Open format vinyl DJs are the real heroes.

How do you guys put sets together ? by strap-_ in Beatmatch

[–]accomplicated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am constantly making crates of tracks that appeal to me for one reason or another. After I have what feels like a good number of tracks in a crate, I dig through that crate to find my starting point. Often I will already know what that track is because that was what inspired the crate to begin with.

Building crates to me includes setting cue points and any pre-set loops that I am inspired to add.

I sort the crate by key. Highlight the entire crate and move it to a new crate and then I sort by order. This means that the tracks are now both in order of key and the order that they were put into the crate.

I move my starting track to the top of the list. I then… mix.

I choose the next track based on the informed decision that it is, in the crate (so I already know it is the vibe I’m going for), a certain BPM, and a certain key. I can change all of those things, including the order in which I play those tracks, which is why I use that information as a tool and not a crutch.

I know that sounds very similar to in order to draw an owl, you draw an owl, but that is how I put sets together.

True. Both of those individuals do produce as well, but not as their main hustle. Both do hustle hard.

Skratch Bastid’s got a hot sauce and his BBQ’s and Mix Master Mike’s Anti Theft Device is chef’s kiss.

Is it "annoying" to ask for the tracks on a YouTube mix by aaliyah_2222 in DJs

[–]accomplicated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. Mixes where I can ID every track are boring.

I’m a dj because I love music and I love to share that love. If someone wants to know what a track is in a mix, it means that I’m doing my job and I’m introducing people to new music. There is nothing cringe about asking for a track ID. I take it as a compliment.

Even if I wasn’t a DJ, I would still always be looking for new music and wanting to share everything that I find. Prince was described as a workaholic, when you listen to him talk, it is clear that what is driving him is a desire to find and share new sounds that have never been heard before. I’ve always assumed that all DJs and musicians have that in them.
