    A D.J. Could Save Your Life Tonight

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/…

    "Good D.J.s are extraordinary artists, and great D.J.s are transcendent magicians. The art requires extensive musical knowledge. It demands technical know-how. It turns one into a psychologist and reader of moods in order to gauge the whims of a dance floor. And it insists that you spend days, weeks and years learning how to mix flawlessly."

    • even just a dj with taste and alert of their surroundings with zero technical skills is going to be better than 99% out there tonight! stay safe.kingsteven

    • Or any real hiphop or house mix by djs like stretch armstrong, 45king, maw, mixmastermike, etc. it’s real, messy and raw, honest. my pref anyway.prophetone
