A club, more often than not, is four walls with some tables, chairs and a bar. The Club DJ is what creates the atmosphere for that venue. Setting the vibe and controlling the energy level is critical to a club's success. Sound quality, music selection, lighting & visuals is what is going to keep people in an establishment and spending money, which is the key element in a club environment. The good club DJ will raise the energy as the night progresses, building hype, while also rotating the people who are on and off the dancefloor. This is done by playing different tracks or genres of music to bring a different group of people on the dancefloor and send the current dancers back to the bar for a refreshment. A good DJ is always watching the patrons, watching to see how they are reacting to the music, do they look like they are having fun or are they stone faced and bored. They will also alert security to any issues that arise. A good club DJ will play the music that is best for the club's interests, not what he wants to play.
Contrary to a lot of club Owner's and Manager's perceptions, a good DJ may not necessarily draw a lot of people to a venue by their name alone but they will keep the people who come there longer and make the club more money than a lower level DJ.
