What makes a great DJ?

Putting aside the format debates, it’s what comes out the speakers that truly counts and how it’s presented.

A good DJ can for that moment in time, unite the whole room with the feeling of love and unity.

It’s about reading the room, feeling the mood, watching and connecting with peoples emotions and expressions using your musical knowledge placing the right musical tool at the right time in order to direct everyone to a central place. Its that rush of adrenalin when you eventually feel you’ve made that central connection and then the journey begins focusing on observing those expressions, feelings and emotions along with the energy in the room that tells you when to take the musical journey in another direction to create an adventure/journey on the dance floor as they head into the unknown.

It’s the reason many of us go to a party or clubbing, a joint therapy session, a release from the hectic noisy world outside and for that short period of time to feel at peace and unity.

The format becomes irrelevant, most people have no clue what or how the DJ is playing, but feel the powerful connection once the DJ resonates with the dance floor via music as they get to work.

As many find out, it’s a lot harder than it seems.

It is a skill that takes years to learn.

Just set up my full DJ rig for the first time in 18 months and had a self ‘mini rave’ in my garage!!
It all still works!!
All set and ready for my first full gig back on 26th June, then I am fully booked up for every weekend in July and almost all August weekend dates booked as well! Many of these have contingency plans just in case to be covid secure which means by hook or by crook I am returning to regular weekend DJing from 26th June!! Cannot wait!!!
