Meet the DJ
What constitutes „rap“ today is somehow no longer anywhere near „danceable“ like a hypnotize or the like. The breadth of music genres is getting more and more difficult if you don’t commit to just one, and the chat at the record dealer about new tracks with other deejays doesn’t exist anymore ;(
Best to forget what you played last time, so not the songs but the order.
Don’t just deal with the „new songs“…research the past as well.
Yes, Ben Liebrand.
Normally when you have the crowd „in hand“, music requests are few and far between, and those should only be fulfilled if they really fit.
Experience and thinking outside the box regarding the songs, the rest that you needed in the past to bring 2 songs together, today the technology already takes over almost 90%.
Preparation depends on the type of event. In most cases, experience is sufficient preparation, otherwise, of course, research if it concerns something you’ve never had before. And routines are not a good idea, that makes for a set where you can set your watch by the songs 😂😂.
Actually I love new jack swing at the beginning of the nineties, but it is rather rare that you can play something like that. Otherwise, except for Schlager, I „get along“ with many genres.
DJing in the tower room of the french cathedral for the crew of DKNY, was a highlight with the sunrise over the roofs of berlin.
Musically I was introduced to music through AFN which my dad listened to, the deejaying was sparked by mixtapes and records which contained „megamixes“. Max mix for example was such a series.
