Myth 1
You see, I used to think that if I worked the hardest and was the most skilled DJ, I would eventually be booked to play in huge festivals like Tomorrowland or Coachella.
But as I grew my skills, won local and international DJ championships, none of what I expected and hoped for came to happen. I was still being booked to play other peoples music.
And that’s thing. For at least 90% of DJs, If you wanna make it as a successful DJ, and get booked for huge festivals and international gigs, you can’t just rely on your DJ skills to get you there.
You also have to be a producer and artist and you just have to make your own music.
The people who headline these huge gigs and festivals aren’t known for their sick scratching or epic transitions, they’re known simply for their music. So if you wanna get to those stages, learn how to produce.
Myth 2
Now my stand on the matter is “go for it” as long as you know how to beatmatch first. And personally when I started out, I skipped learning how to beatmatch to instead learn more cooler techniques, like how to scratch.
So when I gigged out, you can bet, I got ridiculed and shamed for using the Sync button. And to this very day, I still do.
And I can’t really blame the haters. They do have the best intentions in mind, but hating and not being open, can really blind one from things one can potentially do to get better and evolve.
Now, there’s no denying the fact that using Sync can afford you more time to do more important things like crowd reading and rocking, and doing cool DJ tricks and techniques which take advantage of new technologies and gear.
Personally I use Sync so I can do more with my sets to better engage and entertain the crowd, and give them a reason why DJ-DJ’s are better than producer-djs. Just kidding!
Anyway, let’s just face the facts. The crowd simply doesn’t care, what equipment you use and what techniques you implement, as long as you keep them happy and dancing with your song selection. `
Myth 3
Being in this digital era where music is so accessible, I used to think that have more songs will give you a better DJ’ing, since you’ll be more able to cater to whatever the crowd may want to hear.
But from DJing for more than 10 years now, and accumulating and prepping over 100,000 songs.
I realized that by being more conscious of your musical library, having tailored playlists, and just really knowing the tracks you’ll most likely use in a gig, is so much more better than blindly accumulating song after song after song.
By being more knowledgeable of your musical library and the songs you have, you’ll be more able to deduce your libraries capabilities to appease the crowd. Because you’ll have an easier time navigating thru your songs, and knowing which ones can work in your favor.
Now admittedly, we are in the age of Spotify where anyone can get any song played in an instant. And as DJ’s, we have to realize that it’s not our job be a Human Spotify App, rather, it’s our job to curate and play good music. So fill your library with quality over quantity.
