Seriously? In year 2023 maybe... Hence that is why we have such awful music, and more or less DJs who just want monies and to be kings. The really good DJs, the ones who kept mixing for 20 years or more, don't follow this stupidity of a rule. They played what they liked and loved, and thru that, got the following they still have. But hei, do what you will, add to the list of "one song wonders", or in this case, a DJ known for doing a few festivals, then dissapeared.

@Sarcastic Fishy if you're going to see a DJ competition that's fine to show off your DJ skills. If I'm going to a rave, I'm looking for new music I've never heard not your mixing skills. Today's current music (which if you can't find good music that's on your tunnel vision and close mindedness) has nothing to do with DJ's and festivals. Wrong argument proposition.

I'll put it this simply, but you've already made up your mind on being closed off so I know I'm talking to a fucking wall, but here it anyways: Being technically proficient at DJing is the prerequisite for getting the job. Your song choices are what make you a great DJ. Anybody can learn to mix, but nobody has your ears.

@@aaronbazil Going to raves to hear new music? LOL, ok. There is a thing called Beatport, Juno, or various podcasts if you want to find new music. Raves are for dancing. Yes, you get to hear new music, but in majority, those are unreleased tracks from DJs/producers. But I guess that is why you see people in festivals that look like they missed the road at the intersection and ended up at the party. But hei, there are cameras, be sure to wave ;) To each their own, but the atmosphere at parties are far from what they used to be. I wonder why? As for today's music, big festivals and shi* playing there is what is the main reason and influence for new music being created (in majority). Since the explosion of big festivals (primarly in US), music quality went down, by a lot. I grew up with music and DJs in late 90, early 2000s. They were in different league compared to what you get today, and that is where I learned the art. And the most important thing- the music was much better. So were the DJs, either for their skills, or for doing their own thing, not going with the crowd, following cheers and money. It's the total opposite of what you get today. And that is just sad. Being technically proficient is what gets you the job? ROFL. You meant to say, computers and equipment does that? You got it wrong. Everyone, and their grandma can learn to mix on todays equipment, everyone and their grandma can download "beatport's top 10". But only a few can actually mix.

@Sarcastic Fishy So you agree with me lol you pretty much said what I said except for music in the 90s being better than today's. I agree with you on that for sure since that's how I grew up too. It's the foundation for today's stuff. But you can't tell me there's not a single artist today that you think is fucking unbelievable. There's no fucking way. And one more thing too I agree with you on: yeah sure the main festivals have normies, but that doesn't equate to crap. If you're just using EDC festival as an example of crap festivals, then maybe. But bro, even in those festivals there are artists you gotta admit are really fucking good. Even 90s & 2000s had good and bad artists. You can't be telling me every song in that time was a masterpiece. C'mon.

You really should watch more videosets of DJs, your mind would be blown.

I feel that djs that plan their sets see their sets shows what ever you want to call it as an extension of their music production.Which I prefer because if I’m going to a Rezz show I know what to expect…her style but if I went to a Rezz show and she played a mix of genres that isn’t close to her production I would be confused 😂 I respect that Luke is more of a DJ when he plays sets,its not easy from experience

No creativity at all. lol
