Why We Dj: Slaves To The Rhythm

While many into dance music think DJs must have the best life constantly touring across the globe, the truth is it’s actually hard going. There’s constant strain on the body with late nights and subsequent early flights. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not all just partying.

In a new documentary by site DJsounds for Amsterdam Dance Event, they explore - along with Luciano, Carl Cox, Seth Troxler, B-Traits & more - exactly what it’s like for today’s ‘high flying rockstars’.

“It’s a crazy life… I think there’s an expiration date on your own sanity and trying to keep human with being a DJ.”—Seth Troxler

Taken from the ADE site program:
