If I was a DJ, I would....find time to work on my productions. Gotta be balanced between DJing and productions
If I was a DJ, I would...give back to those who have given me soo much in the scene...
If I was a DJ, I would...play for the crowd, but educate them at the same time. If there is one thing i learned its that a DJ can't educate the crowd without entertaining the crowd.
If I was a DJ, I would...have 2 Classics partys a year
If I was a DJ, I would...still be respectful of my peers. This business is a cutthroat business and one false move and before you know it, you're black balld
Now.....
If I was a DJ, I wouldn't....use a laptop. call me old fashion but i don't want to be known as a plug n play DJ
If I was a DJ, I wouldn't...have an outstanding contract or rider needs
If I was a DJ, I wouldn't...let me ego get in the way of buisness
If I was a DJ, I wouldn't...quit my day job
If I was a DJ, I wouldn't...take a gig i'm not ready for |

amen to that...plus i feel like id play for free in my hometown city to give back to the up n coming partygoers as old school clubbers that supported me along the way to becoming a world headliner
oh and stay true to my roots and not sell out with what would just make me more money (tiesto)
hang out at after parties and mingle with the fans/friends |

| If I were a DJ, I would pay some unknown producers to make music for me so I could slap my name on it so I take all the money and credit. |

this is a great point, i was about to say the same --- I would make a point to play at least a few free parties over the course of every year. not just in my hometown though. Probably in the cities where I have the most fans / cities where I play the most parties over the course of the year. Release the info online first, through my own website, a pre-sale of the free tix
and as for the mingling at after parties -- i'm sure that a lot of djs do this. you just gotta know the right ppl :p (damn that would be so much fun!) |

If I were a DJ I'd sell out and make a load of money tour the world and be happy.
If I were a DJ I'd also use an alias under which I produce only quality, underground tracks that your life can depend on, as well as try to hide the identity of that name.
If I were a DJ I'd play my alias on my super popular radioshow to get people to see what good music is all about, and have the scene slowly shift away from cheese as well as support smaller artists.
If I were a DJ I'd want to be something like BT. |

i always have said to myself if i become famous (when i was much younger and i thought making music was a form of an art, not a copy and past) i would open public production studios, let anyone one come in and schedule appointment with workshops and sit there and show them how to put their ideas in digital :)
have famous djs and volunteer their time. now that the time has passed i have moved my thought to a virtual studio. i want to open a free website with live streaming video chats where people can go online and get their question answered by highly qualified professional |
