When should DJ's retire?
I would just like to know peoples views as to when they think DJ's should retire. I personally feel that there should be no age limit, if you like what you do then thats that. But at what age do you think a DJ should hang up his/hers headphones

Re: When should DJ's retire?
when they can't mix two records together to save thier life.you could put an Emfire release on for 2 minutes and you would be a sleep before it finishes - Chunky
it's RA. they'd blow their load all over some stupid 20 minute loop of a snare if it had a quirky flange setting. - Tiddles

Re: When should DJ's retire?
Not able to mix and uninspired responses made me think of Oakenfold.
The bigger question is when Sasha and Digweed retire or slow down will the next generation be able to keep the music scene going?Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake - Napoleon BonaparteComment

Re: When should DJ's retire?
I didn't know there were rules first of all and since there really aren't any retired dj's (perhaps a handfull) there's no precedent, rock star's don't really retire why would djs be any different?
When 85-year-old Melboune DJ David McLeish talks about "mixing it up", he does it with the poise of a seasoned professional.
McLeish cites a genuine love of music and a well-grounded sense of feeling - and acting - much younger than his years as reasons for his continued success as Melbourne's oldest DJ. "I certainly don't feel 84", he says. "And even if I did, I'd still be doing this because I love it and I don't know what I'd be doing otherwise."
It was fun while it lasted...

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.Comment

You had me all excited then, but he's a radio Dj who plays classical and jazz!! No wonder I haven't a seen him playing out anywhere!!I didn't know there were rules first of all and since there really aren't any retired dj's (perhaps a handfull) there's no precedent, rock star's don't really retire why would djs be any different?

Re: When should DJ's retire?
When DJ Staples like Tiesto, Oakenfold, Sasha, Digweed, Cattaneo, Pappa, Deep Dish etc etc etc retire, I've no DOUBT the newer DJ's of today will be able to take the reigns successfully. Look at virtual prodigies like Zabiela and Holden. Kiki, Ellen Allien and Claude Von Stroke are ruling the minimal scene along with hundreds of others. I think the change is going to be sad but extremely exciting; just as the entire scene changed around 1990, so too will it change soon enough again and if history is any logical beginning point, it'll only get better
....personally, I'm not looking to see oakenfold trying to DJ for much longer. but thats me. *shrug*Comment
