Why DJs should not stick too closely to a pre-planned playlist.

While having a pre-planned playlist can be helpful for ensuring that you have a selection of songs that work well together, it's also important to be flexible and responsive to the needs and preferences of your audience. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Reading the crowd: Every audience is unique, and what works for one crowd may not work for another. By being open to requests and adjusting your playlist on the fly, you can better gauge what the audience is responding to and adapt accordingly.
2. Creating a dynamic set: A DJ set should be more than just a sequence of songs. By being flexible and incorporating unexpected or spontaneous choices, you can create a dynamic and engaging experience for your audience.
3. Showcasing your skills: DJing is a creative art form, and by deviating from a pre-planned playlist, you can showcase your skills and ability to mix and match tracks in real time.
4. Keeping it fresh: Even if you have a killer playlist, playing the same songs in the same order at every gig can become stale and boring. By mixing things up and staying open to new possibilities, you can keep your sets fresh and exciting.
