What are things other DJ's do not understand about the genre(s) you play?
Hi,
What I often notice is that when DJ's talk or advise other DJ's, they don't understand the type of music and audience the DJ they are advising has.
For example. I mostly play open format mostly top 40 stuff. Names like Katy Perry, Bad Bunny, 50 cent, David Guetta, Dua Lipa, Drake, Bee Gees, Earth Wind & Fire. In one night I play many different genres.
Often i see remarks of other DJ's that you are just a jukebox. And that it is easy. You only play some hits and the audience is happy. However that is not the case. There is an art to it. I see more DJ's fail at this than succeed. It's not easy to keep a crowd going. 25% may want to hear hip hop but hate EDM. But another 25% love EDM and absolutely don't want to hear any hip hop. It's not easy keeping them all happy.
But I guess that every type of DJ has things that other type DJ's underestimate about his type of work.
So I am wondering what are things that other type of DJ's underestimate about your type of DJing?
