For me, the energy when I'm DJ'ing should be about the dance floor and not about the person performing.

I was a warm-up DJ for many years so I know how to build a crowd, what record goes with the next, it's all about understanding the dance floor and how the energy and flow should go coordinating to what the crowd want or might need.

Hardwell

DJ-ing itself is not just about playing songs. The art of DJ-ing is presenting new songs to the crowd that they haven't heard before and creating a party vibe that's different than just listening to anybody's playlist. It's the only way to truly be big and respected in your craft.

TyDi

When I started DJ'ing, it was no big thing. There was no money in DJ'ing, and you did it purely for the love of playing music.

Paul Oakenfold

Oddly I've been DJ-ing for many years, actually, but not many people know about it because if you go and DJ in a club and you've got 2000 people in there, then obviously about 2000 people know that you're a DJ.

Gok Wan

I love performing in the U.K. Everyone is always up for it and brings all their energy to the dance floor.

Tiesto

I started DJ-ing in the '90s. DJ-ing is in every record I do. When I make records I make them for DJs.

Lil Jon

Traditionally, with a DJ set, you just go hear DJ that has a good reputation and let the DJ take you somewhere. It was up to the DJ what he wanted to play. Typically in dance music, people didn't know most of the songs a DJ played.

A-Trak

If I'm performing with a DJ, it's all on me to draw the energy. I like the camaraderie of a band.

Talib Kweli

I do really long DJ sets - I play for five or six hours sometimes - but the live shows are a bit more compact. The arch of how to tell a story, where the energy is, where you have peaks and drops, where things go up and things come down, that's all being informed by DJ-ing.

Bonobo

I know about hip-hop culture, whether it's graffiti writing or DJ-ing or being an MC.

Josh Peck

I like a challenge. I need to feel passionate about something. If I'm not passionate about it, I can't stand it. It has to feel real. DJ'ing, touring, charity work - anything.

Tiesto

If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm and You are the music.

Pink

I do really silly dancing. I love dancing, but I'm not cool when I dance. It's not about my moves, it's not about how cool I am, it's not about how slick I look on the dance floor, it's about having a great time.

Imogen Heap

Technology makes good DJ's better, but also allows your average person to think they're a DJ, and unfortunately there's no checks and balances about people making it a career.

Neil Armstrong

I can remember when I was just, like, about four years old in Compton, and my mother would have me stack 45s, stack about ten of them, and when one would finish, the next record would drop. It was like I was DJ'ing for the house, picking out certain songs and so this song would go after that song.

Dr. Dre

Most producers today are little bedroom producers and then they get their record and get signed by an agency and go on the road, but they have no idea about DJ-ing. They have no culture about where that music comes from and they just stand behind the booth, put their hand in the air, and play all the hits.
