Spanish DJs Debate: Personal Taste vs. Audience Engagement

In a recent interview, two Spanish DJs offered contrasting perspectives on music selection. DJ Mowlihawk emphasized the importance of playing music he loves, stating, "I always listen to what I play; I don't listen to what others listen to." His colleague, however, highlighted the need to understand the audience, noting the importance of "knowing what works and what doesn't." This highlights a common tension in the music industry: the balance between artistic expression and commercial success. While Mowlihawk's approach is artistically driven, his colleague's approach is audience-focused. Both perspectives offer valuable insights into the complexities of DJing.
