“It’s been said that DJ culture is universal. Certainly the variety of DJs, VJs, MCs, KJS and more out there will confirm that the sheer number of musical genres and styles of playing music are like stars in the sky — too many to count. Clearly, whether your tools of choice are turntables, CD/CD+G players, or something else, the name of the game is versatility. In the magazine game, the goal is versatility as well. The best are those that learn and grow as they go along and are not afraid to try something new if it will benefit the readers. And, since K&DJ USA Magazine is a free magazine that is of, by and for professionals in this business, everything we do is for the benefit of our readers and the industries we serve. Those who have been following the explosive evolution of this magazine know that we are commited to being the best DJ, pro audio, club and karaoke industry trade publication available, period. Oh, by the way, my name is Eric Arnold. I’ve been a DJ and music writer for a decade, and I’m the new Senior Associate Editor at K&DJUSA. You can peep a short history at the end of our cover story.”
–Eric K. Arnold
