I Fooled the World into Thinking I Was a Successful EDM DJ–For an Art Project
I have a question for DJs:<p>Why do so many DJs play the same songs over and over and over again from night to night?<p>I&#x27;ve been to so many clubs that very rarely play new music, and very often stick to the same playlist night after night.<p>It&#x27;s so incredibly boring to hear the same songs over and over and over again, and saps my will to go out at all, because I know I&#x27;m rarely going to hear anything new.  There&#x27;s only so many times I can get up the energy to dance to even a great song that I&#x27;ve heard ten thousand times in the last 20 years.<p>I know this varies from DJ to DJ and scene to scene, and some do play new music, but I&#x27;ve just seen this happen way too often, and wonder how people can even stomach working as a DJ if they&#x27;re not interested enough to find and play new music, and restrict themselves to playing the same stuff over and over again.<p>It really bores the hell out of a lot of club goers too, and I&#x27;m convinced its contributed to the death of some scenes.<p>Also, why do some clubs have the same fucking DJs for literally decades?  Why can&#x27;t they let some fresh blood in?
