Last weekend two of my DJ friends were performing at the same party and another DJ friend was going to join. Great chance to see some friends, go clubbing, and possibly make some new good connections. I was really tired though so I was not so genki(energetic) most of the night. It was a new party for me, but at one of the clubs I regularly DJ at. I was really enjoying the early night and just dancing to the music. The main guest DJ came on around 2:30am. By this time I was really tired so it was hard to keep dancing, so I ended up just listening and enjoying his music and DJ. Well I was surprised when a track came on that I DJed in one of my sets a few weeks ago, and then another. It was a nice feeling, but it also gave me a chance to hear what he would do with the tracks (since I know them really well).
Well to my surprise he really didn't do much with those two tracks. Even the mixing in and out of those tracks was not to surprising. And he used no effects on those tracks to tweak them at all.
I enjoyed his DJ set, the tracks he picked were really good. But I kind of was hoping to be awed by something a bit more. I actually enjoyed the two DJs before him more. Well one is my friend and I love her style, and the other is a friend of hers and my friend loves her style.
But I guess I am really seeing other DJ's performance now from the point of view of a DJ. It is good and bad at the same time. It means I can appreciate it more when I really love it (like with my friend's sets), but it also means I can be a bit critical without really wanting to be.
