Amazing DJs are Hard to Find!

Much like any skill or talent, many people can be ok or even good, but few can be amazing. When searching for an amazing dj, consider a few things...

  1. Word-of-mouth feedback
  2. Live performances
  3. Personal experience
  4. Online reviews

These are just a few of the ways to find an amazing DJ near you. You can also visit a bunch of clubs and bars and check out the local DJs who are performing in your town. Here's a great routine by DJ Craze to get you excited:

Uniqueness of DJs in Maryland

There is something unique to be said about DJs in Maryland that cannot be said about DJs in other parts of the country. That is, their need and ability to entertain all types of musical tastes and backgrounds. You see, as a DJ in MD you're dealing with quite a large geographical area including Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington DC, and parts of Virginia.

So, how does one cater to a club that wants old soulful house, and a party that wants current pop and 90's throwback hip hop, and still a wedding with a wide range in tastes on its own all within the same week? Well, while the answer seems wide and encompassing, it's really not. The simple truth is that if you truly understand your tools (turntables) and truly understand how music works and you know your music quite well then you've got half of it down right there. The other half consists of learning the psychology of crowds so you can adapt on the fly and keep the party going as well as timing and song selection.

There are literally THOUSANDS of DJs in the DC-metro area, though unfortunately, the DJs who have the full package described above are rare. Extremely rare. So, when choosing a DJ for your party, wedding, private event, puppy's first bath, etc., make sure you consider those factors and if you can find a DJ that can do all of that, you're in good hands.
