RE: How do successful DJs control the dance floor?
Uhh, last step is not really that good. You need to be able to adapt to your audience. I wouldn't risk loosing them by doing exactly what I want.
- Was a professional trance DJ 1997-2003 Released Records, hundreds of gigs, vinyl only.
You wouldn't take risks as a DJ???
It would be riskier and a greater challenge to deviate from your planned set to attempt a crowd read. It's not about the DJ, it's about the room. I played 10,000 plus rooms on tech 12s and trust me, I took risks.
I understand your point of view mate, but your not telling me anything I don't know. Yes I too have played in front of thousands, it's irrelevant whether it's 20 people or 2000, You play for the people and for yourself 50/50.
My point is you don't fall into the trap of always giving into the crowds demands, but yet teasing them and giving them a taste before you give it to them. As I said in the blog I am not saying have a planned set which it states. Just build a music collection and take it from there
