Why you go see a DJ ? (poll)

What motivates you to see a Dj live is it their Productions or their live performances and stage appeal or because someone tells you too ??

i go to hear a dj, not see one.


And its all about how they play. I couldnt care less about their productions or circus tricks! Therefor i cant answer your poll

+1

I go to see certain DJs because they play music I enjoy. I could care less about actually seeing the DJ and their show production. Sure, there are some DJs I like that are complete odd balls and their antics have many times taken away from the music (i.e Mark E.G.).

I miss the days where the DJ wasn't front and centre. Now everyone has to crowd around the front so they can shoot their 30 second videos of the DJ on their cell phones.

I think the production of a show still has alot to do with why I go see a DJ. Music is def the #1 reasons. But a DJ that can pull off some crazy antics and hype a crowd with funny/weird/flamboyant characteristics definitely still adds to the whole entertaining value of the overall experience.

Screw productions, theatrics and animations.

All I need is a proper beat, a good sound system and space to dance.

I won't go out unless there are SIKKKK LAZERZZZZZ and a good spot to pump my fist!!!!!!!

I think it's so much fun to hear the same stuff you listen to in the car, or at home on such a massive scale with so many people. Always gives the tune a new meaning I guess.

By the way. djsketch, holy shit you're tall
I think at the entire LoL and when I saw you at zone you were the only person taller then me.

I go see DJ sets because I'm pretty sure the DJ will play the style of music I like, it's all about the music for me. Once a month I make my way to Stereo, I can't party every weekend I dunno how you guys do it, but.. I check the schedule and pick a day, and we dance for 8 hours. It's always such a great night, my next day at the temple is this saturday for The Martinez Brothers.

DJs' productions, quality of previous gigs, and personality; also, friends' recommendations and artist/label support.

friends/music

The stuff that comes out of the speakers (and i dont mean the skasians) is the number one thing...

But the showmanship can be fun as well...

Since I don't party nearly as much as I use to it's pretty rare that I go see a dj I've never heard of before. That being said I go see a dj who I want to experience live... experience their presence; the way the dj, club, and crowd all interact with one another, and to hear his/her sound on some big ass speakers.

And I go to get my dance on

SO many reasons! The main ones for me are usually set flow/mixing/track selection and definitely the time spent with friends (it's not as fun dancing alone!). Sometimes a particular dj's ability to produce also gets me really revved up to see them, because I'll likely get the opportunity to hear some of those tracks live in a club! Oh, and it definitely doesn't hurt to see someone crack a smile behind the decks! Most importantly, can he/she make me never want to stop dancing?!

i am honestly over seeing a specific DJ for the name. i go for the party.

if i think a certain DJ can make a party happen, i will go.

i honestly don't care who they are.

it happens that the more popular DJs bring a better party, for example if 50 of my friends want to go that means it will be a good party. you can interchange the name of any DJ.

the venue also has to add to it.

if we talking international headliners i would usually decide to see a particular dj based on my liking of their production.

i usually go to listen to the style of music i like and i would usually have expectations on what dj plays based on what he/she produces

I have to admit, when I go out these days it's because I decide at 10pm that I feel like going out, so I go where everyone else is going.

Ditto overload.

It used to be like this

and still occassionally does happen that way, but it's more like Skipper's method to the madness now.

In the end...

Hey Sketch, isn't this the kind of market research feedback we get paid for in some way? You masterminding a ballistic meltdown of a party? If so, I want a comp. Seriously though, it was a good idea to put this question out there to help all the aspiring DJs/promoters/venue owners in the scene. Cheers.

if i know they can deliver in some way, in productions, in their sets, then i go -- they might spin some diirty set. otherwise i make love to my couch.
