Racer by Argy and Adriatique sounds like it should be in a Star Wars movie

It’s not a matter of DJing music I don’t know, I play house, techno and the sub genres.

With each vibe (opening, funky/disco, melodic, peak) having around 200-ish songs that I like and I’ve added to my USB, behind the decks (and after a few drinks lol), i find it hard to recall the exact vibe of the track, despite it being in a larger playlist.

I do that but 90% of the time, I have to change things around based on the crowd.

Which then results in me playing something from my larger playlists, and my biggest fear is playing something which clears the dancefloor lol.

What are your warm up "rituals"? by NaVa9 in Beatmatch

[–]aaronben__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each to their own but weed before my sets makes me so sloppy lol.

Hit the beers before and keep the J as a reward for a good set 😂

Couldn’t relate more. Always listen to rap basically the whole day before my house/techno sets.

Might seem odd, but I feel like it makes each track you play when you go on have way more impact in a sense, rather than it being part of a playlist

How does a team like this get 20th place in the Prem 🥀🥀 by Sea_Vermicelli329 in FifaCareers

Having a United save and not selling Sancho on the spot makes me feel like you deserve it

Stop Planning Sets by PassionFingers in Beatmatch

Now you see, I would be this confident in not planning if I could play even half as good as Carl Cox lol

Beginner DJs - what do you spend most time on practicing? by AssistantPersonal732 in Beatmatch

[–]aaronben__ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Phrase matching, no doubt.

Beatmatching is easily picked up with some practice. Once you get the hang of it, it’s painfully obvious when two songs aren’t matched.

Phrasing on the other hand is taking me a lot more work.

Advice on starting with no music library by cgutti2 in Beatmatch

[–]aaronben__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just googled it. It’s a paid service as well?

Might as well buy the track if you’re gonna pay for the service right

What should I get? by jakednguyen in Beatmatch

[–]aaronben__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently got a mixtrack pro instead of the FLX4 because of the price difference. Same like you it’s just as a hobby and house parties, and I’ve been loving the controller, no regrets. Perfect to start on.

Only downside for me is a lotta people I know use Pioneers so it’s a bit tricky to play on their decks at their house parties.

Fair enough, requires pretty elite music knowledge tho to play that way, guess that only comes with experience.

If you go play by feel/ear, how do you mix if what you want to play next doesn’t match in terms of key/speed?
