I got back into DJing a few years ago after having been a vinyl DJ in the early 90s, obviously I still love vinyl especially the rawness of DJing with it. I do also love the extra creativity that the digital format brings. One of the things that surprised me the most was how much music gets released every week compared to back when I started. At best I used to listen through a pile of maybe 100 records a week at Eastern Bloc in Manchester. These days I'm trying to get through something like 10k a week if I want to try and stay up to date with what's out there.
I wrote an app to help me do it and it's kind of getting there, really helps me but I think there's still some work to do so I'm doing some research to understand how other DJs discover their music. I'm looking for enthusiastic DJs to complete a short questionnaire, and maybe follow up with a diary study. I'd be happy to offer to publish a promoted interview on our blog for people who complete the study and will share a private and anonymised summary of the results with you.
If you're an enthusiatic DJ please get involved..
