Liquid Sky nightclub in Berlin has joined the ranks of clubs that ban laptops and any number of other pieces of DJ gear. Usually, the club’s complaint lies in the idea that they just don’t have the room for DJs’ own personal equipment. Use the stuff they have or nothing at all is typically what they’ll tell DJs.

Because so many DJs are divided on which equipment is vital to a good set and which isn’t, clubs like this one end up with supporters and detractors. Some say that real DJs shouldn’t need all of that extra stuff anyway. Some say that there’s more than one way to DJ.

What do you think? Should a club dictate what equipment a DJ can or can’t bring along?
