do you DJ? what do you use? i think i might become a DJ, seems like a good way to force yourself to constantly listen to new music. |

i would imagine that watching the room is very important, otherwise u might aswell put on a playlist. |

seems like theres loads, every shit dance festival or club i go to has mediocre djs playing completely uninspired sets from lunchtime until dawn for days straight. only difference being the colour of their usb sticks. i think if i find a ridiculous niche i could make some beer money playing for the chin stroker crowd and debase myself in a slightly more palatable way |

Put on a night somewhere, i guess you'll have to promote it aswell which will be horrible, but it should be a laugh even if only 4 people turn up! |

I think there are niches that you could get into more easily than others, if you want to compromise your integrity - eg. Blue Note jazz nights, stuff like that. |

it's definitely a great way to keep updated with music. but it can also be a bit disappointing because people generally get off to straightforward 4/4 stuff and aren't very open for anything different. you can always throw some weirder, adventurous stuff in but it has to loosely fit the 4/4 frame. that's the simple way if you want to build up a night (unless you're in london). good side of that is there's plenty of very decent 4/4 music (very different to beatport charts) that gets totally overlooked by most djs, probably because it takes some effort to find it. but once you do, you can make straightforward sets pretty exciting and you will get nice response from people. once you get regulars with that, you can gradually break them in into less conventional dance music. you can always start a night with unconventional stuff of course. how that would work out depends a lot of the city you dj in though. in a city with strong electronic club scene that's obviously easier. it also depends ob club owners. some might be against straightforward stuff, but generally they're just interested in having a packed club, so one way or another you will have to somewhat compromise your selection to keep the people happy. also, once you get them dancing and they're spaced out, you can afford to play a lot of weird shit and they will love you for it hehe |
