2- jesus pose (hear that armin?)
3- 2 heavy vocals mixed back to back (some housier stuff can do it)
4- talking over the mic during your set

Armin stands up tall during the middle of a massive breakdown (he especially enjoys doing this at outdoor festivals), and sticks his arms and legs out as if he's being crucified. Quite a few of the dutch superstars, with egos the size of Kuwait enjoy doing this.

I'd also say that they musn't attempt to scratch unless they know that they're bloody good at it, because otherwise it sounds hopeless. Eddie Halliwell can do it, but most people can't.

I've also seen Tiesto do this!


but one question why do you consider two hard vocal tracks back to back a taboo?

maybe not taboo, but you need to be very careful that the 2 vocals dont layer over one another.

i get what you mean...can't have the vocals overlap...

i dont agree with the 2 heavy vocal tracks not being back to back. i have heard it done very well.
i know a guy that went from one track singing to teh next track singing in a row. one stops singing the other starts. is was quite cool. i also heard him do a duel vocal overlay and it sounded sweet. ill see if i can remember which mixset and post the clip to show you.
i do agree that you should generally not talk over your mixing.

i see no problem with popping vocal tracks right after each other. Its pretty easy to do it right and make it sound good.


Jesus pose, can work to get the crowd going, but there are many many other moves to do. SO yea, 86 the jesus.

if you are an opening dj, don't play tracks from the dj your opening for. And don't try to show up the other dj by playing a high energy set the whoel time. Your there to warm up

i am sure there are more, like letting records play out til silence...and trainwrecking....and overused effects....but I got lazy.

the worst taboo for me would be DJs trying to mix when they know they cant.

for example the other night i heard a DJ try to mix Beyonce onto the end of Born Slippy

i can best describe the sound as a grenade going off in a firework factory. with all the fireworks going off, a stray hits a small jet causing the pilot to lose control and thus crashs into the factory. awed by such a site, one driver took his eye off the road to gaze at the spectacle..... SMASH! he rams straight into a passing car. the two owners of the cars get out and start arguing very heatedly until they finally come to blows. a crowd gathers around the two brawling men to watch. most of them are shouting lager lager while one bitch in the background is going on about being crazy in love.

just pissed me of ya know?
