The mixing the songs from the same artists reminds me of this tracklist from this guy called DJ Denmark where their was about 5 or 6 brooklyn bounce songs together, it wasnt some brook bounce special or sumfin either.

if you're a good photographer, and got a nice camera you don't need to be inside the booth for good pictures...unless for some reason you want the close up so close so you can see the dj's nose hairs!

Originally posted by zizack I disagree. I would say don't play his / her newly released stuff, or one of their big tracks, but playing an older track of theirs that they wouldn't ever play is ok. I opened for Noel Sanger a couple months ago and played his "Breathe Here and Now" kind of as a complement to him. Its a few years old so I knew he would never play it. I didn't see it as me trying to steal his thunder and steal the show.

hhmm, I know the bigger named djs still play their classic tracks, like PVD and ferry will toss on old ones. I'd just tend to avoid it altogether.

DJ Taboos... hmmm.. let me think.

Stealing time from another DJ... No better way to make yourself unpopular. Always comunicate with other DJs.

Don't try and jump on early... so above.

Don't stop the last track of the previous DJ as soon as you come on.

Don't disrespect your timeslot. DJ's a clubbers alike will hate you for it.

Don't get pissed at other DJ's or blame people in the booth if you had a shit set unless something they were doing actually interfered with your mixing. (i.e. start unplugging the mixer half way through my set just to hook up your laptops for a sound check ('It came from the sea'... Nice blokes but didn't help me much he he ).

Don't start telling other DJs what to play.

Don't comment on another DJs mixing saying that's a bit out when it's not.

Don't comment on another DJs mixing saying it's out when it is. He has a job to do and will either learn from the experience or correct it as he probably (Well hopefully) heard it before you did.

As for playing tracks from the same producer back to back... if it's making the people move and be happy then you would be a fool not to do so. Chances are that a lot of the people in the place wouldn't know it's the same producer anyway.

Cheers

Has it occurred to you perhaps she's looking for different angled shots?

has it occured to you that it was said in a half sarcastic tone...regardless on a serious note...we both know that a dj booth is not that big, and having a photographer in there, taking photos with a flash (why?...well most of the clubs i've been there is not enough lighting for pictures)...therefore having the flash in your eyes while working isn't something i'd like...
anyhow it's just another person in the booth that will take up space and won't help the set, nor the show....if she wants pictures she can take them from outside b/c then she catches the crowd (not that form the booth she won't), or she can take them after the show with the dj when he's not under any stress...

so for a different angle i don't think it's worth while to disturb someone at work, let him entertain the mass of people that have showed up and respect the space he needs to do so

Well if you want to be smartass about it, tones aren't reflected when it's typed.

I don't really see your point because your statements either gross generalizations or assumptions.

"we both know that a dj booth is not that big" -- Not all booths are small. Club Space in Miami has nice sitting area beside the DJ area. It just so happens, the main edm club in Atlanta, Eleven50, can have a large DJ booth of the promoter's choosing.

Your whole point of blinding a DJ while in the booth with photography is really moot because almost all shots from within the booth are from behind and the side of a DJ's vision. The real blinders are flashes from the front, outside of the booth. Regardless, no one likes a flash in their eye, it is their job as a professional DJ to ignore it the best they can and continue.

To your point, no a photographer does nothing to help a DJ set but those angled shots aren't for the DJ in the first place. Those shots used by the promoter, DJ management, the club and various published and online magazines. So you see how important it is for her to be in the booth doing her job.
