Transactions and cooperation between nightclubs (nightclubs) never seem to be new, whether it is nightclubs belonging to the same group or competing club brands, there are often deeds of cooperation (or hostility). Of course, the most conventional way of cooperation is scene exchange and DJ exchange, and these two "synonyms" are often mistaken for the same thing.

The point is, they are very similar, but not identical. In most cases, the scene exchange of the club or the DJ exchange of the club is the cooperation between the club and the club, and in a few cases, the DJs spontaneously carry out "mutual cross-processing" - but even in this few cases, the interests of cooperation are related to the nightclub enterprise, the upper group.

Electronic Music News has mentioned in at least a few previous articles that the club exchange program can make its DJs "look" very active, forming a superficial sign of a dozen or twenty tours per month, some of which can also get a good Booking performance fee; it is also good for nightclubs, it seems that there are always party guests and events.

However, the same (basically) between the transaction, cooperation, replacement, scene exchange and DJ exchange between nightclubs is different, and this difference is actually more as the name suggests (literal), so the author only defines this article as "light science", because the popular science content is not complicated. It could even be said that it is just two perspective choices in the common behavior of nightclubs.

For example, (let's assume) on December 15, 2021, the ABB Club in Shanghai and the ACC Club in Beijing have exchanged and cooperated for free, and the two will send their own employees to each other - the resident DJ of the ABB Club: CBB, and the resident DJ of the ACC Club: BCC to the other store to "act" as a guest DJ, so is the scene exchange and the DJ exchange exactly the same?

[The answer is] basically the same, but not exactly the same, depending on the perspective. If the perspective is a DJ exchange, then, Shanghai ABB Club's resident DJ: CBB, and, Beijing ACC Club's resident DJ: BCC should have a personalized performance, CBB and BCC as long as their own personal show to perform on the line, "race" their own characteristics, their own style, completely for their own performance, very as the name suggests, because it is only an exchange between DJs.

The same is the replacement (exchange) plan between the night, if it is a scene exchange, we need to adjust the angle of consideration to the word "scene". Even if the resident DJ: CBB, who is also the shanghai ABB Club, and the resident DJ: BCC of the Beijing ACC Club, have carried out a replacement plan, then the DJ CBB and DJ BCC should further consider how to show the characteristics of their own nightclubs and bring the scene of their own nightclubs to another nightclub.
Most of the domestic (and foreign) exchanges don't think too much about whether it's a scene exchange or just a DJ exchange, and for them they're just "sending their own resident DJs outside" to be a guest DJ, but there are exceptions. For example, the scene exchange of many underground clubs is really a scene exchange, and there is really an effort to display the characteristics of their own stores to other stores and other cities.

In this regard (in summary), the scene exchange is to some extent more complicated and difficult than the DJ exchange, the scene exchange is not only to let (two) DJs perform a night of "magic" performance "Metamorphosis", but also often need to show and bring out the musical style characteristics of the entire nightclub, the complete performance timeline (schedule) composed of multiple resident DJs, and even the stage features - in short, the scope of the scene is larger and contains more items.

In order to make it easier for readers to understand, in addition to some words that may be deliberately treated as slightly (more) in the vernacular as possible, let's take another example of "approachable". Suppose that two restaurants suddenly have to undergo a replacement like a club, and the essence of the scene exchange is that the dishes, specialties and even "teachings" of the two restaurants need to be brought to each other's restaurants; and if it is only the chef exchange, then what is presented is what the "landlord" has, or the chef's personal selling point.

Finally, we filled a pit that we had buried two years earlier. We always believe that DJs have their own ideas, after all, if they always use other people's means to play other people's sorted music files, it does not matter if they are not called DJs, or that they are not sorry for their profession and labor. Different Club brands also have their own scene characteristics, so perhaps they should upgrade their understanding of club exchange, so that scene exchange is not limited to, not just resident DJ exchange, (more) for electronic music lovers and sharp dancers to bring different scene parties and activities.
