A Note To All Contestants

I've deleted my scores file, but it's not too hard to remember what I scored so here goes....what I'm about to write applies to all the dj's who participated in this contest and although I won't win any friends with my comments please don't take them personal:
The majority of you did very well technically in your sets (i.e. volume leveling, beatmatching, cueing, etc). In fact I gave all of you guys 90's and above. The only part where you failed to get my attention was at the originality section. All the sets' build sounded similarly plateauic in nature. There was no sense of direction, structure, and flow to any of the sets with the exception of Vd's and Evelon's mixes. Deejaying is a lot more than slapping a couple tracks together in sync. DJ'ing is an art where you learn to understand people's responses to your set and make the appropriate changes. It's being able to forecast ahead of time what will work and what won't. Ultimately, you either have this gift or you don't. And remember, a set on the very least must be enjoyable no matter what mood you are aiming whether it is epic, ambient, high-nrg, uplifting, hard, and so forth.

can't speak for others but guess my structural intentions didn't translate too well in the final product... tried to start mine off slowly with more mellow/progressive tunes, build up into dancier techy numbers and finish off with epic big-room trance at the end, trying to bridge each section smootly as possible... progressing from about 136-143bpm in total

i dont think it's the best mix i've ever done but getting sense of direction & structure is always the main thing i've strived for.. would be curious to hear the ones you thought achieved it well

next time I will make a progressive set to get points in the "original" section.

Just thought that judges will be bored by a set around 128-130 bpm

Stevie you don't have to tell me that djing is more to push the sync button and play 2 tracks together

Congrats to all the contestants and Merry Christmas.

84 is not a bad score for me, I think I deserve it (i kinda paniced two times while mixing, and I didn't want to record it again). And thanx Steve for appreciating my set
