Importance in DJ'ing

So, as a DJ, what do you feel is the most important aspect of it all?
- pleasing the crowd?
- smooth mixing?
- track selection?
- advanced dj'ing (looping, effects, etc.)?
- anything else I obviously missed
I don't if this makes any sense, but if it did, I'd have to choose 'pleasing the crowd' first and fore-most. |

| you need to have a good look at the crowd and capture them (Spiritualy) in the palm of your hands and apply your wisdom in the decks, technicaly everything should come to play |

If the crowd is happy, the chances are that you have been playing decent tracks, and been mixing smoothly (or there is a drink special that night :wtf: ) |

Most of the time the crowd sucks so em. But I guess that has more to do with picking your gigs wisely.
I always say track selection, track selection, track selection. |

track selection
------------------
playing tracks u know will work well together, hopefully will bring smooth mixing naturally and "rock the crowd" at the same time |

i have said this plenty of times but i'm saying it again, track selection goes before mixing.
you can have the smoothest mixing skills ever (even to a digweed level) but if your trackselection is bad, your mixing isn't going help you one bit. |

Pleasing the crowd is the most important by far, and make it look like your'e enjoying yourself, don't just stand there mixing with your head down the whole time ignoring the crowd.
After that comes track selection, which is important for pleasing the crowd. Don't try to educate them by playing progressive or minimal tracks if all the crowd want to do is shout 'choon!' and wave their hands in the air, because it won't work.
Your mixing doesn't need to be smooth, as long as it sounds good and keeps the crowd dancing, its a good mix. |
