A party without music is probably like soup without broth and spices; and party music without a DJ is probably like soup cooked by a person who knows nothing about cooking. All that said, I think a DJ is important in creating the mood at a party.
The DJ featured in this picture was performing his magic at the STV (a local TV station) universary celebration held on Braga Street, Bandung, sometime ago. I like the pieces of music he put together, tried to get on to the stage and asked if I could take his photograph. He didn't mind.
And here is the "street-adjusted" control panel he was operating.
Meanwhile ...

His face seems familiar to me.
BTW, thank you very much for the award unfortunately I have to say no.
No hard feeling ya ... gak ada waktu seh *halah* :D
Congratulations Eki..I found you via Dina and I am happy that I did..
Firstly thank you so much for the award and thinking of me. It' very knid of you and I accept it graciously. I will pass it onto some deserving blogs who I think often go unoticed that I would like to highlight.
Again your analogy of the dj to a party as the chef to good cooking has made me think. Never really considered the dj aspect before, but have to say yes you are absolutely spot on. It's such a natural portrait of the man and his working environment.
Eki, thank you so much for the award! I'm honored. Now I'm going to have to choose which blogs to pass it on too—difficult because there are so many that I like, and not just CDP blogs!
Great photo I LOVE music, world beat techno and electronic, I wonder what that DJ is playing...
too bad? why he looked so sad. I guess he was getting a lot of problems
Tanty: It's okay, Tanty. No hard feelings!
Michelle, Babooshka, Hilda: Thanks.
Teladan98 (Andri?): I didn't realize he looked sad ... Hmmm ... I think he was just concentrating at the music he was playing ...
