The Challenges of DJing Live Events

DJing at live events can present unique challenges, particularly when it comes to selecting the right tracks. It's common for DJs to invest considerable time preparing sets, only to discover that the crowd may prefer more recognizable or classic songs instead of experimental tracks. This is especially true for one-off gigs, where the pressure to keep the audience engaged is high. In contrast, DJs who hold residencies or headline shows often have more freedom to explore innovative selections, as they can gauge the crowd's taste over multiple performances.
