@hi_milio A mentor of mine who’s been DJing for decades told me about the “do you” theory. It’s one of those things that changed the way I DJ. This is what they explained to me. The “do you” theory essentially means that when you dj you’re doing it for yourself. It’s an act of creation and expression. It’s not for you to please anyone else. You’ve become a vessel to let people know who you are and how you feel. You’re showing this to them, the who you are as an artist. They explained that when you get up to the booth you can’t pretend to be or do anything you’re not because it will block that creative and expressive flow and people will be able to sense that. People or the crowd can sense when you’re “doing you” they can join your flow and participate in what you are creating. But if you go against that, the crowd feels it as well. So each time you’re DJing make sure that you’re doing it for yourself first. Play the music that YOU like, dance the way YOU like and be open to expressing yourself and letting people come into your world. You might be surprised by how much people want to be there and experience it. Let me know if this resonates with you and if you’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum-fully doing you versus playing a set for someone else. Send this to a DJ who needs to read this. #housemusic #dj #housemusiclovers #deephouse #techhouse
