I just like Karizma

This is definitely a list of things that every DJ should be capable of, as well as what separates the men from the boys.

I like the second one.

Reminds me of a quote from Theo Parrish.

"If you're looking to get paid, do not become a DJ. Go become a doctor, or a computer programmer. [it's an old quote

] If you're trying to make a difference in someone's life, do not become a DJ. Go be a teacher. But if you love music so much, to the point where it is a sickness. Then you're just about where you need to be starting at."

Only thing I don't like is the last quote. Even though I agree with it. I'm just not that forward

"if a girlfriend, a friend, w/e threatens to do something to you're records and you are about to cry, you're a DJ."

so true.

How about if you just got a brand new spanking pair of Technics 1200 Grandmaster editions after playing on 800 MK2's for so long, and you still burst a tear as u recieving them from the delivery guy.

Thats love

or wait is it just me ?

if you just sit at home and stare at your gear admiring it-- you a dj.

every single song that comes on the radio, you wanna remix it-- you a dj.

best damn feeling in the world is when people are dancing to the music you are playing!
