Friday Roundup
In the first Friday Roundup of 2016, we take one final look back at the year that was and cast an eye on what’s in store for DJing in the coming months, among other pieces curated for your weekend reading.

It’s the start of a brand new year, and in this week’s Friday Roundup we take a look back at how 2015 shaped the course of digital DJing, as well as the twists and turns that dance music took. We’ve also got pieces on the most memorable DJ Twitter rants this year (too many to mention, but they’ve been whittled down to 10), how to survive your New Year’s Eve party hangover, and even a glimpse of what’s to come this 2016. All that and more in our weekly muster of DJ news from around the web. Happy new year, everyone!
