What makes a DJ a Good DJ

I used to DJ for years, using Vinyl records (most of you probably don't know what that is now, LOL).
But there are a few good tips to be a good DJ, some but not all, were said.
First thing to remember is the crowd, who you are DJing for. A younger group, an older group, and
the occasion and the list can keep going on.
You have to look at the dancefloor, or the mood of the people. Don't start playing "jump up" songs
while people are eating, play something on the easy going side.
One thing though, about DJing, you should learn how to beat match. Meaning how to mix the songs
so there is no missing beat between the two songs. When you are switching between slow and fast songs,
it's OK to fade out and back in with the different one, being a different speed (ie. slow song english song to
dancehall reggae or soca). Hope this helps. And by the way, it's easy nowadays to beat match with software
on you computer, so it should be easier than spinning the records.

Take care

 

Im more for a dj that can read a crowd, set the vibe

 

Being versitile and not playing what you want to hear but what the crowd wants to hear. Being a good deejay is knowing how to keep the party going and the dance floor moving. Having all the songs is one thing to being a deejay, but knowing how and when to play it is key to being a good deejay.

 

When a dj nows his music by heart and plays with the audions

 

depends on the music you play and how is the public.
OLD OR young generation

 

There's no magic formula for this. Depends on the situation, kind of party, people, music etc...

 

Its all about understanding your crowd and always practice and DO NOT SYNC BEATS!!!

 

FIND UR OWN STYLE

 

Just check out what people like and anticipate

 

The problem with A LOT of DJ's is that they think they're there to entertain the people, but no one has told them that's NOT the case, you are there to provide the entertainment, the MUSIC is the STAR, NOT YOU... Find out before hand what kind of crowd is coming then give them what they want... Remember, it's not about you, it's about the people.

 

blending and mixing in songs and beats makes a good dj
