To be a DJ you need to understand music, the rhythms, tempos, it’s an art.

 

To be a good DJ you need to feel the beats, have a wide repertoire of old and new, a variety of different types of music. You need to have a passion for the traditional, the classic’s, the modern, you need to play for your audience, not always for yourself.

To be a great DJ you need to listen and feel the passion of the beat, the lyrics and understand the motive behind the song.
It helps if you are Greek! Why, the word music is from the Greek word ‘mousike’. The lyrics have a deep and passionate meaning, it cannot be translated or transferred, it can only be felt and absorbed.

Then, you need the personality to engage with your customers, your listeners, the people who support you in your chosen field. You need to have timing, a dedication to learn how computer software works and the limitations of your hardware.

When done correctly by the right DJ, listening to the music is a privilege, a sublime moment but you must listen, not just hear it. Stop whatever you are doing and listen, your feet will start tapping, your core will start swaying and you will turn up the volume.

If you want to experience this feeling then you have to book Andreas Demetriou. His fees are competitive, his attention to detail is extraordinary and whatever your occasion, it will only be complete if you have the complete DJ.

I have been in and around the music industry for many years and I will not book anybody else.
