WHAT IS therumorNYC.com?

The rumor NYC is a Blog for all my friends out in the NYC area. It’s a simple collaboration of the latest happenings, parties and events that my friends and I will be attending. You will most likely only know about it if we're friends, or if you are friends with my friends. It’s certainly open to everyone, but it’s more of a quick way for me to pass on "the rumor" to all my peeps....

GO DJ...


You know the scene: standing in the middle of a bar/club and the sound goes from a hard hitting 50 cent joint and screeches to a slow crawling R&B tune, or even worse elevates to a super fast techno song that immediately deserts the dance floor... blame the DJ.

Some party guys forget to pay close attention to their selection of a DJ when they setup their events, its the number 1 factor, behind maybe the venue, even then a solid DJ can turn around even a mediocre spot.

It's SO important for a DJ to be able to catch the "vibe" of the crowd and feed to what they are wanting... after all, he's there for them, NOT himself, this isnt a concert, where the crowd will cheer at anything you perform because you're you. Sorry guys, you're there to entertain the masses with what they want... so even when you're actively ignoring that obnoxious girl who keeps requesting shakira, its important to (at some point) appease her by dropping it, if its not immediately, but at some point, cause she WILL notice!

My personal pick for top dj's: dj kunal m, if you've ever been to one of my parties, you know why. he def understands the art of appeasing the crowd, and i've been to enough parties to know, its not easy!

I found this article that basically breaks it down:
How important is it that a DJ can "Read the Crowd"?

Go dj...
