DJ Haytek Review
Personally I think all DJ’s sound the same. I mean, on some level all they’re doing is playing someone else’s music. They’re basically glorified cover artists with really good sound systems.
But DJ Haytek really seems like something different. I must admit he jumped out to me because I noticed 10 people sign up for his mobile club on his first day of posting his Broadtexter widget on his Myspace page. But then when I listened to his music, I understood why so many people take an interest in what this guy does. Maybe it’s the specific songs he chooses to play but it seems like he finds songs that are incredibly unique and hard to find. He also manages to mix things up in a way that I have never heard before. He puts rhythms together that you normally think would never work - and somehow they do.
He’s also not afraid to just let a good song play and not feel like he has to mix all over it. I always say - “A good musician knows when not to play”, and DJ Haytek seems to understand this. Check him out for sure!
