知名英國藝人Mat Zo日前在自己的推特上爆料,自己近期所有的Podcast都是找槍手代錄的。他對這種狀況感到很糟糕,也覺得欺騙讓他感到失落。於是決定上網坦白,將這件事情公諸於世。
Ive had a few of my radio shows ghost mixed, and I feel disconnected and lost. How do people with ghost producers not kill themselves?

In fact, all my radio mixes for the last few months have been ghost mixed. First by @jonobir and more recently by @matanYe_West

根據Mat Zo的推特提到,事實上很多DJ都找槍手代錄表演。當然並非「全部」,但比例之高恐怕在揭露以後會戳破大家的美夢。在行業中相對之下,真槍實彈親自下海是罕見而可貴的。
Sorry to burst your bubbles, but all your favourite DJs' radio shows are ghost mixed

Unless its a live set in which case its me

Obviously not ALL your favourite radio shows are ghost mixed, but a shit ton of them are. Its seen as very rare and noble to mix your own

如同我們先前翻譯的「EDM工業不想讓你知道的槍手文化」提到,槍手已經是行業老問題。最近攻榜呼聲極高的Martin Garrix就承認,自己以前也當過一段時間槍手。也許在責備這種狀況以前,我們也應該想清楚對於 DJ/ Producer/ Super Star 的期望到底是什麼。各位蟲友如何看待這件事情呢?
