playing or not.
When I was old enough to get in the clubs many moons ago, it was about
trying to pick somebody up and hearing some good tracks as you go f**ck up.
I also remember most of the dj where behind a glass walls or in some
sort of both and were cut off from the audience. Maybe that was so the
dj and light person could snort there coke and smoke weed.
Quote from Greg Wilson is today's Manchester Evening News:
"Being a DJ was a whole different dynamic back then. I don't know if you
remember the Hacienda in '83? Well the DJ booth was in a different room
at the back of the stage where you couldn't see the crowd. It was only
later did they move it upstairs. That's indicative of how the role of
the DJ evolved."
(If you wanna read that it's in an article about him playing tonite at
Prescription in Manchester)
Then the 90's came around and it change for good or bad that is all
subjective.
Some go to se a person play records.
Some go to hear music and other go just to have a good time.
Frequencies provoke emotion and how the frequency are pushed should not
matter so much as long as the frequency are getting pushed.
Also back in the day and not so much now dj's had a MC to help out with
the crowd interaction and get pep's all pump-up.
Let's try not to over think this and just have a good time....
Spot on.
