-- Tracklisting in a Set

Tracklisting in a Set

might be dumb to ask but...

is it bad to have 2 tracks in 1 set that are remixed by the same artist??

i know i would never put 2 tracks by the same artist..... is this the same??



in case you are wondering what tracks...

NuFunk (Deadmau5 Remix)
Community Funk (Deadmau5 Remix)

why would there be anything wrong with that? you are the dj, right?

I'm sorry, but you can't. It's against the DJ Code.

who cares, my latest mix starts like this,

minilogue - the leopard (extrawelt remix)
minilogue - little sisters (d-nox & beckers remix)
udaye rana & james harcourt - wired (sam ball remix)
sam ball - yes/no

so as you can see theres alot of the same names floating around there, but it sounds good, and i like the tunes, and that's all that matters.

theres no rule


just move the dance floor

Dude, it doesn't matter at all. Some DJ's who think they're elite will make the claim that they're better than everyone else b/c they won't play the same artist in a set ever. IMO, if that's the best thing you have to brag about, you're not nearly as good as you think you are.

ok thanks guys...lol...now i am guilt free

Well said.

I once played an 45 or so of Elektrochemie to start off my mixing with.

Generally I put max 2 tracks/remixes per producer for first hour, and 1 per every hour after.

Exception being you're a producer and you're pimping all your tracks

i don't like playing tracks or remixes by the same artists after each other. IMO it's kinda "the easy way out" as they'll probably go much better together than 2 tunes from totally different producers.
also playing too much from the same producer in a set might end up sounding a bit samey so i try to avoid that too.
but that's just me though.

+1
ull probably bore the crowd as well if u do it too much in a row


but its to DJ discretion and there are definitely tons of exceptions

Both are awesome choons ... i wouldnt play them back to back either

I wasn't thinking back to back....i woundn't do that....just play them both within the same set.

Who cares man. I usually go

Artist A - Track Title
Artist A vs Artist B - Track Title
Artist C - Track Title (Artist B remix)
Aritst C vs Artist D - Track Title

It allows for some very smooth transitions.

exactly my thinking!

if it sounds good, doesnt make everything sound the same and you like it then who gives a shit wot anyone else thinks. of course, if this is for the purpose of a mix for u to listen to then it is a totally different scenario as to if u were playing in a club lol

conclusion: in ur house play wotever the fuck u like
