I've seen al sorts of ads about parties that have couples of DJ's doing sets "back to back"
anyone here care to explain what "back to back" means????
thx in advance

___________________

That's when you have two DJ's spin at the same time.. first one does one (or a few) track(s), then the other, then back to the first one... That's about it...

Sasha & Digweed do it pretty good imo

My take on... (various mixes planned, updated when I can be arsed)

thank you very much for clearing that up for me!!!!
I've done that a few times..... but didn't know it's called back to back

oh! and another thing!!!
there's a situation where 2 DJ's play at the same time but not on the same set of decks.......
like, each one has his own mixer and a pair of decks...... is that back to back as well?
or what??????

[EDIT]
I'm assuming that the back to back you explained to me is 2 DJ's on the same mixer and decks.........

You mean the kind of gigs Xpress-2 do? Dunno how they call that, maybe back2back too, maybe not

ok. so what's a DJ battle??
I mean, ok. there are 2 DJs, 2 mixers, 2 pairs of decks, 2 everything...... what do the DJs do???? I mean, what makes it a "battle"? do they start slapping each other to distract their mixes and the one with the better mixes - wins??

j/k....... so what do they do?

sorry... I know those are stupid questions but I really would love some clear explainations about that stuff....

thx again........

when 2 djs spin at the same time...seperate decks and mixer is is called a 2x4...same can go for 3 djs on 6 tables...like the east coast boogie men 3x6...its gets really creative..

when 2 djs play with each other, it's known as a tag team or VS set

i've never heard anything called back to back though
that's a new term for me

and then the 2x4 with 2 of everything

I have'nt heard this set, care to just give me a hint on what in
it that was so good, i like both Scott Bond and Matt Hardwick so
Im a bit curious.

Sasha & Sander Kleinenberg did a really groovy back to back set
last new years eve, really good.
Anyways, I thought that back to back was when two DJs played one
track at a time therefor mixing into the other DJs track, but
is that something else ?

and i also did a review of the whole night for ivibes. Here is the section on Matt Hardwick and Scott Bond if you'd care to read

quote:

I thought to myself as im sure others did too, how are Scott Bond & Matt Hardwick going to follow an act like that. Well i wont keep you in suspense. They did it. And with style to! They followed Pauls set with some rather hard trancers as to not ruin the flow, one of which i remember was Marco V - Atlanta 020202. There mixing was absoloutely perfect, and they started to play some uplifters that i had never heard before. They supplied the crowd with tunes that made us able to find the energy to keep dancing. I was amazed by there set. They combined new with old, hard with uplifting, and amazing epics such as BT - Flaming June. And for the second time that night, we got to hear Gouryella - Ligaya again :-) Other tracks played included Armin van Buuren - Yet Another Day, Three drives – carrera 2, Miss Shiva - Dreams, Oceanlab ft Justine Suissa - Sky Falls Down (Armin Mix). Another track i'd like to point out in more detail is Svenson & gielen – answer the question (svesnon & gielen remix). I was amazed how great this sounded with such high bass and such fast pitch. Crazy tune! As the set came to a finish i just didnt want it to end.. EVER! People were starting to leave now. But i think it was Hardwick who jumped on the microphone wanting more. They put Push – universal nation (ferry corsten remix) on. I have not heard this track for so long, and i got goosebumps. Once again the set came to an end and i wanted to cry :-( But wait.. there was still more to come. They slapped down Planet Perfecto feat. Grace - Not Over Yet (Matt Darey Remix), a classic and memorable tune of 1999. By this time i had been awake for over 36 hours, but just couldn't stop dancing. I think it was at this point that Hardwick grabbed the microphone and shouted out: "f**k it we're going on till 9." haha :-) This was followed by Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (Marco V Remix), Rank 1 – airwave, Ayla - Ayla, and to finish off this amazing night played Chicane - Autumn Tactics. They wanted to go on, and left the crowd literally shouting for "one more, one more, one more," but Gatecrasher pulled the plug on them. haha.
