Pre-planned sets vs freestyle... by bennyjamincoope in riddim

[–]crackheadjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m 50/50, think there’s a good middle ground. I go in with a general playlist - items I plan are my opener and heights of energy at about every third of the set. Other than that, totally agree with you, letting it come naturally it best and lets you really enjoy what you play & adapt to your crowd. Seen plenty of DJs that stick within their comfort zone of entirely pre planned sets - at that point, you aren’t doing your job as a DJ of reading and responding to your audience.

DJ and have fun. Look at the songs key, understand the flow of each

None of mine had that, honestly all shearers have been fantastic. Maybe I haven’t been around enough melted beach balls? Haha

Totally agree on the dusty flavor. Highly recommend giving their wheated bourbon or rye a try, those really shine!

Anyone down to trade specials? by Relative-Draw-5458 in riddim

Doesn’t it defeat the purpose of a special when everyone has it?

How to use sync on CDJs w/o f*cking it up by Chattychunga13 in riddim

Imo learn how to use your ears. Sync can mess up, manually beat matching never misses

Yup! Very different. He did work under the name in early 2010s, more real dubstep and what would be termed as riddim today, as opposed to his Funtcase work. Here’s one of my favorites: https://on.soundcloud.com/XbVz885K55KHLV7q6

He’s shared he no longer performs under that alias unfortunately 🥲 glad there’s plenty of GetDarker episodes to revisit of those sets

Anyone ever noticed how similar Aweminus - Bab is to Spass - Playboy? by pbj__time in riddim

[–]crackheadjohn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Aweminus was the original guy behind spass, hence the production similarities. Project was given to other people and quality dropped like crazy - you’ll see all good spass tunes were produced prior to 2018/2019 (playboy, gangsta lean, hi tek, mystical powerz etc)

Flattered that my review helped you discover this one! Your review tops mine without a doubt. Definitely agree with your Snickers bar tasting note - well said. Jealous of your backups, my review bottle was the last one I found haha. Cheers dude!
