Djing - Clear The Floor - Question

[Russ Vickers]

I was out last night relatively locally & I thought the balance of music played was brilliant, at times the dance floor thinned to records that might not be as familiar to some, but everybody just got on with it, no winging from anyone....tom me this is what nights should be about.

I think this sums up the differences here, i.e. what people think a DJ is.

To other people (me included) a DJ is somebody who is going to play tunes they have personally chosen and believe will get people dancing. It might not always work but it is their personality and choice of tunes that make the set and the DJ and what makes people turn up to hear them play a set - they wouldn't really know exactly what they were going to get until they listened and that is the attraction.

A D.J’s identity! — Well put that man.

All the best,

EVERYONE loved oldies night at Wigan . Fact

I preferred it to the normal night by the end but that was over thirty years ago. I've been on the scene all that time and if I'd just kept listening to those oldies I'd be in a nut house by now.

Some time during those thirty years a DJ has played a record that nobody has heard before and cleared the floor, but then stuck with it and it is now one of the oldies that is being danced to today.

my point was that the young lad is dedicated , sincere , knows his stuff but he is poor , the rich lad can become a dj with the click of his fingers but does that make him a better budding dj ? ?
