The Rise of the Bedroom DJ
In this article, I want to look at the Rise of the Bedroom DJ, of which there are many. I’ll also talk about some resources for the bedroom DJ, such as the royalty free music source from beatsuite.com.
There has recently been a rise in self-taught DJs and producers making it big on the music scene, with Simon Cowell announcing that DJs are the next rock stars.
Artists, such as Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Madeon, TEED, Unicorn Kid, and Skrillex are all making big names for themselves in the charts and the clubs. Below is a run-down of 3 of my favourite bedroom Djs/Producers.

Music emotion is Cheap Drug
If you check out MusicForEmotion often, you have likely seen a variety of emotional playlists that we claim will change your mood.

These conversations usually start with statements like “yo man, omg, did you hear that new band SuperBand on 99.9 Amazing Radio?
