U shouldnt need someone to make you a set, thats what your for, u should know what u like love and hate, whats new whats old and what will and wont work.

Go by your passion or your not expressing what u love.

i know, but is this set really bad?

U tell me :>

Posted by itsamemario on Aug-03-2001 20:08:

i think its nice.. starts with stringy shit and then its like uplifting all the way.. almost at least.. i think its a good set, but i want 2 hear what u guys think

just pick a lot of tracks that flow nicely together
and it really matters on the evergy that's going on inthe club that night
if it's really pumpin, a lot of nu-nrg and hard house should do the trick... imo

NU-NRG n hard house rule! dude...u r makin a playlist in advance?? umm.try this, pick some starting tracks, and have the fifth be something that end mellow, or can be cut out @ a high point. If they respond to the mellow..go mellow, otherwise...kick it into high gear, and play the bad ass tracks. Reading the crowd is your job. Do it well and they will love you!!!

Alfi....Know what you spin and love what you spin..and don't worry about what others will think.....If you love what you spin and show that you are confident, and you are there saying this is my music that I love and you will love it too, it will rub off on people...Rule number one at being a profession al DJ or anything...you know how to handle all situations....including tracklist

ok... thanx.. all ya peepz helped me alot

Posted by sot on Aug-04-2001 16:58:

alfi.....dont plan yer mix. do what ever you feel like spinning that night cuz i swear when u get to the club u will go ahh im in mood for some hard shit so u play hard shit see how the crowd moves to yer traxx. bad thing about playing all uplifiting/mellow traxx at a club is to many breaks. u gotta keep the peeps on there feet dancin the nite away so play some hard shit and some uplifting not all uplifting.

well goodluck on it

and when you guys mean hard, it is.....

Posted by djdawn on Aug-05-2001 08:58:

somewhere between Nukleuz, Overdrive, BXR and Tracid Trax, depending on the kind of "hard" YOU like.

Posted by itsamemario on Aug-05-2001 09:41:

no tidy trax?

Posted by djdawn on Aug-05-2001 10:04:

i think tidy trax is "somewhere between" those I mentioned...maybe add Axis to the list (hi Bellie!)
