Have u met someone or know someone who is a DJ that is starting out ask you for your ENTIRE music library (for free)?
I have been in this situation before and it is extremely uncomfortable. Being a DJ, I feel your music library is your backbone and ultimately defines you. I have no problem showing people artists, tracks, or labels, but outright handing someone my years of collecting and digging seems in-genuine and counter-productive to what makes a DJ a DJ. Not to mention, I pay for majority of my tracks.
I do not know how to handle the situation and usually am very deflective/non-responsive, at which point i am then met with signs of implying my reaction is uncalled for or douchey.
On the flip side, have you ever asked anyone for their library? I would never think to ask someone so maybe I am projecting my own views on others. Still, to me, it doesn't seem or feel right both ethically.
Are they being uncalled for? Or am I?
