i'm new to the whole dj'ing scene, and i was wondering...
If you're listening to a dj on a radio show/ live show/ whatever,
say you hear two songs that mix fantastically. Is it wrong to mix the same two songs in a row at a show/ in a set? |

| Not at all. Why would it be? If it sounds ing awesome, I would personally love to hear it in a club. You can't copyright "mixing". |

Quite the opposite! When you mix your aim is to get tunes that sound well together, to get a flow going. Of course you need progression etc in a set, but the idea when you're mixing is to try and mix tunes that mix well together. I mean what do you want? tunes that don't mix well together!?
I don't know why you say Plagiarism? Maybe you simply don't understand what this word means (?)... :) |

I think you've missed that he's talking about copying a certain sequence of tunes that another DJ did...
e.g. if I saw Armin playing track X and mixing it into track Y, if I didn't think he was a complete pillock I might decide it sounded amazing, go and buy track X and track Y and try and mix them in the same way.
I think it's fine if it's not a particular trademark/signature mix of a particular DJ... but try not to let that guide your track selection too close to another DJ's just for the sake of a good mix ;) |

Can you explain what you mean by this?
As far as I know, plagiarism is when you use someone else's idea (i.e. mixing song X and song Y) and claiming it as your own.
Obviously if you just play it during a set at a club you aren't explicitly claiming to the crowd that this was your own original mix invention. However, if you were producing a mix CD and you did this I would consider that plagiarism, unless you included some sort of citation which gave credit to the original creator of the mix (LOL). |

| No, plagiarism is using another's work and claiming at as your own. |

Certainly in the academic world it extends to using someone else's idea as well... if you write a technical document and make a statement without saying what your source was, it can be construed as you claiming the idea as your own, which is usually considered as plagiarism. |

Never copy a transition. In fact don't even play a track that another DJ has ever played. Ever.

I go even further, even if I just think theres a small chance someone somewhere who is a dj might have played that tune once in any location ever. So pretty much anything I think anyone else would like, I will not play as they might be a dj which would ruin the track. This is why I have begun spinning trance, there is absolutely no way anyone would like and therefore play this(unplagairised however) . Previously I was playing speedcore, but thats become too commercial. |
