Resident DJs may not always match the stardom of global headliners, but a great resident DJ is a vital part in shaping the sound of any club community.

In this panel we’ll discuss what makes a good resident; the ability to warm up for a guest, how to read a room, the pressure and pleasure of finding new music, and why local club communities are still important in a global age.
