It is a fact that not too many djs can honestly say they can do an all vinyl set. With the day and age of streaming and just playing mp3’s, it seems to be more economical and easier on the wallet. Anyways who would want to carry around heavy records and better yet store all that vinyl at your home when you can have way more music on your laptop and take way less space.

   Why would anyone spin on vinyl if its way more expensive to maintain? One reason is its cool to see visually and it connects with the past. In the 70s and 80s that is what all the djs used to at parties. For those djs who learned on record had to learn how to mix by ear as opposed to having a computer help you beat match. There is something nostalgic about flipping through records while looking at the cover of the song. It is a good way to stand out over all the other digital djs out here.

 A lot of folks do not like the new music out coming out now but love the classics from the 70s, 80s and 90s and 00s. A lot of djs who went the digital route got rid of their beloved collections and went for the cash for their collection. But a few had a deeper connection with the vinyl they collected or maybe they ignored their partners request to get rid of their vinyl and they can pull them out for special occasions. This is an instance of old school being cool. Bring vinyl back and call Black and White Affair for your all vinyl event.

Being a DJ is about more than just playing music. It’s about creating an environment, building relationships with your audience, and getting people to have a great time. That’s why reading the crowd is an important skill for any DJ to master. By understanding how to read the mood of your audience and respond accordingly, you can ensure that everyone has a good time.

What Does it Mean to Read the Crowd?

Reading the crowd means being able to assess what type of atmosphere is desired by your audience and then taking appropriate action based on this understanding. As a DJ, you need to be able to listen carefully and observe what type of music your audience enjoys and reacts positively towards. You also need to be aware of any changes in the energy level of your crowd; if they are starting to lose interest or become unresponsive, it’s up to you as the DJ to adjust accordingly. 

How Can I Improve My Ability To Read The Crowd?

The key is practice and experience. As a beginner, it might take some time before you feel comfortable gauging the atmosphere in your venue and responding appropriately with music selections or other tactics such as light shows or visuals. However, if you keep at it, eventually you will develop an intuition for what works best in different situations. You should also put yourself out there; accept gigs at different types of events or locations where you can get exposure and practice reading different types of crowds. The more you do this over time, the better equipped you will be to handle any situation that comes your way!

Reading the crowd is an essential skill for any successful DJ. It’s not something that comes easily overnight; however, with enough practice and experience over time, anyone can become proficient at reading their audiences’ reactions and adjusting their performance accordingly! Next time you take on a gig, take note of how people are responding throughout – who knows? Maybe someday soon you’ll be known as one of those DJs who always knows which songs will bring down the house!
