micro23_99 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 -- Someone who loves music...ALL TYPES...not just house....-- Someone who can read the crowd, and know what they want...-- Someone who who can decide if something is good on his/her own...They don't have to wait til someone else plays it before they drop it.-- I especially like when a dj works well with his lights guy...When those two can be on the same page, some amazing stuff happens.-- Someone who loves to make people happy. What I mean is someone who is back there, not just for himself...but for the love of music and the love of us...WITHOUT US AND WITHOUT THE MUSIC, THERE WOULD BE NO SUCH THING AS A TALENTED DJ!!!*********************************************ONLY 16 DAYS AWAY TIL CPI...CAN'T WAIT TO HERE JASON DROP AUBREY ON THE CPI FAITHFUL...

You create a one night oblivion where nothing outside that room matters, all that matters is feeling the music and loving every second of it." --Another great wise man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torontotrance Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 micro23_99 had a valid point, without a decent crowd, decent soundsystem, decent lighting guy, you would not have a decent deejays. So true, sometimes in this hyped up world of superstar deejays we forget the other people.Peace------------------"No Sound System Is Safe"-Leftfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistednick Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Any body can mix two records together with a little practice. But that doesnt make you a dj. You need to know how to play a whole night from start to finish. Playing to the crowd, building the enegry the right way. Playing bomb after bomb is not the right way to do it. You here smaller local djs doing that. Thats there way of going off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
