no electro, no breaks, no epic trance. |

| I actually think it would be cool to play stuff like the Macarena and the Chicken Dance, the Shuffle and Cha Cha Slide and play some polka, mixed in with early 90s boy bands like New Kids On The Block, and maybe even later 90s stuff like Backstreet Boys and N'sync, and some Britney Spears, and play some Madonna (Like A Virgin...maybe Vogue) and Boy George/Culture Club (Karma Chameleon), Gloria Estefan (Bad Boys), Ricky Martin (Livin' La Vida Loca!) and Villiage People (YMCA, Macho Man) and Michael Jackson (Thriller, Beat It) and maybe put in some Barry Manilow and Rod Stewart or some Elton John! Oh and I have to slam some Mc Hammer on there as well..."Can't Touch This!" |

Rght now, I'm playing more Prog House and Prog Trance. Couple months ago I was 100% trance. What a roller coaster ride dj'ing is. It's fun! :D |
- Two years ago I was "spinning" (Traktor) 145 BPM Trance
- One year ago, 135 BPM House
- 10 months ago, 128-132 BPM House (now with CDJs)
- Three months ago, 120-130 BPM Minimal and Progressive House
- Now, 128-135 Minimal, Progressive House, Breaks, Techno
And it'll probably change again in the next couple of months. |

If at a rave, I would spin a good flow of epic and progressive stuff but probably mostly epic/melodic trance.
If at a small club or lounge, would probably spin more house. |

Trance live is so kiddy/nerdy
How many big room anthem style tracks can you listen to ?? yelling Tiesto or Armin with hands in the air ??
Id rather listen to some dirty basslines |
Oh off. If you think trance and house are all about big room anthems you're an idiot. |

I'd play country remixes, maybe some breakbeat remixes of skynrd thrown in there too. I'd grow a mullet, wear a cowboy hat, and play in those types of venues that have mechanical bulls in the corner, muahahahah. Add in some gimmicky record scretching, tiesto jesus poses, scratching some records with my nose while im drunk, great fun man.
Imagine a dillinja like DnB remix of that toby keith song where he goes "We'll put a boot up your ass its the american way" that would rock some friggin dance floors, I could go all over the states with that sound!
edit: that would have been more funny if I posted before spirit, damnit!
On a more serious note, I would play ameteur microsound and trancey tunes with a computer, and if I got good at it I would start throwing in my own live loops and reworks and stuff like that. I do have some ideas for how to make the digital dj concept a bit more charismatic and enjoyable for a dancefloor crowd, but it would take a bit of engineering to pull off, and maybe some inprovements in today's technology. Instead of hiding behind a computer screen it would use a kinda cyborg like interface, which I think I could pull off if I had a team of people as crazy and geeky as me who were willing to conspire.
I can understand that todays crowds favor this bass heavy ditry boomy proggy style, but as hard as I try to get into it, I just can't make it fit. I imagine t club setting isn't the best context for the type of thing I want to do, but I want it to be dancable, it would definately favor a specific audience and a specific type of venue. |

Yeah I know, it was a lot funnier than mine but I tried...:nervous:
Thats awesome! I think it would be cool to have a DJ as a Grim Reaper type guy with a mask and or just hidden in some cloak and no one knows who he is. He'll just play stuff and they have no idea who this DJ guy is, he'll just go by some symbol like prince did or some really crazy name, maybe call him "DJ Grim Reaper" or something and maybe he can play some really creepy halloween music...with like screaming, baby's crying and stuff breaking and some really ghostly voices...he wouldn't say a word all night, just play that god damn freaky , like some of Future Sound Of London or Aphex Twin type stuff... |
