Music Streaming vs DJ?

Can a playlist really replace investing in a professional DJ?

Let’s take this from a complete un-biased standpoint…Spotify, Itunes and Soundcloud are known for their party playlists, with streaming music apps allowing us to listen to million of artists at our fingertrips. What is great about music streaming is it allows you to be your own DJ essentially, allowing you throw it back on a stranger, whilst the DJ keeps the same tune, but changes the song #rapcavier

It is a question as old as time: should I hire a professional DJ, or should I make my own playlist for my wedding/event?

Streaming music unfortunately is still no DJ…let us tell you why!

A DJ does not just offer you your favourite beats, they have a responsibility to keep that party going, to feel the vibes and solely focus on providing you with absolute bangas whilst catering to all genres of music. We hope to think us DJ’s have something unique to offer that goes far beyond technology, we aren’t here to bag these platforms, They can be an absolute beast in the music scene BUT we do think they have their place.
