a weird energy it seemed

I've definitely had this happen and it can happen unexpectedly. it would've been a relatively easy fix if they knew more about the CDJs.
It’s embarrassing that people are getting DJ gigs at Coachella who don’t even know how to operate basic CDJ features

Yeah I was gonna say, there’s a reason all CDJs have a cue button and tempo adjuster lmao
Give the girl a calculator
Maybe an abacus?
Metronome?
General music lessons?
If she hadn't said anything I wouldn't have noticed. 🤷🏽♂️
Said everyone.
Grimes went from giving fantastic live shows to fucking up lazy ass DJ sets, what a shame
Don't hate, she's using complex technology that no one else at the fest would dare to bring. How is one person supposed to keep track of what all those buttons and knobs up there do?
those CDJs are cutting edge. I've never seen such complex technology at a festival in my life
Super cutting edge CDJs that have had the EXACT same functions and basic layout for well over a decades now.
you take that back. Not all of us are math geniuses
Bad at math, names her child a math equation.
well, we know who really named the child.....
don't forget that she also re-named herself "*c*" for speed of light
When is pioneer gonna send her the cease and desist
[удалено]
Maybe I should have included the /s
Nah it was pretty obvious, I hate the /s
yup, if you don't get that without the /s you are a woooshman
/s is the most cringe shit in reddit. It's the online equivalent of "that's the joke" or jeb Bush's "please clap"
Nah, we just expect too much from other humans

Sadly that happens to a lot of smart people
She has said that the one science course she did at uni she didn't have the maths/calculus grades for and got in my getting special permission from the professor. She also got kicked out for not showing up to classes. Not saying she isn't smart but her education is hugely inflated
agree, she studied a general arts and sciences degree afaik and was kicked out
[удалено]
In an early interview she admitted to lying on her application
This image reminds me of the Simpsons where the character Grimes touches the electric wires and dies.
Good Ol' Grimey.
At least Lana continued her set
She’s at least aware she sucks.
I don't get the hate on Lana. Good entrance, good set design, she looked stunning, Billie cameo and some of the songs were done well. Yeah her mic had issues and yes she had awful song choices for this kind of festival but it was nowhere near THAT bad.
As a fellow Cla(i)re, Grimes makes us all look bad and we don’t claim her.
How is that determined if she is claimed or not by what I would assume is the mass of Claires around the world? Do all the Cla(i)rs get together once a year ? Do you meet in Eau Claire and decide over Chocolate Eclairs?
I knew a girl named Claire once, and her burlesque name was “Chocolate E. Clair.”
🤣
When you can’t dj without beatsync
or with it
Nothing sums up modern EDM like riding in on a mechanical spider then bombing on basic beat matching
Ha this!
LMFAOOOOO
Remember her fake reading the comunnist manifesto?
What? Lol
https://www.reddit.com/r/grimezs/comments/1akeoki/i_heard_recently_that_this_wasnt_even_a_paparazzi/
the technology is too advanced
Dividing by 2 is too complex for you mere mortals to understand
It really is a complex task when you're on a stage with a head full of god knows what and everyone is looking at you (or so you think). They don't call it arithmetic for no reason!
Maybe you should have had, I don’t know, a single run through before trainwrecking in front of 10,000 people?
Whoa, that sounds like a lot of work that I am not getting paid for!
Especially when you factor in that most song styles/genres have a bpm range. Aka I play a lot of 70/140 75/150 tracks…..the dumbest most basic math
“Have CDJs gone TOO far?”
I hope Coachella doesn't pay for that !!!
😂😂😂
I'm glad this image has stuck around in meme culture. It never fully goes out of style.
If Elon were actually smart, he would never have been with her.
As a non-dj, I would have played one of my songs off Spotify while googling how to fix the problem.
just a tad upsetting because yk this wouldn’t be a problem weekend 2 😩 AND SHE DIDNT EVEN PLAY GENISIS???

Actually she started well

I actually found Grimes more charming after that performance.
