CTW Members Mr Happy Posted February 14, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted February 14, 2004 how important is this as a DJ? personally i find DJs who play anthem after anthem a little tiresome. i like DJs that are willing to challenge the listeners (within reason mind). play something that peple might not expect or a record that hasnt been tried and tested before i personally think thats the marking or a true genious behind the decks, not someone who can beat match in 20 seconds, but someone who can tred the fine line between crowd pleasing and challenging repeatedly that is my personal quarrel with harddance. while there are some imagnative DJs out there, the vast majorety seem to be tidyboys or lashes wannabe's whats your thoughts?

BK, glazby and andy farly are incoperating a new techy sound 2 harddance. so what ur saying is you dont like either of them as they are different to the hardhouse norm?

CTW Members Phil rr Posted February 15, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted February 15, 2004 (edited) did a post once which went something like... 4 parts do being a dj ability to mix (use the equipment) ability to read the crowd (make the sound change during the set) ability to get the tunes imagination (doing something you're never gonna hear again, ever) what ur saying Mr H is probably a mixture of 2 and 3..? p'waps you could probably take the most famous dj's at the moment, and see how many of them do all those 4...you'd find out how important each thing is.
