DJs are fascinating people.
Not the Rick Dees or Howard Stern type but
the Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, Max Graham and
John Digweed breed.
A popular DJ was once asked
whether he preferred composing and producing
his own music so that others could listen
and play it or selecting and playing music
for others to enjoy. The response was that
he preferred the former.
A deeper consideration
of his answer reveals how right it was.
After all, repeating what others do is simple.
So what if you are paying respect to the
original producer by playing their music.
What have you added to the industry?
What
you should do is be the trendsetter. Compose
the work that others will select, play and
pay homage to.
Of course, not like there is anything with
following the leader.
