Kylie Jenner DJing in Vegas MDW

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Someone @ bruh. I forget his username

Y'all think people care about transitions?

When dancing, yea. When kicking it in the backyard bbqing, no. A smooth transition makes the party jump.

I'll be honest, if I was her, I'd just pay someone to prerecord a set and play it over the PA system through a phone/mp3 player/aux while mimicking actual dj movements on the CDjs.

going back to your post on this page, the EASIEST way to clear a room.. is to trainwreck/not transition correctly..

what kinda clubs this clown going to where the DJ cant match a beat..

@1984 im with you two on this because I stay pointing out how bad a DJ is fukking up when I'm out with my crew.

But when you look in the crowd no one cares as long is the next song keeps the party up p

Actually it does require much work now...more than ever. Since, like you said, everyone is a DJ, so everyone is fighting to get booked, get exposure, get press, get bigger and better gigs, etc.

Before the day of the internet DJs were revered as gatekeepers to music because not everyone had the knowledge of the music, the records, the skills, to capitalize off of so it was the few serving the many, now it's the many serving much more than that and anybody can go on mixesdb or beatport and find out which tracks a dj was using in their own set, so you have to work harder now to set yourself apart.

I was talking about this on twitter. The scene here in NYC really is more geared towards Djs playing others music than producers...simply because most of the people involved in the scene are terrible producers but better djs. If you want to get booked for better, you have to make your own tunes, it always has been this way. alot of these djs just make shyt techno tracks as bridges to carry other people's material which is much better than theirs.

In hip-hop it's different. Pop/Top 40 they want you to atleast have skills.

And honestly with all of these USB controllers and software that automatically beatmatches and has BPM counters, you really have to be a special kind of TERRIBLE to fukk those up.

I still trip out how "djs" dont even need a turntable anymore.

[fukkyalifestyle]

[Insun Park]

shes only 18 how much music can she even know

In the age of YouTube and the Internet, young people are familiar with classics more than ever. Definitely more familiar with music before their time than you were at that age

I could see that but we are talking about Kylie Jenner Kardashian

 

[BelieveBeOK]

If true, let that sexy little, bad-ass bytch make her money





It's not like anybody is forcing you to go

 

[BlackBall]

It's 2016 now.

No one is denying that DJing takes real skill

everyone is a DJ these days. You know why? Because it's easy money and doesn't require much work

And if no longer requires talent

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

xs gonna be lit on memorial week

 

[Black Magisterialness]

Not from the club goer perspective. People just want to hear their favorite songs

Someone @ the DJ from the colisuem that is posting his bets all the time

He has talked about this in depth Brice

Damn, you are an idiot all over this board...


Anyway, it took hella skill to know how to chop a song, make good transitions, know your audience. As @1984 said the technology has made that easier, but you still need to know what they fukk you are doing. I remember when Snoop DJ'd a set at Movement last year and people were like cuz dude was playing so fukking top 40 type shyt and that shyt was NOT the crowd to do that shyt in. Half the crowd was leaving after that.
