Rosenthal explains the difference between himself and a “request” or wedding DJ – the sort who plays whatever you want to hear – is that a real DJ is hired for their unique “sound,” and you don’t dare ask to revise their playlist. “Anybody can put a playlist together, but can you tell a story through music?” asked Rosenthal. “I liken it to cooking: you can take the same recipe, but if I use pepper more than garlic, the way I arrange it, I’m creating a different dish. I’m doing that with music. Whether it’s music that’s been played by somebody else, I’m going ahead and re-purposing it. Using the individual bass lines, vocals, whatever it happens to be, in different proportions.”
