FIVE QUALITIES THAT MAKE A GOOD DJ
1. The first important attribute for a DJ is to achieve confidence. Dancer (or chill out listener) must get the feeling, that the person behind the equipment gives a lot of thought for what music he/she plays for dancers/listeners.
2. DJ has not planned his/hers set at home beforehand. Instead it forms according to the mood on location. DJ should be jamming with the records, go with the flow, improvise. If the set has been made in advance it can be noticed almost certainly and mostly it turns out to be quite boring.
3. DJ must be able to control the equipment. If mixing isn't fluent, dancing becomes extremely difficult. When the songs change fluently they can be united more easily to one entirety, then it's easier to forget that your dancing "songs". Good control over the equipment also relaxes the DJ. He/She doesn't have to get stressed for mixing the records, adjusting the tone or volume. He can use that time for observing the mood.
4. DJ is able to make the music sound supernaturally different from listening to the same music at home. At its best listener doesn't even think he's dancing songs, but music that's fallen from the sky. If this emotion hasn't been felt without drugs, it's impossible to explain.
5. DJ reflects people's emotions through the music he plays and thus he encourages people to express them more freely. At its best it leads to incredible togetherness.
