Bigsoulman Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I normally give it welly with everything thrown in, you won't catch me standing still behind the decks Lenny Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Liljimmycrank Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Possibly the obvious choice but Soul Sam delivers all his records with an captivating enthusiasm. Great to see the DJ generating atmosphere themselves as much as the record does. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Beeks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I try and get out on the dance floor mid set at least once...even if it's only for a minute or so Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Matt Male Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) I like to watch the DJ and i like to watch the dancers. I don't think it's fair to expect all DJs to be Mr bloody Bojangles though. I'd rather hear a decent set than watch a maniac behind the decks making balloon animals between spins to entertain the dancers. We all have different personalities, although i do agree that standing behind the decks arms folded does look bad.

pikeys dog Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Russell Brown is the best DJ I've seen for getting stuck in behind the decks.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Beeks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 We all have different personalities, although arms folded does look bad. Never understand that...at the end of the day as a DJ you have bought those records yourself...so in your own eyes...everyone should be a winner...so how A DJ can NOT express his love of the records he plays...even if it's a smile and nodding of the head...is beyond me Besides...I genuinely believe if you are enthusiastic then it tends to rub off on the punters Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Theresa Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) 2 words: SEAN CHAPMAN! So true, Sean Chapman and also Warren Boogaloo are a joy to watch as they're just so into it. There are also a couple of DJs who shall remain nameless that I rather fancy and I'd happily pay to watch them stand there with their arms folded not even putting any records on. But then I think I've probably spent too long indoors with three under-fives... Edited December 12, 2008 by theresa Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest kev such Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Worse one is when a DJ puts a tune on and stands back with their hands in their pockets staring into space for the tunes duration. I tend to dance more when im djing, if the stage area is big enough. When we did the last Cracker, Smiggy put his last tune on and left the stage (i was on after him) and went and had a dance BRILLIANT. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
