Talking to those DJ's out there, what are those damn tracks that you just can't stop throwing down. It seems to happen every once in a while big name DJ's too, (e.g. Rank 1 Airwave). Everyone has em', everyone wants to play them. I want to know what some of those tracks are that you heard when they were huge, and you still continue to add them to your setlists.
Mine,
DJ Tiesto - Flight 643
Yahel - Voyage
Faithless - We Come One
Marc et Claude - Lovin' You |

couldnt agree more mate.. I buy about 10 tunes a week so there so need to play the old stuff... only when crowd really need it.
Sometimes to fresh is a bad thing... depends where you play and how educated the crowd is... |

| I saw Armin last friday, he did an awesome set filled with the latest releases and then finished with veracocha - carte blanche. It was an excellent way to say good night:D |

hmmmmmmmmm
There are not enough great records that come out week to week to put toghter really good sets of all new music. Even Armin Van Buuren can't do it for ASOT. I think anyone who says they play all new music and thats it is just playing alot of filler () music. What wrong with the classics? |

awesome thread idea, its too bad it got ruined so fast. theres nothing wrong with dropping your favorite tracks in almost every set you play... thats personally what gives me a huge smile - when i drop that one ive been waiting for all night! as for the people on these boards that were so quick to reply..
1. not everyone can afford to go out and buy 10-20 records a week. alot of us have other lives to carry on outside of being a DJ, i.e. school, family, job, etc.
2. that is the point of the endless cycle of buying new and new records, only to play them out for a month because then they are deemed "old"?
the bottom line, in my opinion (and feel free to comment on it), it this...
stay true to the tracks you love and to the style you love. If you drop that same old track from '98 every set you play, who cares. As long as you are having fun and show it, the crowd will also have a good time. Not everybody is playing out to a crowd of trance addicts that download the latest mp3s and know exactly what every dj is playing and not playing. And also, the whole scene isnt trance, theres alot more going on out there, so when you get caught in a lineup of jungle, drum and bass, disco house, etc. and you are the proggy trance guy, get out there and show them what the trance is made of! not just the latest tracks so that in your head you feel like you are on top of the game.. that, stay true to whats going on inside your head.
amen. bash away |
i agree 100%!
i don't get what's the hurry to get new tunes and play only new tunes. IMO that's a bit stupid! it doesn't matter if the tune is from 1492 and played MANY MANY times as long as it is GOOD, i think that new tunes are essential and so are older tunes too! |

If a track is good, is good also if it's very old, the age of a track and the quality of a track are two different things. The choose of the track to spin is based on own taste and not on the age of the tracks. A dj isn't a juke-box who play the latest track...
