How quickly does a new song need to grab a DJ’s attention?
In this episode of RekHeard Breakerz, DJ Karyen is joined in Boston by DJ Mastermind, DJ Warlock and DJ Dutch to anonymously review new Dancehall, Reggae and Soca releases.
The panel discusses why the first few seconds of a record matter, whether a catchy hook can overcome weaker lyrics, radio potential versus club playability, and how mixing and mastering can affect a DJ’s final decision.
