DJing at its purest is the best—making people have fun. DJing at its worst makes me want to jump off a bridge: a 28-year-old dipshit in a $150 suit and Jordans telling you to “pick it up.

So many DJs think being “good” will lead to recognition and success. This is the entertainment business, not a talent show!

Five years ago, I was broke, with no DJ gigs and no music career to mention. Yet, I persevered because music is my passion. I’m not rich or basking in fame, but I'm making a living in one of the most expensive cities in the world, doing what I love.

Respectfully, no. DJ'ing house is a totally different thing. I highly doubt that most could play a set of the same caliber as a working house DJ. There's records that most just won't know.
Public Service Announcement:
Any Open Format DJ can play straight House for hours.
Not all “House DJs” can play Open Formats for hours.

You do NOT need to mix every song as a dj. Listen to some funk flex and learn how to drop records.

I hate to complain as a DJ, but imma complain. As an opener if you’re going to play the biggest song of the night before midnight AT LEAST LET THE FUCKING SONG PLAY THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH.

If you put 10k hours into real estate you’d probably be rich. If you put 10k hours into djing/ music you might work at guitar center. There are no guarantees in any creative endeavors.
