“A really great DJ is totally capable of making a bad record sound okay, a good record sound great, and a great record sound fantastic-by the context they put them in, and what they put around them. How they steer them. They can do all kinds of tricks. A great DJ can make people spontaneously cheer just for a little squelchy noise. Which is quite insane really. A little noise like wha-wha-wha and people go, ‘Yeeeaaah!’ They can have people clapping along to a cymbal, just by the way they’re bringing it in. When it’s done well, it’s fantastic. If it’s done really well, it can be quite transcendental”
