What Kind of DJ Are You? · Result
The Content DJ
The set is filmed before it is played, and it is genuinely good.
Designed rarity: about 5% of takers
The camera is set before the monitor is. You tend to know where the light falls, which side of the mixer reads better in a vertical frame, and exactly which sixty seconds of the next two hours will be the post. This is real skill and it pays off, in followers that turn into bookings that turn into flights. You are also, as the older DJs sometimes miss, the reason a nineteen year old in Daegu heard the record at all.
You go out with a plan for the night and a plan for the frame: camera angle, lighting, and the big moment timed for the clip. You like rooms with strong production, skyline views and crowds happy to be part of the story. The set and the edit are two halves of one job, and you are good at both.
Your strength
You reach more people in a week than most DJs in a career.
Your blind spot
Restarting a transition for a cleaner take, or ending on the camera's moment, can leave the floor behind.

Rooms to try in Seoul

- A rooftop in Hannam, Hannam: Skyline behind the booth, golden hour set times, and a frame that does half the work.
Rooms to try around the world
- Rebel, Toronto: A big lakeside room with production that looks the same on a phone as it does from the floor.
- Omnia, Las Vegas: The confetti and the clip are the product, and everyone there embraces it.
- A rooftop stream setup in Brooklyn, New York: Three cameras, a skyline and forty people, with the real audience arriving online a week later.
