I interviewed the official 2021 DMC World DJ Team Champions, namely JFB and DJ ANGELO, about how their winning routine came together. You can watch the live interview and questions from the community in the video above.
DJ Angelo & JFB’s 5 tips for building a winning DJ routine
Here are the five tips that they expand upon in the video:
- Strike a balance – This is about technicality vs musicality, appealing to DJs and non-DJs, making sure the routine is both skill and style, and so on
- Out-think the opposition – Whereas skill is important, it’s not as important as having those good creative “wow” ideas that no one else saw coming
- Ensure cohesion – This is all about digging deep and selecting specific music and samples that make sense being used together
- Go the extra mile – This concerns not wrapping up the project until you’ve optimised and maximised every aspect of the routine that you possibly can
- Strive for authenticity – This one is about making something that you are proud of and that is true to your style. It’s about not thinking too much about current trends or the judges
