I was just reading an article called 'the diva paradox' and was wondering if anyone here has come across and Diva DJ's?
I have noticed in some DJ's who become big names in a particular scene that they sometimes don't have time for other upcoming DJ's or fans, save the busty blondes who are going to give them special services after the gig. There was also the case where a DJ who went on before Funkagenda shut F's laptop down whilst his last tune was on because he wanted everyone to see him before Funkagenda went on. To me there is no need for this and in fact as part of my radio show I am running a night bringing up coming DJs into our scene giving them extra experience and a chance to play in front of a crowd they wouldn't normally get to play to.
If you think that you have 'made it' and have a fan base who will come and see you even if you don't interact or bother to even acknowledge the crowd. Do you think it is still important to make sure they feel special? Personally I always thank people via facebook, twitter or in person at gigs, people who come up and say hello if they have seen me play I always make an effort to remember their name.
