What Type of DJ Are You? 5 DJ Personalities on Stage
What type of DJ are you? Join Muse Inc for a look at 5 notable types of DJ you'll meet on tour!
The risk-taker
These DJs don't limit themselves to their comfort zone: they make bold choices, using lots of different genres and techniques in their sets to surprise the crowd. Taking risks can pay off big – but getting greedy with experiments is sure to backfire when a DJ plays a “mishmash” set with too many genres and no emotional thread running through it.
The one who plans everything

They spend a lot of time researching the venue and the audience, arrange their playlist from start to finish, set hot cues and soundcheck carefully before they play – these DJs aim for smooth, mistake-free sets. Thorough preparation can reduce the risks, but it can backfire if they lack the flexibility to handle the unexpected.
The life of the party
Bursting with energy and doing whatever it takes to get the crowd going and stand out, these characters bring the buzz to every party. But not every crowd enjoys a DJ who talks non-stop on the mic or focuses more on gimmicks than on playing music – especially when they're not the headliner. Keeping their ego in check is the biggest challenge for this type of DJ.
The crowd-pleaser
At the other extreme are DJs who put the crowd before themselves and say yes to every request. But DJs aren't jukeboxes, so learning to say no is essential to keep the quality of the set high.
The free spirit
Led by their emotions and inspiration, these DJs can deliver truly brilliant sets when they connect with the crowd – but they can also easily fall apart if they make a mistake. The most important thing for them is learning to keep their emotions in check so they perform consistently.
