Originally posted by dinoXpress Ive started listening to, buying, and spinning a lot more genres than before and while do understand there needs to be flow and progression in a good set, in fact i really like to build a set etc etc.. have started to experiment with using a lot more genres in my mixes than than sticking to one genre.. ive heard a lot of people saying this is a big no no and hate hearing it in clubs they just think poor programming and a lot of people syaing the opposite, that they like it and enjoy a bit of well mixed and programmed variety im not talking trance and minimal house here folks, more like multiple genres of house.. bit of semi proggish electro with some minimal ish braks and if were really building or depending on energy, posibly even some lighter electro ish techno towards the ends.. thoughts? feelings?

Me is in a big mismatch of all kids of shit from all kinds of genres from all kinds
of eras.
I key my records to keep songs going together for minutes
so I am starting to feel like a mash up/bastard pop dj.
Acid house ,tech house , midnightees prog trance , deep house ,jungle,tribal techno,
dark prog house ,german minimal house , electroclash,
early rediculous rave music,
vocal radio stuff I used to spin ,
and somedays it is just great fun
In a 8hour set you can swift through all kinds of stuff

but in an hour its not gonna work .
Shit ...to be honest with you I sometimes wish I could stick to a
narrow spesific genre and be more productive.
I like people with the atittude ''this is my style''
''the labels that interest me''
''dj I look up to''
''producers I like''
''Clubs I dream to get a gig at''
The scene I want to be part at ....

People who have it all figured out
and are working towards
making this music ,getting involved with their scene,
wheather that is promoting ,producing ,djing..ect ..
I would advise people
to stick to certain sounds and develop a personal style ,
creative WITHIN a certain style of music ,
fuckin drow the line
and get productive....
altough I could be wrong lets see what other people
have to say
This is a cool thread btw...
