Ten commanders for "good" DJs

It has been written a lot about the PERFECT manual to be a DJ. And I mean a lot. My idea of writing commanders down cames when I though about this Jeff Mills post. It was one on my mind since then. Seriously, this man is the best preacher in our days. The Wizard knows how to mix properly after all and he knows how important is DJing nowadays when a lot of idols, such as those bedroom deejays. Emerged from Heaven. Submerged in Hell. Hearts filled by their music. Around the World without a break. Non-stop music can be an ill which time along is irreparable.




1. Be positive. Think positive. Like a way of therapy HAPPY music brings the powerful joy of Eternity.
2. Be honest with your music. Don't try to be a kind of influencer because it rules social media. Be yourself. Share your style. Following ideas of other people won't help you in your music career.
3. The fact of humility matters. "I'd never talk to someone like her/him" is a negative though you have to change.
4. Always smiling at the crowd. People will join you as an artist who knows what is she/he doing. They will come for your music so be honest (the same as 2). Don't forget to keep in touch with eyes.
5. Respect & Listen. Wherever you are always remember to bring joy, peace and respect for your colleagues. To know how to listen is a process. Do not interrupt any session. Try to be ready on time. 30 minutes before yours begins. As the audience concerns. In most cases they will not interrupt your session. And if they do, try to stop mixing and ask your interlocutor what they are trying to say.
6. Assume your consequences. When you touch crossfader by mistake. When you miss the Kick in the mix over the Bass. When the beatmatching is out of original BPMs. All of this fails happen. No matter when or how take it but with humor mate
7. Don't expect anything. People often do a please please but is better to not panic when you are waiting for something from someone and it never happens. You have to expect anything in return when  the best thing is doing yourself a favor and try to FORGET insignificant deals between DJs Love each other.
8. Take care about the others. Hanging out of DJ lifestyle is hard. But remember to be nice even in your hardest day. Try to socialize with people. Ask for doing a breakaway. Enjoy the nature with your  fellow art and craft mate
9. Keep your promises. Say things such as "I promise this. I promise that" is not a trivial thing. Try to convince others that you can keep a promise.
10. Be kind. Don't be rude with people. Don't judge them. They might be a promoter in disguise. You never know.
