Background

DJs Are The Cultural Gatekeepers

DJs historically function as gatekeepers — not in the sense of exclusion, but in the sense of filtration.

They:

  • sift through massive amounts of music

  • identify promising sounds

  • curate based on vibe and audience energy

  • introduce new artists to receptive listeners

Curation reduces noise.

Reduced noise increases clarity.

Clarity strengthens discovery.

Human selection adds context that algorithms often lack.
