Tracklist is prepared and tested, each track for transitions and ofcourse i always have extra tracks. If one track doesnt have hats and in other ones finish it will be big sudden change in energy i noticed. I love mixes more dynamic, not just fullpower beatmatch every trackĪlso if i have hats on track A i will have on track B too, just ofcourse with some EQing.
For more cleaner mixing and transition i mix one track with example only kick in another with only kick or kick in bassline. If i have muddy kick on track A i will have smiliar in track B. And then i look track A and track B thats coming to have smiliar kicks and energy. But i love them prepared, so first of all i look first track with interesting intro to make a little break and announce that new mix is coming, not jsut to start with filter like todays music, first second with kick bass. And sometimes i dont prepare anything just play what i think its good in exact moment.
When needed or i think is needed i put it outro/intro because crowd and myself need chilly parts without beats, and after 1 minute of no beat crowd just cant wait to explodeįor selecting track its long process. i love smooth transition but not very long, 15-20 sec max and it doesnt to have that every track is beatmatched. so i play from traktor from time to time on my/our parties when needed or requested by crowd.Īs for mixing i dont like putting effects as tracks are already filled and good, for effects i can use phaser or flanger when there is no good enough uplifter to put accent on coming drop etc. I know DJing but i am not dj and due to no time i have no time to practice on players even if i know them. My music collection is nearing 14000 tracks so even if I know it quite well I still need to do some digging to find suitable tracks (and tracks I haven't played that much). A flat line would be the most boring thing everĪnd at this point I actually need to do some planning if I want to play a satisfactory set. It can have lots of different shapes depending what I'm after for a particular set, but it's still always a curve.

And also, I can't beatmatch by ear for shit so the laptop is rather necessary especially when playing goa, but in the end it's a tool and doesn't exactly do anything automatically (because I've set my software not to do any of this).Īs for the structure of the set, I think of it as a dramatic curve. This style of mixing would be a bit tricky (if not impossible) to do with CDJs. And even if I don't do much tempo sync I like to align measures when transitioning from one track to another, and not just play intros/outros on top of each other (because I usually like playing tracks practically from start to finish).Īnd yes, I use a laptop. Of course I don't usually do completely ridiculous tempo changes from one track to another (but it happens sometimes if I'm feling adventurous).
I don't do much tempo sync but prefer mixing tracks in keys that go well with each other. I have quite an eclectic style of DJing, especially when it comes to playing downtempo (which is still my forté and my preference).
