What Kind of DJ Are You? · Result
The Digger
The hours before the gig are the part you actually enjoy.
Designed rarity: about 9% of takers
For you the set is the receipt. The real work happens alone, over months, in listings and back catalogues and with one seller in Busan who ships slowly. You tend to own records that very few people anywhere own, you know why each one matters, and you are not especially worried about whether the floor knows. When you find something, the glow lasts about a week, and then the hunt starts again.
You go out with a bag that took months to fill and a few records you are dying to hear on a proper system. You prefer small rooms that listen, slots long enough to place a rare record where it makes sense, and a booth where someone might lean over to ask what that was. After close, you are usually the one still talking records by the booth.
Your strength
You bring records into a room that nobody else in the city can.
Your blind spot
You may reach for the rare record over the better one, because the better one felt too obvious.
