Hello Guys,

I love clubbing, love going out, partying having fun etc...
I've been wondering for the last couple weeks, what makes a DJ more talented than another?

I'm sure someone will help me answer this question :mrgreen:

We all get to a point where it is no question of talent but a question of money, reputation or relations.
Currently I got to this point and I can say that it is the saddest time since ages! 12 years ago I started djing with the intention to share a sound that makes people happy. Finally I realized that this is not the intention people expect and at this point it is time to pull the ripcord.

Cheers,

Steve

Hello djrobert,

This is a very interesting question you are asking, i can already tell you that there is no perfect answer, but i'll try and answer the best i can.

Here are a list of important points that would make a DJ more talented than another:
- His music and track selection
- His communicating skills, is the DJ a good communicator, does he put a lot of energy behind the decks, what makes him different?
- Working for and with the fans, does the DJ value his community, does he communicate to his fans and furthermore do the fans enjoy getting feedback from him?

I think these are three important points!

Agree with Boc, there should be a respect of sex, certain male DJ's are great, such as:
- Tiesto
- Dubfire
- Olivier Hunterman...

Some female DJ's are really great also, such as:
- Miss Kittin
- Magda...

Agree on what you said Daniel, Music should really come from heart, if it comes from the heart it will go to the ears of the clubbers and they will love it :)
