Simple. Power down your turntable, Play the new record at the lower BPM...

Another simple method is to play some type of sound effect then make the switch. I usually would play a BOMB sound then start the track at a new BPM... You are a DJ. There is no such thing as a BPM Trap. If you think there is, You need a new career.

I already the know that method that you suggest,i'm a hip hop dj but I just wanna know what are the recent songs in that category,I need song ideas not ideas on how to transition

You can always try Uptempo remixes of rap/hip hop tunes... Pretty much anything labeled "DJ MIKE D REMIX" would fit this category nicely.

Give me your gig info and the info of the person who is going to pay you. I will do that info since I seem to know what I'm doing and you don't.

I will do that gig....

Movie samples. It creates a different mood and gets people ready for a big shift. A bit of an unorthodox solution but pretty cool if you are creative about which movies you sample.

So is this a bpm trap or i don't know new music trap?

The ideas above are great for going down into a lower bpm, you can also try transition tracks, but most of them suck and your crowd will stand there until the new song comes in.
Just drop a big track like biggie hypnotize and go from there.

Hip Hop for older white people.

this y some of you so called serato djs are labeled as dicks,I just wanted to get some constructive feedback since i'm playing for a mixed crowd,i just thought it would be cool to hear what other djs play for there holiday gigs especially since its mostly a white crowd & i'm a club dj & just want to tone it down for that kinda of event... so dont b a dick...

lol @ Serato DJ's labeled as dicks.


How about DJ's like yourself labeled as morons, newbies, freebies, let-other-dj's-do-the-work-for-me-while-i-get-paid?

Music Wise: If you want to go from a fast set to a slow set, try some of these

Mark Morrison - Return of The Mack
Bee Gees - Staying Alive

Anything friendly in that tempo that they may recognize and you will easily be able to mix some rap/hip hop into.

Also there is a terrific Carl Craig edit of the talking heads that is really great for transitions. On Moose I think.

boomkat.com

LOL @ calling him a "so called" Dj when you're the one asking how to play the gig.





Yeah I mean, what would those white people know about Club Dj's?

I found that most white people are pretty informed about CLUB DJs and music in general, albeit most of the time we cant play their requests in a club. (LYNYRD SKYNYRD, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

(Insert favorite black comedian jokes about white people)

Finally a real dj... I actually know alot of new music, but that crowd just want to hear pop & safe hip hop,I have no problem with the transitions its just that I wanted to bounce songs Ideas,Just to see if what i have in my crate also matches up with other djs who do those type of events,the hypnotize record is a great idea,I already had that in the crate... thanks for the good constructive feedback... respect

Just play this all night


stuffwhitepeoplelike.com

yeah but i'm playing for upscale crowd mid 30's & older,& its not my usual manhattan crowd

You should know the crowd better then any of us. How old are these people? If it were me I would be playing the older hip hop/r&b from 80's and 90's. Stuff like beastie boys, run dmc, sir mix alot, hammer, sugar hill gang, etc.

"Finally a real dj..."

You mean... NOT YOU.

LISTEN, or read if you will,

You may call those who don't play your little game of GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME dicks... but YOU ARE THE REAL DICK IN THE DJ GAME


for trying to get shit done for you

The claws are out... Meeeeow!! lol

LOL @ this guy acting like he's on some next level, unknown to the public futuristic shit and this is his play chart..

1. NELLY FURTADO - Say It Right
2. Rob Base And Dj E - Z Rock - It Takes Two
3. Donnie Klang ft Diddy and D1 - Take You There (Remix)
4. Next - Too Close
5. Major Lazer ft Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody ( DJ Steam Real Fixx)
6. Marques Houston Feat. Jermaine "JD" Dupri - Marques Houston - Pop That Booty
7. Pitbull ft T Pain - Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor
8. Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz - Get Low (remix) feat Elephant Man & Busta Rhymes
9. Fatman Scoop & DJ Kool - It Takes Scoop
10. Mystikal - Shake Ya Ass (Clean Radio Edit)


Dude, that's the old white people 10 commandments.

those are some good Ideas,thats already in my throwback crate & I save those for later on when they are drunk...I dont listen to alot of pop music, & often times I get request for that kind of music,so I just thought it would be cool to hear from fellow djs about the newer pop stuff..

LMAO!! DJGpower you don't wanna mess with Sixxx... LOL

@djgpower

I know your a hip hop dj but if your doing gigs and you get a lot of request for pop songs then you really need to start playing more pop music and get familiar with it. Depending on where you live being just a hip hop dj will only get you so far these days.

LMAO!! DJGpower you don't wanna mess with Sixxx... LOL
LMAO ooooh i'm skurd...

Be very skurd

while you wear your skirt

You guys are dicks. Dude was just starting on conversation.

i was just typing the exact same shit.

why are people here such assholes with nothing good to say.

fuck who cares how long you been in the game, hes asking to generate ideas and new shit, fuck off if you dont like it to DJ forums,com.

come on sixxx, thought you had more respect than you are showing.

So true but most of my gigs are local clubs & gritty Brooklyn & NJ Dancehall where I do hardcore reggae,nothing wrong with plying pop... I like it, but I dont always Have the audience for it

YOU GUYS FAIL AT SARCASM.

There's sarcasm and then there's being a dick. I excel in both so I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference.

hahaha

"come on sixxx, thought you had more respect than you are showing. "

I don't respect people who want free handouts... and neither should you.

Remember, HE IS GETTING PAID and you're not. So, go ahead and help him. :)

It's just music, not war. Be excellent at what you do, that's all that matters imo.

That's the only philosophical fart I have for the day.

Tracking...

No need for the negative vibe homie,I'm not lookin for handouts,I mustve misread what these forums were about bcuz I thought it was for djs to work with each other,bcuz we all love music, not spittin venom two seconds after I post a message...sounds like you jealous, "HE IS GETTING PAID" your words not mine...no worries we need haters like you,without you succes is not as sweet,so keep that hater fuel going...

Hahah He isnt a hater. He's just voicing his opinion on the subject matter. LOL

So have you spun hip hop before?

nelly furtado = say it right is a hip-hop anthem... lol

We shouldn't be "enabling" any type of DJ laziness on here.. the software already takes care of 99% of that as is.

also FWIW i'm pretty sure the new version of Traktor has WPM [White People Mode] as a user selectable option.

HELP Help....... IM IN A BPM TRAP!!!!!!!!! LOL

nobreastsnorequests.tumblr.com (SAFE FOR WORK)

Where's M-Bezzle when we need him.

I'm sorry but half the fun of being a dj is figuring out what songs go to gather ........ this is called making your set ... as you said ...I need song ideas not ideas on how to transition ... if we give you song ideas it our set ......... DO YOUR JOB

of course....but I think there is a miscommunication about what i posted,I Just thought it would be cool to talk to djs about what kind of pop & hip hop set that would play in a mix crowd,I already Have a crate with tons of suff, I was gonna share some of my Ideas also, people just pounced on it,I'm not on here beggin,I was just tryin to collab with fellow music lovers...

ok play a track form one genre if works stick with it if not move on this is called finding your crowd ........... or serato.com

ah skirt skirt skirt ...lol

You're 100% correct. No need for the negative vibe. That's you. You're the negative venom in the DJ game.

and as you can see by some of the posts from people above, I'm not the only who sees this.

:)

Well said.

Example

Ex

ample... lol

And an excellent point....

"I was just tryin to collab with fellow music lovers... "

That's NOT what you're doing.... once you see this, you'll know.

wow, 5 posts in a row congratulating yourself. I think I'm done for the day.

correction, 7 posts in a row.

You can always play "Moves Like Jagger" and see where that takes you.

Correction... I'm NOT congratulation myself. I was pointing out the comments from other people who agree.

Reading is fundamental.

aka congratulating. :)

o dam now got Jesus involved ... see you in hell lol

yeah congratulations, right.......we dont need you to point out other peoples comments.

That's very unAmerican. Wait... you're from Canada? Never mind. As you were, eh?!

he's high and from canada and has no idea what going on ... its ok my lil American copy cat ... aka canadian .. lol

hey dont talk about Nelly I stil love that track and yes its apart of my rotation still ableit the warm up set but I still playin it...lol

Oh man you dont know how long I have been waiting for serato to implement that mode fuk AM mode I need WPM for those set were playing Abba is a must..lol

I actually use that track to mix into a dancehall remix on that beat...I always get a great response from it.. nuttin like a dope timbaland beat

Wouldn't Promiscuous Girl be a better choice for the club? Say It Right is a pretty depressing track to play in the club.

either way.. if I'm listening to a Hip-Hop DJ I fully expect to hear some Nelly Furtado!!

Cee lo- Ill be around
M I A - Come Around

both timbo beats both fire.

IT'S A TRAP!

Watchwww.youtube.com

Noted DJ Wazoo. hahaha

What track is this you speak of

Audio 1 in my experience a good depressing track at the club at the right time always works good or it can clear a dance floor

This is like saying "maybe" to a yes or no question...you're always right, but you're getting nowhere fast.

i hate djforums.com bunch of fucken u.k motha fuckas in there talking about there trance shit and happy hardcore! and there stupid midi controllers

pretty much the same as the Serato forums being full of ignorant bigoted US mutha fuckas talking about hip hop and 1200s

dont matter much....djfourms.com is down all the time anyway

lol which is lesser of 2 evils I take 1200s and hiphop talk any day

LOL... true dat

bpm trap! woowzers smh (nm nh)

Watchwww.youtube.com

So I got two Hanukka gigs coming up & i'm going thru my uptempo dance set,only to realize i'm starting to get stuck in that bpm trap playing from 120 all the way to 130,I wanna change the tempo to a pop & hip hop set, any ideas what songs are the best to hold a predominantlyblack jewish crowd who wants a little yiddish hip hop? albeit a little flava on the dancefloor,I already got the 80's rock & pop set ready, but i need really good yiddish hip hop & pop segment...any feedback would be awesome.

yiddish hip-hop, that's a genre I'm not familiar with - unless you mean stuff like Beastie Boys and Lonely Island...

Finally a real dj... I actually know alot of new music, but that crowd just want to hear pop & safe yiddish hip hop,I have no problem with the transitions its just that I wanted to bounce songs Ideas,Just to see if what i have in my crate also matches up with other djs who do those type of events,theBeastie Boys & Lonely Island is a great idea,I already had that in the crate... thanks for the good constructive feedback... respect

For Yiddish hip hop, check out Chutzpah, Yitz Jordan, Hip Hop Hoodios, Matisyahu, Sagol 59 or HaDag Nahash just to name a few. The Jews and I go way back.

LMFAO & Dirt Nasty - I Can't Dance

Btw guys I have a couple gigs coming up where I'd like to not play music in the 120-130 range. Help!
