I legit just learned that Idris Elba is a DJ. My mind is blown.

Idris Elba is without a doubt the best DJ/producer who was already a celebrity

[@Incognit0777]

He was a DJ before he became a celebrity.

[@devilhunterred]

He was a DJ long before he became a well known actor.

[@gerald7148]

Idris is my man. Shouts out from Chicago. Good job fam. Househead for life since 1973.

[@GKN_NZN]

I'm overwhelmed. He's not only an amazing actor but also an incredible DJ..... Odin would be proud of him

[@toinechin]

An amazing actor and now dj. Isn't there a thing he can't do? Thumbs up for Idris Elba. Respect all round.

[@squatrex59]

Seriously, this is my first comment on KZbin. I usually just listen for a minute and then click the next track. I am in minute 31 with no desire to leave. Idris has just been too good to scroll past. And he looks like he's having a blast.

[@StreamGawd]

Idris goes in. I always knew he was a DJ since he played Stringer Bell on hbo the wire. I just never heard his work til recently. When I heard his tracks on cyberpunk2077 something said look for youtube vids and now here I am. He gets it in. This is perfect when working from home to listen to.

[@jeannettecrowther9848]

Feeling really piss off, then found this..... back to the old days, but it 2020. He not only a brilliant actor. He’s a dab hand at the decks.. Thank you for making me feel better,there’s still a life out there.

Being part of the Delta Heavy Tour with the amazing Sasha and Johnny (Digweed) and Jimmy Van M-shit my 20s in 2002 when they did their tour-taught me what really good music is-they are amazing men-djs are people also- Idris, yes as many have said, he is an amazing actor and love his movies -his show on Netflix should’ve gone on for years -but the amount of talent he brings to the world of us who have lived thru the era of real amazing house music-IDRIS-U ARE A GOD! I have replayed many of your sets over and over and over!! To be so talented in a variety of different fields-and still be humble -I bow down to u man! CHARLIE AYO!!! Never stop spinning man-u give me life back thru all the chaos our world is sadly experiencing!! MAD RESPECT!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Yillionaire]

Check out my new mix and lemme know what you think! soundcloud.com/ycfr/afterparty-mix-ii

[@m4rvinmartian]

@OneSilentGiant Lol, can confirm. He had a new set also, for everyone that missed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5DXZ4Kme9xljMU

[@m4rvinmartian]

@@Yillionaire First track you dragged out too long. Transition to second wasn't natural. Candy shop should never be at that BPM. Transition to 4th track wasn't natural either. 4th to 5th was pretty good. 5th to 6th back to not natural again. So, in summary... you need a better mental repertoire of BPM material, need to choose your pairings better. You need to "add something" to the mixes, otherwise, this is just strung together songs. ie, you need to actually do some "DJ stuff" on the mix panels. And a 20 minute set is, 'just getting started', you need to be at 30 min at least. Look up Miss Monique. Watch the work she does on the mix panel. Also watch the Carl Cox video I posted above. Look at what he adds to the tracks played. Lastly... listen to 100 songs, write down the BPM YOU think they are at, then run them through a BPM detector and see how close you are.

I’m surprised at all the people commenting they didn’t know he was a DJ ... he’s been a DJ for over 20 yrs way before he became an actor and superstar. He’s very good, has had some sets where he has bombed and been shit but mostly he’s good and has good music selection.

he's a racist

[@alex_MCMXCV]

@@davidfelix2594 yes cuz thats true and has everything to do with music and the fact he's a DJ :D

I knew he was a DJ, but I thought it was a relatively recent thing he was doing just for fun.

[@ITALJUTE]

@@davidfelix2594 : In my experience, all a Black person has to do to be called a racist, is to openly speak against racism. And also in my experience, the people flinging the accusation are invariably the actual racists. Am I close, dave (with the small 'd')?

[@themarkanthony]

Yeah I never really seen it in the media until reading up on him on wikipedia then researching him on past performances. I wished I knew earlier because damn he's amazing. And it's strange how the whole time I'm watching him I'm thinking about him in the office lol
