Kind of curious what is the DJ scene like in NYC

[Eliot Han]

playing the big cities is all about falling in with a crew.

Make friends with local djs, hang with them, let them hear your tracks and mixes.

The bookings will come if your mixes are good.

This x 1000 ... I play in LA, so it's not too much different than NY.

x 2. Work hard and don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Also...the key to success i have found, is too keep your feet in two different scenes.

Some djs find this EXTREMELY hard to comprehend...i don't know why. Like they can only play one genre..?

Seriously it pays the bills haha. and i can make you a better dj, because you have more experience playing to different types of people.

It would not be unusual for me to play an all black House music club on a Friday. Spinning afro, funky, tribal and soulful vocal house.
Then on a saturday you might find me dropping Tech-House and electro in a fancy club for the white rich college crowd.
Or maybe dropping drum and bass at some underground warehouse rave.

Do those scenes ever cross..? haha NEVER. But I do!

Trust me if you can break out of your box a little, its MUCH more fun and interesting.

Personally I mix all genres and tempos. Doing the bpm circle a couple times in a set is fun.
