Which DJ skills are most important for you

[djshiva]

there's also the fact not everyone can beat match. one of the guy from orbital can't beat match and he's been trying for years!

don't want to sound sexist but female deejays are also not famous for beatmatching..

I know I am coming in on this one late, but...this comic always sums up the particular sexist stereotype you just dropped.



For the record, I don't trainwreck. Like, ever.

But I digress. I think beatmatching is essential if you want to keep the floor moving, but track selection is absolutely non negotiable. Shite tracks with tight mixing are still shite tracks.

its a combination of everything. although i really don't think crowd interaction is important whatsoever. i prefer to see a dj working hard

how many people here would enjoy an entire set of great tracks trainwrecked all night?

seriously?

some djs have bad nights, sure...some djs CAN'T DJ

i know it sounds sexist and like a stereotype.. and there are thousands of male deejays and just a few are technical great..
actually i just think there are less technical good female deejays cause female deejays themselves are already rare..

but can you name three technical good female deejays?? honestly i can't even name one who can mess with the male counterparts..

damn this definitely sounds sexist
