WHAT MAKES A DEEJAY
BY SPHELELE 'DEEJAY HOLLYCROSS' BIYELA
Most djs were and are still not fortunate enough or
are financially stable to own djyng material which are up to standard.
Is it really about good equipment or its about how good of a dj you are? well i say its about how good you are, how well are you with the cdjs regardless of the brand. Most djs currently are very choosy of what cdj they play with but you find that even with cdjs like pioneer 1000 or 2000 still they don't give you a good mix. Personally i think for a dj not to have a hard time with any cdjs you have to be familiar with all sort of cdjs, if they have a poor pitch control.
Yes technology is here to make our life's easy but not to make us lazy. Djs today don't work as hard for pitch control coz technology has made things so much easy, Every dj who really knows how to play will tell you that the most important things for a dj to master are timing and sequence, once u master both of that you can be able you play with any kind of cdjs no matter how difficult they can be you will be able to play a good mix.
For me music is a passion and if you are passionate about something you always give a hundred percent regardless of the situation, i always say playing music for people is like you are a teacher and people you playing for are you students, that way you will not want to fail your students, its like you making a meal, when you cook
