Being a Disc Jockey is certainly not a breeze. It will take many years to build up a succesful setlist and even longer for a club to take it seriously. Is being a DJ just like playing any other form of music or is it something else entirely and can violence, alcohol and drugs come with the job?

It is however like any other job and most of the time you can be your own boss, drinking should not be done on the job and taking drugs as well as being violent is something that is condemmed by common law. Is the DJ the problem or perhaps the people that are attending the gig.. But are the DJs the problem or is it the people that are partying to the music?

The most likely reason that there is sometimes violence at a set is not because of the DJ lighting or even because the DJ speakers He is not prepared to do the gig because of all of the violence that comes with it.. Think about the huge Fat boy Slim concerts that are usually held in Brighton every year. He has personally said he will not do them due to the violence cause by the drugs and alcohol taken there. Not only this, the amount of trash that is left on Brightons streets afterwards is something you expect to see at a tip not a city centre.

This however is not meaning to see that the DJ him/herself is responsible for what the people are doing at a set, most of the time the DJ does not want things to get out of control, like any other musician playing they are doing it for the fans and to make a living not for violent behaviour. So next time there is violence at a DJ set do not blame the DJ mixer blame the crowd, they are usually the root of the problem.
