sezzy im with you. Sure there are a few exceptions, such as strictly hard trance DJs, or strictly progressive DJs, who are billed to play at a normal trance event.... they would either need to be last or first...
but generally your 'trance trance' DJs in Australia tend to be able to play the full spectrum of sounds...... or at least in some way or another, play more than just melodic and uplifting.
So, if we are booked to play first, we play what we love, but we don't play the banging end of what we love. Inversely, if playing later, we play our banging stuff
having said that, when I play... even if the guy before me bangs it out.... I'll usually adapt and play accordingly from where he left off, then carefully progress the set down (or up) to where I want it, then move on from there, especially where musical progression is the main factor of the night, rather than focusing on me as a DJ (or any of the other DJs). However, if its a night that is focusing on the main act, then I think the main act can start off on whatever he wants, regardless of wether its the same speed as the guy before him..... and in those instances, you would expect the support acts to be able to play adequately to match the styles of the special guests etc..
sheesh I can ramble on |
