The other replies “Hmm, I dunno. Who’s the projectionist?”
It's certainly not something that translates to TV coverage or restaurants - ( for some reason all large fashionable restaurants in big cities now have a DJ booth and live DJ to make your expensive eating experience as noisy and uncomfortable as possible which my children tell me is because I'm old and boring )
I've done a lot of the Ibiza thing way back in the past and met many of them at Cafe del Mar private pre-sets ,cafe Mambo etc
Most of them seem to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of music going back to Frank Sinatra.
A few years ago I was ridiculed by some young colleagues because I wasn't familiar with the esteemed work of "DJ Bobo" ,apparently a famous German DJ ............I think I can live with that !
So, maybe just something about the spectacle of it.
i bought my first set of decks in 1989, and still love to spin a few tunes.
Guetta doesnt really have it well known to just press play
There is a skill to it, like playing an instrument. I’ve DJ’d as long as I’ve played guitar. It’s not easy to do well.
I personally don’t like Mr Guetta as an artist or the music he plays. But I can appreciate what he’s up to.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
In my (very sparse) experience of playing to a crowd, I had a bit of the latter, but never really got good enough at the former to get anywhere, I just did a few house parties and a couple of charity parties. But a really good DJ, working a crowd for four or more hours, is definitely more than just pressing play.
The whole concept of taking that, and making it a thing to put on TV or a festival stage, doesn't work in the same way, though - the songs played are generally remixed and programmed to have some natural ebb and flow to them, rather than the DJ creating the change in energy in response to the audience. Generally, that often is just turning up, pressing play, and waving your hands in the air (or at most picking a new song, loading it into the software and pressing "beatmix").
(With the other hand up in the air)
DJ Shadow, DJ Yoda, Scratch Perverts, Coldcut, DJ Food, Cut Chemist are excellent DJ's. I absolutely love turntablists. Proper students of the decks have a knowledge of break beats, funk, soul, early hip hop like no other.
