What keeps you being a DJ???

I know everyone has : Not payed, Bump slots, stolen records, bad sound, non-1200's, busted party, harassed by cops, shady promoters, etc..........

What keeps you in the game? Why do you DJ? What keeps the fire burning? Please be honest

Re: What keeps you being a DJ???

well in my short time I would say that its just hooking up a proper mix and dropping a track that you love that keeps me going...I'll get back to you in five years though

Re: What keeps you being a DJ???

to tell you the truth, dj-ing is the only thing that keeps me sane. i can take all my emotions and focus them into music, whether they be emotions of happiness or even anger. the music reflects how i feel. it is life, some people have sports, i have dj-ing. the ultimate release is scratching for a couple hours.... ahhh, the life of the dj.

Re: What keeps you being a DJ???

The love of music....

The energy it creates....

The fact that I am capable of bringing people together to dance and forget about all thier worries....!

I really want to do this full time, create music and play it for people, that would be the most fulfilling....I havn't gotten there yet sssooo I wont stop till I get there...

That immediate feeling you get from the sound of the needle riding the grooves of a new cut you just got, and thinking:
"Now, what should I do with this."

Re: What keeps you being a DJ???

Curiosity = I am always so curious who is going to play what, and if its a new track that I havent heard. Then I am just itching to see what new methods or sounds the producer is using! So truth be known, I love it and it consumes my every thought.

Re: What keeps you being a DJ???

I've only done house parties but the thing that wants me to contintue to do this and not ever stop would have to be the manipulation of the crowds reaction. You become in almost everybody's mind. I'm more serious than ever in this game.

Re: What keeps you being a DJ???

The music, mainly.. the fact that music is akin to pieces in a puzzle and djing is making the pieces fit to complete the picture, which never fully happens by way of the different and challenging ways of completing a set and remaining inspired by new music.
The crowd and pleasing the people is another reason, I love nothing more than watching people enjoy themselves to something I fully believe in.
Then the camaraderie with other djs and sharing the passion for what we do, being inspired by other good djs - lastly, the moneda.. thats the bonus, getting paid for what you love to do. With the combination of things I mentioned above, how can I not "stay in the game"
