Do you prefer when a DJ talkes over his shows with little pieces of information or do you prefer the DJ to just stfu and play music?
I like a show with talking because i like getting information about the music, plus it feels more like 'a show' when you hear the DJ talking.
Was wondering cus i wanna know if I should start talking in my show or doesn't it just piss people off? |

i touched on this subject in a thread i made awhile ago, gdjb vs tatw vs asot.
we all started discussing dj's who chat during the shows.
i like to hear the dj talk and give information.
obviously there is a limit and i dont want to hear every track.
but hearing interesting things are good i think.
and i dont care to hear label information, or normal like "this is artist1's remix of artist2 - title.
it be nice to hear a dj say something like "i heard this dude remixed this track at 4 in the morning on jager and inspired by a breakfast from the waffle house at the beach."
hahah that would be interesting.
one thing i dont hear often is a dj talking and while doing so, showing his personality. |

its not really showing personality but tiesto often talks about how he feels about a track. Think he said "the tracks where it all begun with for me" when he played silence in his radio show. |

if i'm listening a radio show from the radio when it is broadcasted i'd prefer there to be some talking maybe (i like the unity sessions by dj orkidea on finnish ylex radio, well liked when he played good music, haven't listened it in ages anymore).
but if i download a radio broadcast later on or a ing podcast (i ing hate that term with passion:whip:) i don't want to hear any talking, then i want to hear a good mixed set, not just a bunch of tunes and some talking. |

| Well, i'm sure that little talk about the tunes are ok but not too much, cause if i want to hear talks i'll listen to the news channels or etc.... :cool: |

| On a radio show I don't mind talking as long as its short, to the point, and relevant to the track being played or the set in general |

Talk if you like, but NOT DURING THE ING MIX .
Idiots start talking when the transition kicks in, and close with the artist name/track title just as track a fades out and track b comes in.
What's the point of a Mix if the audience can't hear it? |

that made me think.
i have an above & beyond set at home, cant remember name or date.
but it opens with brian eno - ascent.
and fir the first 10 minutes it has the 3 of them answering preselected questions about governments, religion, and .
their voices, the content of what they are saying, and the tune behind it was great and i love it.
i understand that "interview talk" was layed over the intro of a few of their sets. |

armin talks like 4-5 times tops in his show every week and it seems fine with me. seems like that is the perfect amount of "talking time"
Markus Schulz only sayd stuff like, "Yours truly", or "Me-Markus Schulz on the decks." I could do w/o him talking during his show
I wish PVD could talk in english when he does his show because I can't understand anything he is saying at all
I guess a little talking isn't bad at all |

| ideally i like a podcast (not just an mp3) of a radio show with minimal talking... tiesto's club nouveau (not life) was a good example... you could follow along the podcast in itunes and see who the exact artist, remixer, and title were at any moment in time. every now and then tiesto would say something to recap the last 3 songs, tell a little story, predict what he thought would be big this year, etc. i don't want to hear djs trying to be funny or a radio "personality" and just start talking non-stop... just the essentials and a little "extra" to make me feel even that much closer to the music is ideal. |

Tell us why you chose the song, or a particular story behind it, or something interesting of that sort. Maybe a listener question during every alternate transition, but not too long that would make listeners miss the transition.
Above and beyond talk on every third mix, telling you which the previous song was, what the current song is and what the next song is. That's it. accompanied sometimes with a line like 'that blew the roof off in sydney' or 'time for something from the above and beyond vault'.
Armin talks very less, and a lot of that is taken up by shoutouts and happy birthday messages. load of .
tiesto talks in dutch, so apparently does pvd.
Eddie Halliwell is someone who tries to make it interesting |

tiesto's podcast is done in english (a day or two after the dutch version on 538), and pvd's is done in german i believe. |
