DJs

People playing records to rooms. Booth footage, sets, back to backs, and the craft itself: mixing, programming a night, reading a floor. Held deliberately to under a tenth of this archive, because DJ set footage is effectively infinite and would otherwise crowd out everything that explains where the music came from. What is here favours sets with a documented time and place over generic recent uploads.
