What Kind of DJ Are You? · Result
The Bunker
Prepared, forward facing, and happiest a little apart from the scene.
Designed rarity: about 5% of takers
This is a rare result. You are often one of the most prepared people in any room you enter, and one of the quietest. The work happens alone, at home, over long stretches, on equipment you have opinions about, and it is aimed at where music is going rather than where it has been. You are patient to an almost unreasonable degree and will happily sit on an idea for a year before it is ready.
You go out rarely and on your own terms: a dark room, a serious system, a slow build and no expectation to talk. You arrive with something you have been refining for months and leave soon after you finish. Posting about the gig is not really your thing, and the after party even less, which means the music has to do all the talking.
Your strength
Nobody prepares harder or waits longer, and it is audible.
Your blind spot
Music lives in rooms, and keeping yourself apart from them can mean fewer people ever hear your work.
Key takeaways
- Nobody prepares harder or waits longer.
- Your work is aimed at where the music is going.

Rooms to try in Seoul

- Faust, Itaewon: A room where the music is the only thing being judged, which suits you perfectly.
Rooms to try around the world
- A warehouse afterhours in Detroit, Detroit: Rooms that do not put the DJ on the poster, in a city that respects people who stay home and build.
- Berghain, Berlin: The one room where staying apart from the scene reads as discipline.
- Bassiani, Tbilisi: A floor that is entirely about the sound and not at all about who you know.
