georgeacasta2 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I like DJ's that seamlessly mix records and don't have a set agenda of records they intend on playing without taking the crowd into consideration. I dislike DJ's that emphasis how technical they are by taking 25 minutes to mix a record using all kinds of effects and knob turning blah blah blah To me that is not about the music. It's a "look at me", "look what I can do" approach to DJ'ing. Unless the DJ is a live PA I don't think this should be done. The musician makes the music, the DJ mixes the music, not vice versa.anways, that's my opinion on the matter. I'm curious what the rest of the board thinks.

eKiTeL Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I like a dj who can mix a variety of styles seemlessly to keep the mix interesting, I can also appreciate those who are able to stick very close to one specific style for hour after hour, that takes skill also to do it right, but it's kind of boring unless you're high on something....

erickamikaze Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I like a DJ and aClub that can just play quality nd good music no matter what genre or label you put on it. This is the biggest problem I have with clubs lately. There always needs to be a "laebl" put on everything. Why can't a DJ just play music that people will dance do and have fun with while still being technically gifted. But with this being said I think the DJ must be able to read the crowd and not have their own agenda..The best times I have had ain club have been I have heard a variety of music from one or two DJ's. I just think in Miami that most DJ's get stuck in playing just one genre and thats why when they travel they may not go over as good as they hope.

Orisha Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 a quality DJ goes without saying, but a DJ who is obviously enjoying themselves has a profound effect on the crowd..ie, Stryke, or James Zabiela... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eKiTeL Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 a dj should have mad technical skills, making something new out of old records, not just playing tracks, learning to beatmatch is just the start, though some dj's think that once they can do it that's all there is to it.... that said the most important thing however is track selection and programming, even without skills a well programmed set can be interesting, but the skills make all the difference between someone who's just playing good records and a real pro who knows how to put on memorable show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsheritage Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 I like DJs that go wikki-wikki, itchy-scratchy, stop the track and start it again from the top 10 times in a row, and then get on the mike and yell "Make some noooiiiiizzzeee" or "Where my dogz at" or maybe even "Shake your ass, bitches". Oh yeah, if there's a siren or some kind of big bell to ring, that is fresh, too!NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
