  It’s obvious that DJs present music to the fans who love listening to it differently today than they did in the past eras of DJing. Regardless of the environment, you most likely listen to your favorite jams by logging on to your social media accounts, and I can understand how that’s the preferable method. It’s fast and easy! But in doing so, you’re choosing to filter what’s intended as auditory information through your eyes first. This doesn’t mean you’re consuming the art of DJing the “wrong way”. It’s 2023 afterall and we experience life through our phones in these modern times. But people’s social media habits have influenced the main components that make a truly talented DJ. Zoom out of the social media matrix for a bit, and take a look at how much has really changed in how DJs have shared music over the years. Go back in time a few decades, to the 70s, 80s and 90s. The DJs from these eras who are now iconic figures like Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Jazzy ...

DJing with others has so many benefits. Whether you’re in a crew of battle, resident or streaming DJs, the brotherhood that comes with getting creative with other like minded people can have lasting impacts on your life! Share & Build Together We live in a time in the DJ scene where DJs tend to feel isolated because the principal way we communicate amongst each other is through our smartphones. But when you’re physically surrounded by other DJs, practicing is more fun because you get to SHARE & BUILD TOGETHER. Inspiration to be creative is heightened when you get to develop your ideas with the help from your peers. Community Collaborations with DJs who are at a similar age and skill level, leads to the evolution of COMMUNITY. Becoming a part of any music ...

  I prefer DJing indoors to outdoors 100% of the time. Especially as the weather gets colder. College GameDay Week 9 at the campus of Michigan State was a perfect reminder of why I feel this way. DJing in bad weather is tough on your gear and your hands. But when ESPN is depending on you to keep an audience of hundreds of people energized for 90 minutes you must adapt to Mother Nature. Here are my TOP 3 TIPS FOR DJing IN COLD WEATHER: 1) Get to the gig early and let your instruments acclimate to the temperature. Radical shifts in temperature (both up and down) can damage your equipment. So I recommend bringing the turntables, mixer, etc., in their cases, leaving them on stage IN their cases for a while, and then taking them out just before your set begins. 2) Wear a hoodie. A long sleeve shirt or sweater alone won’t cut it. Hoodies are perfect cause they have that center pocket you can easily slide your hands in to warm them up! 3) Hide your laptop if possible. I lucked out today c...
