What Kind of DJ Are You? · Result
The Weathervane
You have no plan and you have never needed one.
Designed rarity: about 14% of takers
You tend to start with whatever the last DJ left in the air and build from there. You can often feel a room turn about forty seconds before it does, and a floor being ignored gives you an almost physical itch to fix it. Promoters love you because you so rarely lose a room, and other DJs quietly admire that you can take any slot, in any city, with no information, and be fine.
You arrive with a wide bag and no running order, then spend the first few records listening: to the crowd, the system, the bar noise, the energy the previous DJ handed over. From there it is a conversation. You watch the edges of the floor as closely as the middle, change direction the moment it sags, and tend to end the night with a crowd that did not want to leave.
Your strength
You can be dropped into any slot in any room and make it work.
Your blind spot
Nights built entirely from other people's signals can be hard to remember a week later, even for you.
