Mmmm I can't vote... It depends how different the tracks are from each other, like, if you play in the same set
Blank & Jones - Desire (Original) & Blank & Jones - Desire (Bart Claessen) or Lasgo - Alone (extended) & Lasgo - Alone (shog) [Hey that was just an example y'all ;)], then I'm against it, unless it's a really long set or something.
But if you put Cosmic Gate - The Truth (Original) and The Truth (Ferry Corsten) or Svenson & Gielen - Twisted (Energy, Original) and Svenson & Gielen - Twisted (Jacob and Manendez) then there's barely a connection between them so no problems with me, it's like asking me if I'm against or not playing simply the same track. |

| Well you'd definitely usually want to avoid this. But I agree with oDrori that if the remix is very unique it might be ok. |

| Just check out the playlists of some of the best DJs. Quite often, two mixes of the same song are put in. I do the same when i burn my mix CDs, there are often 2 mixes there. Again, as long as the mixes are sufficiently different, and they sound good, thats all that matters. |

| Different mixes of the same track in a set is ok... as long as they sound very different. I don't want to be listening to a set and be thinkin DAMN IVE ALREADY HEARD THIS!! But if the two mixes sound completely different, like the Original and Fridge mixes of Taucher - Pictures of a Gallery, then it's cool with me. Not do the two versions sound different and have completely different build-ups, they are much different stylistically. I once recorded a set where I played these two mixes BACK TO BACK... my friends just thought I had done a really superb job blending the vocals (opera-style singing) from one song to the next and making it sound awesome - they had no clue it was two different versions of the same track. It also worked as a great transition from melodic trance (Fridge Remix) into some more hard-hitting stuff (Original). :) On the other hand, I once heard a set by Paul Oakenfold (I think it was from Home @ Space in Ibiza) where he played two different mixes of the same track... by the time I heard the second one it was kinda old. (Sorry I have no clue what the track was) So, in some situations it can work, but most of the time it sounds lame. Anyways, thats my two cents :D |

If it fits the mood of the set, go for it.
If its Darude, don't. |
