the art of djing

Colonel K Speaks wrote a little diddy on the downfall of DJing (here) due to "amateur night" at a various assortment of bars throughout DC. So petrov had not really thought about this topic before as he can only think of one instance where he has attended a music-focused bar and heard non-DJs "spinning" aka dropping songs with no djing skills required. Its probably safe to assume that one instance was out of petrov's normal circle of outings, but it was indeed quite a sad experience. Petrov remembers trying to dance...only to find himself having to stop every 4-6minutes and readjust for a new beat (the fading and fading out of two songs simultaneously does not count as mixing).

anywho, petrov could go on, but this is just reason #34 why you should find petrov someone to teach him how to dj.
