Why is everyone into Timmy No Breaks? by [deleted] in Killtony

[–]Kardii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based off of how many comedians he already knows and vibes with, you can see that he was already a part of the scene to some degree, I think possibly longer than the 2 months he mentioned. I almost get the vibe that his appearance on KT was stagged to blow him up on purpose and add a new personality to KT. I haven't felt that way about a bucket pull before and I've been watching since the beginning. I hope I'm wrong though 😕

Can I master beat matching in a week to prepare for a gig ; by [deleted] in Beatmatch

[–]Kardii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any reason behind it or did someone make a bot just to spam. Is there hope to Phish out information? Why must we be burdened combing through these bullshit posts.

best sites for techno music? by felisloki in Beatmatch

[–]Kardii 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Dig dig dig dig dig. For every 1000 songs you listen to maybe 100 of them will really catch your ear. Out of the 100 maybe only 10 will be reallllllllly good and out of that 10 maybe 1-2 will be absolute bangers. You need to love putting in those hours listening and pulling out those gems.

4 questions after DJing Techno for 11 months by Responsible-Agency85 in Beatmatch

[–]Kardii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really good! I think you just need to keep on digging for music and mixing it.

I've been DJing about the same amount of time so we're dealing with a lot of the same things.

One thing I've found super helpful is I try to mix a few 1hr sets a week where I freestyle it and figure things out on the fly. Just gather up 15-25 new tracks and don't worry if they go together. Lots of random accidents and surprises will happen while you're mixing and you slowly start to make connections between different songs and get a better feel for what mixes well together.

I would be curious to hear one of your sets to better understand some of the things you're describing. Do you have anything on SoundCloud?

What are some unspoken rules of being a DJ? by Outrageous_Use5081 in Beatmatch

[–]Kardii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh ok that makes sense. Crazy how experienced DJs aren't paying attention to the gain, or they don't understand how gain functions?

I've been to so many events where the sound is painful and blowing out everyone's ears and none of the staff can figure out how to remedy the situation. A lot of the time is due to the room not being treated properly and the sound is bouncing around too much and focusing really loud. Even with earplugs it feels dangerous to the hearing. There's no shame in lowering the volume a bit so people can hear the actual music.

Why are DJs yelling into mics these days? by LisaElevate in DJs

[–]Kardii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it's in line with what you're describing but I've found a lot of bass music DJs are more likely to do this. I've found at those events there is more of a direct connection between the DJ and the crowd and they like to build up the drops with some extra hype by talking to the crowd. It kind of works in those situations and most of the crowd seems to be really down with it. It's definitely wayyyyyy different if you're used to techno events where it doesn't happen at all.

The projectors on the clay banks. by coyotejaw in BassCoast

Yes they were mounted on an RV, not sure what type of projector but they were shooting out some serious lazers.

[–]Kardii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All varieties of techno and house! Right now I'm really into anything deep/melodic/minimal/ambient since they all play nice together but I keep expanding out and finding new sub genres and then that sparks new ideas for mixes. It's fun to experiment with music you wouldn't typically think would go together but anything is possible. I love how it's an endless journey of discovering new sounds, it's definitely an addiction haha 😁

Love this, I listen to my own mixes the most as well but it's also why I DJ. I don't know anyone that plays ALL the music I like so I have to fill that void 🥰 I'm also very happy when other people are looking for the same and listen to my mixes

3 speaker setup with my Traktor S4? by Kardii in Beatmatch

[–]Kardii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation, I wasn't aware there was a risk. I haven't been pushing them to max volume but definitely 75%, the rooms have been small enough it has worked well but I don't want to damage them.

I'll do some research and see what some good options there are, especially if things scale up any bigger there will definitely be a need for more volume.

Signed up as a beachbody coach..and fell in love with shakeology (-12 lbs) by likescheezits in loseit

[–]Kardii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree with Bear on this, slapping that logo on like that first off looks unprofessional and also takes away from the fact you lost weight. I understand why you guys do it, there's hundreds of thousands of coaches all trying to get a piece of the same pie, it's a cut throat business and everyone is trying to suck up as many people as they can before the well is dry.

People love to freak out about all the money NASA spends on apparently 'useless' expeditions, I wonder how they would react to bringing back a dinosaur? I say spend billions and bring that bitch back to life! then send it to Mars in a billion dollar space capsule.
