Agreed. Something interesting has to happen in the first few seconds |
When playing out, unless something absolutely amazing happens then yes. I think on mixes however its not quite as important.
And lets be honest, in most situations where you have a crowd in front of you, you really shouldnt be using any kind of intro. |

Is it just me or do other people find this tune really overrated? It kept coming up in track of the year 2006 etc. and it never really stood out for me.
Apart from recent times, PvD has always had good intro tunes as well as most of Oakies from 99.
The intro to Micah's Rhunsong 8 is crazy as well, and I always enjoy Aaron Slater - Alien To Me (Dub mix). I'm trashed. |

I totally disagree. A good intro completely sets the mood for what's to follow. If you're not setting a mood then you're just playing other people's music. |

I'm half n half on this one. I agree a good opening tune(beatless intro or not) is important to set the tempo and mood, but it's not totally necessary...and if you don't use a proper intro, it doesn't mean 'youre just playing other people's music'...just because you use an intro doesn't differentiate you from others when it actually comes to playing other peoples music, which is what happens 90% of the time while DJing anyways.
A clear and recent example would be Sasha's sets from the earlier half of this year. That Badger-Stop Clock gimmick was a proper intro...but did that deter him from using other people's tracks in his sets? No. Had he not used an intro of any sort, does his DJing merit diminish? No.
Put it this way: an intro of any sort is important, but not necessary. And just because you don't use one doesn't mean your DJing is less legitimate.
Just my 2 cents. And for my opening tune:
Repair - Cold Day(Isolation Mix) |
|
|
| xtr3m |
For electro and prog, relatively new:
Dusty Kid - Cowboys
D-Dub - Genesis
Roland Klinkenberg - Mesmerized |
|
|
| Stef De Roux |
Radiohead-everything in its right place (intro mix)
thats what i have it labeled as, idk who actually did this amazing intro
another one i like a lot is
vangelis-rachels song (Dj Eco intro remix) |
|
|
| WirelessEyes |
Planet Funk - Inside all the people (Sasha and Sander K opened with this tune for the 2000 EM) Oh ! It sounded so good!
BT - Fibincoci Sequence (Hybrid Remix)
Way out West - Killa
I heard Tiesto play this sic bass driven song over the summer.. It had like a 2 or 3 minute melodic bass build. I wish I knew the title
Best,
