What Kind of DJ Are You? · Result
The Hard Left
No plan, no compromise, and no interest in the middle.
Designed rarity: about 8% of takers
The other rare one. You improvise completely and concede very little, a combination most people cannot hold, because improvisation usually comes with a wish to please. Not for you. You tend to arrive with no order, decide everything live, and often choose the opposite of what the floor is asking for. When it lands, it can be the best thing anybody in that room hears all year, and everyone present knows it.
You go out with a deep, unpredictable bag and no running order. The first record is a decision made in the booth, and so is every one after it. You like small, committed rooms, long hours and crowds that came for risk rather than comfort. You will swing hard, sometimes against the floor, chasing the moment where a wrong turn becomes the right one.
Your strength
At full height you reach things no prepared DJ could.
Your blind spot
When a swing misses, you may not notice in time, or explain it as the room not being ready.
Key takeaways
- You decide everything live, often against the floor.

- Modeci, Yongsan: Small enough that the ten people who stayed for the strange record are the whole room.
Rooms to try around the world
- Elsewhere, New York: The small upstairs room where a hard turn is treated as the reason people came.
