Uganda’s Top Deejays

Who are Uganda’s Top 10 Deejays?

Considering the stiffness and growth of the entertainment industry in Uganda, the competition is not only left for the musicians but also the Disc jockeys. The Djs are also becoming more and more competitive today that some of these have taken steps into working as groups. Looking at group Djs like Ultimate Djs,  House of DJs and Platinum Djs, the deejaying talent is growing day by day as many efforts are being pulled together to lift up these people especially within the entertainment industry. This is also being spearheaded by those we call superstars at Deejaying in Uganda. Identifying and selecting the best Dj in Uganda might be rather a hard task as different people have different tastes and preferences. The different Djs are also good at specific kinds of music.

As long as a DJ masters and knows how to blend his music well, and looking at the music trends today and of course over the years, those Djs good at live mixes would surely rank in top positions. I watched a movie and the principle that the young man trying to develop his DJ career uses, surely left me amazed. It requires one to play and mix music in relation to a human’s heat beat. The more you increase the speed to about 120 beats per minute, then you can be sure of capturing some’s musical soul to keep them on their feet all the way.
