Julio Bashmore or Jamie xx: Which DJ is your society?
Tropical house only please
We all know the characteristics of our favourite DJs, and the stereotypes of the societies on campus.
But which DJ suits your society best?
Photography – James Blake
SO much depth. You’ve got so many dimensions and you love self reflection. You’re analytical but compassionate. Capturing raw emotions in your heartfelt masterpieces.
Martial Arts – Bonobo
The ambient soundscape removes all negative energy from your being. Lose yourself in your surroundings as you repeat your kata for the umpteenth time. When you pour water into a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water into a teapot it becomes the teapot. Water can flow and it can crash. Be like water my friend.

Snow Sports – Jamie xx
Large following with a undisputable reputation and always in demand at events. Loud but chilled, experimental but consistent.
Rowing – Andy C
The stroke rate in the last 500m of your final Head of the season is fairly similar to the bpm in any of Andy C’s tracks. The cox’s rhythmic orders cutting in between the Drum and Bass of the roaring crowd. Except there isn’t a crowd at Evesham, there’s no one on the bank. That’s the sound of blood struggling to pump its way around your body fast enough.

Rugby – Martin Garrix
“Wait for the drop guys. Guys, wait for the drop.”
Christian Union – David Guetta
If you like it, then you’re a devoted member of the cause. If you don’t like it, you find the people who do like it baffling and convince yourself it must just be because your tastes are more refined than theirs.

Every time you walk into a room, you’re wearing a giant papier mache head and lighting flares. Why? Because it’s ART.
Netball – Klingande
Summer 2k13.
Cheerleading – Annie Mac
The ultimate heroines of uni sport – setting trends and throwing shapes.

Poetry – Julio Bashmore
Oh, you’re a poet? You must be really exotic, maybe even foreign. A bit of the Basque blood in you no? Wait, what do you mean your real name’s Matt Walker?
Small sided football – Calvin Harris
Just like Calvin Harris you turn up to every major fixture and you put three goals past the opposition every time. You rightly receive the plaudits in The Generous Briton after the game for a job well done, as well as some stick for your girlfriend being popular.
Dance – Avicii
From messy Wednesday nights out at the SU to forming a human pyramid in the sports hall, Dance know how to produce stand out performances when they matter.

Horse Riding – Kygo
Your first showjumping event goes well enough for you to enter another one. Three years at the Royal Agricultural College later and you’re mingling with the biggest names in the sport, pushing you into the spotlight.
Darts – Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran isn’t a DJ and Darts isn’t really a sport but no one cares. Get another stein in and bounce around when someone hits 180.
Engineering – Craig Charles
When not getting robots to fight to the death, they’re blaring out funk and soul in the lab.
