Resident DJ

In the early ages of clubbing, when the first "underground" nightclubs were formed in the 70s and 80s fixed hiring was the most common practice of signing DJs, so they were all residents.

[1] "By the early 1990s the network of commercial raves and rave-style clubs of macropists had already created a closed circuit of guest DJs".

For example, it is impossible to talk about Paradise Garage without mentioning the role that Larry Levan played, or to talk about Fabric without mentioning the curatorial work of Craig Richards.In a broader sense, local DJs are also somewhat responsible for the local music scene in their city, region or country.

M. Barnes describes it for DJ Broadcast: With a greater focus on touring, there is less chance for local influences to permeate the global electronic music culture.

As a pillar of a club, the DJ can help cultivate local sounds, from subtle nuances of style to complete reinvention of genres such as Tuki music of Venezuela.
