DJX ‘26 Education: Mike Walter & “The Greatest Songs Ever”

After his 2018 effort, “On This Date In Music,” the New Jersey-based DJ/author recently followed up with “The Greatest Song Ever?” — and at DJX ‘26 will discuss all-time tunes for DJs.

Atlantic City, N.J. – When he’s not running his successful DJ company and rocking parties, Mike Walter is writing books about the music he loves. After his 2018 effort, “On This Date In Music,” the New Jersey-based DJ/author recently followed up with “The Greatest Song Ever?” For music fans and especially DJs, Walter’s book asks a very basic question: What makes a great song? To find out, he runs thru 40 songs by offering anecdotes and compelling arguments about what makes them all great. At DJX’26 on Aug. 10, Walter and DJ LIFE Editor Jim Tremayne will discuss the book’s all-timer tunes for the DJ community.
