I have been asked the question “What is a good DJ” many times in the past. Almost instinctively I’ve resorted to: someone who can both program and mix music flawlessly, someone who is elegant and not overbearing on the microphone, or someone who puts in the investment and effort to provide the best sounding and looking equipment for their clients.
All of that I believe is valid in some capacity. However, the more I think about it, the answer is much more simple than that. A good DJ is someone who can make people who do not want to dance, dance.
Some crowds are easy, and some are hard. For the record Abby & David had and easy crowd, full dance floor all night with no gaps. However, some crowds aren’t as easy, they are more reluctant to dance and I feel as this is where a good DJ is defined. How they work with a flat crowd and adapt will give you the answer.
Tell me I’m wrong. idgaf
