Mark Ronson believes that writing a memoir about his early experiences in DJ culture allows him to capture the authentic, visceral feeling of the craft that a successful, established star can no longe

“I wanted to write it about the time when I was still coming up and like I said because of the the way that I so love the kitchen confidential just like the visceral feeling of New York and the lunacy of working at night and the you know all these >> crackhead club owners who think that they know bet”

Kid Capri believes that a DJ's primary professional obligation is to engage the audience, hype the crowd, and ensure they feel better than when they arrived.

“Well, I don't pay. But when you go to see somebody on the stage, your whole idea is you want to feel better than you did before you got there. And that's the job to do.”

The primary goal of performing is to genuinely connect with the audience through a shared passion for music, rather than for wealth or fame.

“I don't really care about Fame what I want is my music to be successful like I love that every time I've been on an Uber they're playing my music every time it's it's crazy and and I I see those guys they they don't know it's me”

A DJ should prioritize taking the audience on a musical journey rather than exclusively playing the most popular radio hits.

“I'm definitely uh one who try to take you through a musical journey when I DJ.”

A skilled DJ is capable of breaking music by playing in strip clubs, which can lead to success in high-profile clubs.

“If you a DJ who who can make a move like that in the strip club, you're going to be so big. You're going to get jobs in every club on South Beach. This is how it works.”

DJs have significantly downgraded their own importance in the music industry by shifting their focus from talent discovery to personal business interests.

“The DJs downgraded their significance in the game. Yeah. That's why when the internet came out and [ __ ] seen, you know what? [ __ ] them [ __ ] I ain't got to go through them [ __ ] no more.”

Modern DJs are highly skilled despite some people making fun of them.

“These DJs get made fun of but you know Oh they're super talented.”
