Non DJ music.... What do you guys listen to in your time off?
Posted on: 20.11.2012 by Emerson Crist
So, just to breathe new life into the community s, I was wondering what kind of tunes you guys listen to when not cultivating your Traktor collection or analyzing new tracks. What do you guys listen to in the car on the way to work? What do you hum in the shower? What do you try not to nod your head to when out with friends that dont like "DJ" music?

Im currently listening to Fleetwood Mac - Landslide. Before that was Rise Against - Under The Knife, along with Incubus - Drive. Looks like Red Hot Chili Peppers is on next.

So how bout it guys? What else do you listen to?

Yeah, I have listened to Fire theft, and i don't really like it. My favorite stuff is their earlier material. That's why I like Diary so much.....raw, emotional, and the instrumentation & production is off the charts!

KoRn is still one of my favourite bands of all time. I still know almost every song from KoRn through to Issues. Untouchables was okay, then imo they started to go the route of NIN but sucked at it.

I mostly listen to house/ techno/ dnb even while driving around.

However I've always been a huge metal fan. Fave bands being
Emperor
Children of Bodom
Wintersun
Immortal
Metallica
Megadeth
Kamelot
Dimmu Borgir

I also like classic rock, mostly Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath
and when it comes to hip hop, Eminem, Dr Dre, Jay-Z (hence, J-Zed), NWA, WuTang

i love all types of music which is what got me into djing. i tend to listen to many types of electronic music but also frequent some rnb, hip hop, jazzy stuff, and my first real love was rock so here are some of the rock bands that shaped a period of my life:

blinker the star
sunny day real estate
chris cornell's first solo album (and soundgarden)
silverchair....i mean seriously, if you haven't listened to diorama or young modern you need to do so right now!
jeff buckley
ken andrews (failure, year of the rabbit, on)
the mars volta
stone temple pilots
nine inch nails
marilyn manson
muse
self (an artist that never quite broke though and i have no idea why...he's so good!)
the beatles
foo fighters
alien ant farm
spymob
tool and a perfect circle (though maynard's shit attitude during the live shows i saw and the fact that most tool fans are arseholes kept me away from them for a bit - great talent from all involved though, no doubt).
billy talent
dredg
jellyfish
blind melon
jason faulkner
the grays

i know i'm forgetting a bunch but that's what i can believe of off the top of my head. dont even get me started on the rest of the genres i love that i never quite get around to djing.

everything from 1920's styled gypsy jazz, chillout music to progressive metal and hardcore

I've been listening to Nujabes all week. I hope he's doing good up there.

I write mostly house, electro music and I'm a huge fan of the 90's, that being said...

The majority of my CD library is 90's hip-hop and Grunge. I'm also an undercover metal-head so a lot of that stuff to.

BUT, I find when driving, studying, on transit, or just chilling around the apartment it's all classical. I'm a huge fan of orchestral and symphonic music, and the last couple weeks I've been listening to lots of movie scores, by the likes of Hans Zimmer (FAV), Tyler bates, Klaus Badelt and Danny Elfman.

Didnt mean to categorize "DJ music"

Meant to say what music, other than what you DJ with, do you listen to?

Personally there's no difference between what I listen to and what I play since I'm constantly on the lookout for new music. So to answer your question; house, techno, drum and bass, dubstep, breakbeat, hiphop, ghetto funk, swing, balkan, glitchhop, pretty much anything I hear and like.

The music I listen to for pleasure mostly falls into these genres: -

R&B/soul (60s-90s mostly)
Old school and golden age hip-hop and electro
Progressive and instrumental rock

But I listen to all kinds of stuff. Here's the genres I have in my music library: -
