Too much music for today’s DJ

If you had asked me 2 – 3 years ago whether or not it was possible to have too much music, I would have told you no way. I always used to feel that it was always better to have more than not enough, simply because you never know what the person would want to hear at that time. I listen to almost everything and am quite unbiased with my music, in fact, my collection of music contains a high amount of very strange and obscure music. All my life, I have used computers in order to gain music, from the days of having dial up and Napster, I have never deleted anything as long as the songs sounded good.

However, we are in a much different age now and DJ music collections have turned into something completely different. I like to use a combination of a mash up style music with digital DJing with software such as Serato and Traktor. These days, there is no more burning CDs and moving them around. Computers have made making remixes even easier, and now the collections of DJs have grown from 1000 songs to tens of thousands of songs in just a few years.
