After Hours

46.6%

46.6% of DJs have decided their first name is the whole story, leaving the rest of us to guess whether "jani" is a typo or a lifestyle.

James (81), Alex (77), David (62), Mike (59), Daniel (53), Max (51)

The census confirms that “Dave” is less a name than a deeply held secret shared by 383 of our most prolific selectors.

16.5%

One in six DJs is simply screaming at you, and the other 83.5% are just hoping you can spell OZB without the caps lock.

3.0%

3.0% of you are still just 'DJ' plus a noun, which is less a name and more a job description with a side of confidence.

2.1%

The gratuitous umlaut claims 2.1% of the population, which is just enough to make Rostøm feel seen and everyone else feel slightly judged.

5.1%

5.1% of DJ names are pure math, because 4DJFly, DJA100, and sauce084 outrank Iñaqui González in the algorithm’s heart, while CONSCIOUS PILATE B2B SLAG remains a beautiful, unquantifiable outlier.

3.8%

Three-point-eight percent of DJs just really need you to hear the first syllable twice, and honestly, Carl Craig and Blake Baxter are too busy being legends to stutter.

black×40, acid×27, angel×21, night×14, dark×11, raw×11, cosmic×9, nova×8

The data suggests a scene that is 40 parts black, 27 parts acid, and 21 parts angel, which is either a very specific apocalypse or a very well-rounded party.

'V' … 56 chars

V is the whole set, and The New York Record Club for The Advancement of The Arts is the footnote—proof that brevity and bureaucracy both spin at the same speed.
