David Guetta: Playing Bangers Isn’t Enough—You’ve Gotta Know How to Perform If You Want To DJ

Anyone can play hits, but does that actually make you a DJ? David Guetta says that reading the room and rocking the crowd takes more than just curating a setlist and dropping bangers—you need stage presence, energy, and a style that sets you apart. You need to be a performer, a true entertainer. Subtitles: "What makes a good DJ, I think, is to be able to rock the crowd, but with your own style. Cause if you're gonna be just a crowd pleaser, everybody can do that. You know, you're not gonna get special because you just play all the hits. You have to work the crowd. You have to do it with your own type of music. You have to, yes, be a performer, I guess. And also now the only way to be famous internationally outside of the repetition you can get in your city is to create your own music." Source: Larry King
