Harris begins by addressing the fundamental questions: What exactly is DJing? At its core, DJing involves the seamless transition between tracks, ensuring that audiences feel like they're enjoying a continuous musical experience. However, a great DJ prioritizes selecting music that resonates with the crowd, rather than just focusing on technical transitions.
