DJ TLM: DJs Should Learn How to Play Longer Sets
While veteran DJs may be used to playing longer sets, new DJs might not be getting the same experience. Promoters have started booking more DJs per event, which means each DJ ends up with a shorter time slot. But there are a lot of skills that DJs can only learn by rocking a party for more than an hour.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Share the Knowledge, DJ TLM talks about the advantages of playing longer sets and why promoters should book fewer DJs per event.

DJs Should Learn to Use Different Equipment
Many DJs have a certain set of equipment that they’re most familiar with. However, the gear you practice on in the studio might not be available at the club you’re performing at. But as long as you know how to use all the basic features, you should still be able to rock the crowd.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Share the Knowledge, DJ TLM talks about why DJs should get familiar with different types of equipment.
How to Prepare for a Freestyle DJ Set

On this episode of DJcityTV’s Share the Knowledge, DJ TLM shares tips on how to select the right songs during your freestyle set.
DJs Shouldn’t Be Afraid to Be Themselves
Many DJs develop the habit of only playing popular songs. But while it can be easier to stick to crowd-pleasing hits, there are benefits to introducing audiences to music they may not have heard before.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Share the Knowledge, DJ TLM encourages DJs to set themselves apart by playing more than just hit songs.
How Much Should DJs Adjust the Pitch of a Track?
Since the introduction of the master tempo feature in DJ software, DJs have had a lot more freedom when it comes to adjusting the pitch of a track. But there are limits to how much the pitch can be changed before it affects the vibe of a song.
On this episode of DJcityTV’s Share the Knowledge, DJ TLM discusses why DJs should be careful when using the master tempo feature.
