cause nobody dance no mo all dey do iz dis all dey do iz dis

i always test with a few new ones if no one jumps to it i go back but some dj's play it too safe i like to switch it up i get annoyed with myself if i play the same shit every week ya heard

i prefer playing shit that's 20 years old.

Cause the masses aren't brainwashed to like the new hits just yet

They play it because the crowd is brutal, all the clubs i go to downtown freak out if the main hip hop Dj plays anything they have never heard of and i have seen it happen, its not pretty when you drop an unknown track and everyone on the dance floor stops to look at you.... You should have seen the crowd when the hip hop dj at the club i went to friday had to switch to the main room and the edm dj came on. The first song the entire room stopped and looked at the dj and with in 3 minutes everyone had left the dance floor which was packed lol. Just depends on where you go. Over here there are some spots that rock out with no top 40 at all but the people go to those places to hear non top 40.

Cause most DJ's are mindless robots. Yes. I said it. If you got offended, I'm talking about you.

cuz new shit is not cool anymore. 80's remixes and mashups baby. jump on the bandwagon, cuz being original is lame

Not only that most of them have Mashupitis.

????

^^^ haha

????

Damn double post

????

hahaha

Hahaha

That "tyranny of the majority" thing is a real bitch sometimes. Combine that with a lot of "mindless robot" DJ's, and you have club after club after club filled with obnoxious idiots dancing to played-out crap (even in a supposedly ahead-of-the-curve place like San Francisco, in supposedly legitimate clubs).

Seems like this goes in cycles.

When you say new music what do you mean exactly? Name some tracks that the djs around your way keep playing...

+1

lol

DUDE, Its tough to not play older stuff, even when breaking new tracks. I still get requests for "tipsy" I dont play it. but i still have to listen to the studpid requests. lol

the tracks sent to you by record labels, or new tracks u get from the record pool thats now on radio yet

Because most of the new shit is garbage.

You answered your own question in your very first sentence.

these type of clubs will typically only pack dance floors with shit that is familiar, period. if it's new, it's not familiar. if you're gonna try something new, be sure at least a portion of the audience will find it familiar, and are into it so the lemmings effect can take hold.

bitches don't dance to new shit.

haha.

Most new songs have to be played at the beginning of the night while everybody is drinking and chilling. Then it can move up in your playlist once you have some people feeling it. Once you have a couple people liking it, others will too because they don't want to feel left out on the newest hottest shit. The next thing you know, you can play that same song during primetime. But the flipside to that is.....that when you finally get to that stage, they started playing it on the radio, so everybody knows it by now. haha.


The moral of the story is, the radio DJ's have to power to make or break the music in the club because people like what's on the radio. The problem is the program director have no clue on what's hot but most of the time the DJ's have to follow the rules.

So, to answer your question, "Why don't club DJ's play new music? It's because the radio program director won't let us. Well, at least that's the way I see it.

First time I dropped Timbs - "The way I are" in a packed club - nothing but blank stares.... months later - cant get thru the friggin night without getting at least 3 requests for it and having to play it twice.
Thats the way commercial clubs are - I know that and I except it for what it is. Wish I could have the best of both worlds - do a commercial club one night and then Ibiza the next.. oh well. In my case - pays the rent for the moment, and beats working at Safeway.

seroiusly. if you ain't a big time DJ who the crowd came to see, don't think playing new shit is going to make you look good to a dumb crowd. becuase it won't.....

why do I spin again? oh yeah... the money.

yes playing new shit is hard.... I wish alot of new stuff came with acapella so u can but the vocals over a familiar beat and people will vibe to it cuz they know the beat is hot

good idea maestro.

i mean its always easier when the beat is familiar. thats what i do. i mass up every new song if it has an acapella, so that people can hear the vocals

i do the reverse actually. hahaha

i mean the beats are cool, but people usually fall in love with wack ass chorus, if the chorus is catchy then its a hit, i can pick out a ten songs with catchy choruses and the verses suck ass, ( yes homo ) they suck ass. Soulja Boy, Ay Bay Bay, Wipe Me Down ( love the song but verses are wack ), Championship Bottle ( lil wayne & birdman ) Make It Rain, I can go on and on, but if u play the hook over a familiar beat, they its golden

Wow. The real robots come out.

No one is asking you to blaze them with shit that aint dancy or clubby or hype. You still gotta break songs that are (or would be) apealing if they were on the radio. I guess this kind of experience only comes with time.

Yeah. The money is or can be good. But, if that's the only reason you're spinning, you have no 'business' being a DJ.

To the people that don't break music, there will ALWAYS be excuses.

If you're a robot, you have no business getting promo music or being a part of any record pool. Just wait until a song is charted and you can go buy it like everyone else.

Here's a tip. If you gotta flip the floor, you can do it with a brand new song. The club owner and bartenders will love you for it.

Its not as black and white as that Sir. New music you want to break out is usually not new music that a top 40 club would even like. Plus spinning is fun, but its not fun when you feel like a robot, but you do feel better when you get paid. The idealistic way of thinking is great, but it doesn't translate into real life. some djs spin at top 40 clubs to hopefully get a chance to spin somewhere else that will let them play better music, some djs spin at top 40 clubs to gain enough of a crowd that they are able to do new things since the crowd came to see them. But telling regular djs to break new music isn't the best advice either.

Plus breaking new music isn't easy. Playing it early in your set it not breaking music new music. Playing it remixed with a familiar song is not breaking it either.

Yeah i usually play a newbie and say make ya way to the bars, or i create drink specials. Cuz i got it like that. But most DJ's are Robot sixxx, its about the money and the hoochies at the club, so they play the same shit all day and all night. I know one DJ, he plays the same songs, all night until he hears me break them then he plays it. Thats a biter right there. I break music cuz i like good music. I mean we Kayne and 50 was battling i would do about a ten minute kayne and 50 battle and just go back and forth. A couple DJ's were like u forcing new music on them, now everybody is playing good life

Haha @ robots.

I agree with going with a familiar beat than familiar lyrics. Take this one, I know most people wouldn't know the group or the song, but when I played it, they lost their mind when the beat came in. I mean they were singing the hook and everything like they heard it before. haha.

www.zshare.net

I mean i get paid regardless, i do flyers for clubs, websites, and i make beats... Alot of local stuff right now, but most of this local atlanta stuff is blowin' up. Good for me!!! But i mean if u don't break new music, Then u will never be able to seperate ya self from the masses. I get tons of new music, its hard to break every single new song when u have some many songs. I just pick 5 per night and break them, ones that i know will smash.

Once again, excuses.

There is a huuuuuge amount of music being released each week. You're telling me you can't find at least one that is appealing TO YOUR SPECIFIC CROWD? lol

This isn't an idealist idea or goal. It's the way it used to be.... and we are where we are (having to be mindless robots) because of ourselves and our actions. We just don't wanna be accountable for them and rather blame the next guy.

Radio stations are the ones who fucked it up in the first place. Then club DJ's followed like sheep.

Is as simple as asking one question. Who is driving the bus?

Cook cook, has to be the oldest song in the world, J/K its old here in the A thou. I been playing that song for the longest. I always mass it up wit something cuz it old. Hook is very catchy. I wish all new stuff would come with acapellas. Good post matt212, thats my song right there

If you got a song that has a dope danceable beat, catchy lyrics and hooks and you didn't play it because it wasn't on the radio (or the charts) yet, then there's no hope for you.

I get all kinds of shit music that I just throw away. And going a step further, some of us won't play garbage even if it's the #1 song in the nation.

Yeah thats how you gotta be different, if u aint different we all in the same catergory

yeah i play everything. i think i am a microwave.... Cuz i got that heat, bitch!!!! lol

In 2007, clearly it's radio (and other mass media) driving the bus. They're highly consolidated, well-funded and tightly-controlled. Any one DJ trying to counteract that kind of "musical propaganda" machine (in commercial-type clubs) *is* setting themselves up to be mowed over.

If mainstream club DJ's seriously wanted to try driving the bus, they'd have to organize and cooperate to a much greater extent than they're doing now. To state the obvious, it's quite difficult to imagine that happening.

Oook? Lol

no its not radio, we drive the bus.... But we let the radio program our route. How come a DJ can't program his own route, we why can't all DJ's program they own route

Sixxx, FUNNY!!!!

I know where you guys are coming from. But I just don't think its as black and white as you guys state it to be. I play a lot of new shit when I spin out, some of the dudes on this board can attest to that, but when you're a regular dude trying to make a name for yourself and you're thanking god that you got hooked up with this dope gig and this dope club and you have the owners telling you to keep the dance floor packed, what you going to do?

Play an obscure track that YOU(this is also assuming that you have good taste in music) think is dope, or are you going to play a track that will make the crowd go nuts and make you look good in front of the promoters and owners. a lot of regular djs who don't have a residencey or who don't have a real name have to make a decision.

I am gunning for an exclusive radio show or something. How about the promoter told me last night i was to ghetto with my music, cuz i played a couple of new joints. But it was a packed dance floor

lol!

I got that a couple of weeks ago. the guys kept asking for less RAP! on one particular situation, he told me to switch this rap song(talib's "hot thing") to more JT and prince.

Come on now DJMark. You can still follow the 'rules of the game' if you know how to do it. It's all about having a strategy, a plan, the will.

You don't have to be 'mowed over'. No one is saying don't ever follow mainstream appeal agaon. But cats can't even stray away from the norm for one song. Robots.

Yes i was told the same thing, i did what was asked but soon as i switched it up. i was three or four songs into the R&B, and the club started clearing out. Mind you its a open mic, showcase show, and after the show i only get about an hour to play, i told the promoter i can't squeeze a whole night into an hour

Seriously. Thats what I'm trying to tell Sixxx. It ain't that easy. Who you going to listen too, the owner of the club (who probably doesn't know shit about music) or the top 40 crowd (who probably doesn't know shit about music).

I agree that not every DJ, especially new cats to the game, will know what 'good' breakable music is. There's a lot of shit that comes with experience, and breaking new music is one of them.

I guess if you're only doing an hr set here and there, you gotta do what you gotta do, but if you have a residency, you should at least try. There are 4-5 hours to a residency at a club. I'm sure ONE new song per night could make it in if you really wanted to.

At this present time, i want DJ's to be they own program directors and stop relying on radio to pick that next hit song. I remeber when DJ's made music hot, not a stuffed shirt PD at some radio station. We are the pulse of music, we are the producers, the DJ's. If u don't break music at a club, whats the point of u DJin'. I can turn on the radio and hear the same songs being played ten times a day, why do i wanna go to the club and hear them same songs again

I agree.

sadly... there are too many microwaves... making our importance go downhill.

No excuses, shit i do an hour set when i travel.... And i will play some new hot shit, especially if its a town that don't know nothing about atlanta, I go hard on that A-town shit

i don't play stuff that wasn't released or didn't play on the radio at least once - it's easy to stay safe if i play whatever hits the shelf - although i don't listen to radio, i know that it was played before..

.. then, at night i just keep the tracks on the prepare window and drop them when i get the crowd "in my hands" - never works - people get a big confused:

"oh no! what he's he playin? i'm such an idiot! i don't know this song - how do we dance this ?"

then, as my edm school told me (and maestro said it) i start blending on the back some really known loop around that bpm, swap bass, they know the rhythm, know the beat but still don't know the song...

"this is familiar, but i don't know... oh no.. i'm such an idiot! i still don't know this song - i don't know how to dance in the first place!"

so i release the loop and let them dance to some 10 year old overplayed song...

i give them something they want for the next 10 minutes than:

BANG! here you go something new bitches - no cry again...

all night long... they hate electro but i got them dancing to shiny grey's "why" so they will learn...

maestro: same happened to me with "the way i are" - a fellow dj came to at the time and was like: that beat is great but this poor helpless souls aren't ready for this yet - look at their pathetic faces looking at you without a fucking clue of what's happening...

:)

p.s. - they will learn.. good or bad way, they will learn..

Yeah to many conventional oven, shit.... That, I'm gonna do me, regardless. If they don't like it don't hire me. But they know if u good, u gonna bring the noise. Shit! Don't be programmed!

Let me put it in perspective. And, I'm gonna use this next song only because it fits the example. Girls Kiss Girls wasn't getting any airplay yet. It was unknown by the masses. Not that it is hugely popular now but at least it's in radio rotation.

OK. I head to San Franciso and I spin as a guest DJ at Milk. I had a set of 20 mins or so... I don't do pre-planned sets. It aint my thing. So, I go through my charted, hits crate (which also has new songs thay I think are hot) and blaze the dancefloor. I played Girls Kiss Girls and the crowd loved it. They asked who it was right after I played it. Grand T can testify to that.

Is it possible to do that? Yes.

Will it work always? Nope.

But, you gotta feel the vibe and let your experience guide you. They don't call it reading the crowd for nothing.

Yeah i mean, shit i have been to many cities.... and when i take something new over a old beat, they look crazy, but see i am a mic hogg as well as a good DJ.... My new favorite line, u gonna love this, if u don't dance oh well, kill ya self. But i gurantee in two weeks. U will love it.

Most people that complain about this type of thing don't have the pressure of keeping people dancing and in the club. Either that or they don't have the exerience to know how crowds will react to the music they play. I bacame a DJ because I like playing the song that gets the people crunk. If I wanted to break new music I would go someplace where the focus isn't dancing. DJs play Top 40 music at Top 40 clubs. Period. If you want to hear Country, go to a country club. If you want to DJ for a bunch of mindless head bobbers that don't dance, let alone buy drinks, go to your local underground "new" music club.

It's real simple if the DJ don't play what you don't like , then don't go to that club. If you can't handle , then you deserve every bit of frustration that you serve yourself.

Ummm... I'm not on this bandwagon.

Hahahah. Yeah. Now that was some stupid shit to say. Seriously, no one is saying break new country music at your top 40 spot. Or break underground music for that matter.

Hahahahaha

There's a time and place for that.

What a microwave. Keep it 'crunk'.

Wavies +1

I don't agree, this where the problem lies. The same 30 songs all night.
Nothing out the ordinary, what seperates u from Montay, DJ Hershey, Or anybody else in atlanta

sixxx said it (again)

it's about reading the crowd - it doesn't work anytime but it's the way you set the mood...

i don't think you can drop 'salmon dance' just because.. you have to set the mood and then drop the tune...

plus (and this is my very very own opinion) - if you're scratching something in or you just cut/paste or choping or whatever you want to call to the technique where you stop one song and play another people will look on the back of their heads for that beat - if they don't know it and they're not expecting then, my friend, you just fkd up your mix...

on the other end, while the old beat is still playing and you start earing the first lyrics from the next song but you're still dancing hooked to the last beat it's harder to stop and look to the dj...

you're dancing the new tune for 1min so just keep going muppet...

DJ's are puppet masters, u control the floor..... So if u gonna keep playing the same songs all night, then i can go to another club hear the same stuff, why even go out and listen to the DJ's turn on the radio and get ya fix.

becuase there are girlies!!!!! woo hoo girlies!!! in all of their makeup and fake tits glory!!!

Your club owner or manager (or even promoter) may have hired you for one of two reasons. 1. Because you know what you're doing. 2. Because you follow orders like a nice little slave.

Of course, you gotta please the crowd, but if all you do is listen and play what the owner wants you to play (aka playlist), then it sucks to be you.

The people who hired you should respect you enough to know that you can handle any situation. The club who hires me didn't do so because I play new music here and there. They hired me cause I can give people a good time (no sex) and still do my job.

Lol @ girlies....

Fair enough. Hahahaha


It isn't easy breaking new music but there are ways. Many different creative ways to do so. But, you can't for the unwilling I guess.... but if you're the owner, manager or promoter, you can sure force one down though. lol

.... that is if you let yourself.

.... and I don't break new music becauser some record label is buying me clothes, gear, kicks... it's cause it's what I love to do. I enjoy great music. Even not so great music that can keep them dancing. DJing is more than skills... it's a good feeling.

Hahahhaha. Maestro.

i want sixxx to come to my club and critique my set for me

my funny for the day,
but i get clothes and gear, but that was after i started breaking new music, i guess they trust my ear. Cuz i make music hot, before the radio. If u can be ahead of the game, then you will get rewards for ya efforts

Most clubs I spin are more "dirty south" than top 40.... but I still play more uptempo shit...I even drop "girls kiss girls" because they are danceable songs... it doesn't really matter where you spin.... you just have to know your limits... if I play a new song, I always have something ready in case it doesn't go over to well...

All I need is a real invite and for sure. :)

hahaha

Hell yeah. It's the 30 second rule! hahaha

i give all new songs at least one verse and a chorus, if it don't go well. If it goes over well, then i let it rock out fot a minute, But if its all south music, then u are at a limit, but thats when u thug out some r&b vocals over south beats. If u can't play any new music then ya a microwave

at the start of my set i play music i like....and then

huh?

FUNNY!

i've lost "still standing" like 50 times i need to re-buy that shit.

lol pretty much

add your own...and then i play hot garbage and watch hot chicks dance to it and request more hot garbage

love goodie mob.
You guys make me not want to come out of the bedroom (no homo)
no misquotes of closet either.
I can understand what you guys are saying to a certain degree, but don't have the experience that you guys have. I would love to be able to drop new songs on people in the club. From this thread it seems like it is real hard to do it without clearing the floor unless you mash it with a hot inst or something along those lines. I also know you can't just play what you want because that won't work either. Is it safe to say that you wouldn't drop a brand new song during the peak hours of the club?

Daaaamn!


hahahaha

Negative. There's no written rule as to when you can drop a new song. All you had to do is rely on your timing and your ability to read the crowd. There are times where the crowds are too pumped up to wanna leave the dance floor.

u a dj, u have to right to play whatever u think is hot.... That what will seperate u from the rest of the newbies and conventional ovens who play the same 30 songs every night.

Good, that is what I was thinking. Then if the crowd was dwindling down cause the music selection wasn't right for them, now wouldn't be a good time to drop a new one. Probably clear the floor. Not fishing for answers here, just seeing if I am thinking along the right track.

These dudes are setting them selves up for all this shit sixxx, i am laughing hella hard over here.

if u playin' all new music, one after another..... and not setting the songs up, yes the dance floor will clear out.... U gotta set up a new song behind a hot song, don't play a wack song and then a new song. Thats a recipe for diaster right there.

we are just like sheep.

See I don't feel like playing all the old shit. Before I started djing, I was the guy who would get the latest music, burn it to cd or throw it on the ipod and drive around just to hear it loud and see how much I liked it or not.

Don't ask. Don't tell.

hahaha

thats always good to listen to new music before u bump it in the club, if u like it.... Then everyone else will like it as well. If u put ya stamp of approval on it, then folks will vibe it

That's what I do Puma. Burn new music in mp3 format to listen on my ride to work. 2 hours back and forth. If I'm not doing that, I'm reviewing a mixtape from scratchlive dot net.

U gotta feel music before u play it, U can't just drop new stuff with getting a feel for it ( no homo )

This post should not be jacked by sixxx

well sixxx when you are done at your residency, you can come check me out on a saturday night and then come into the forums and talk your smack about my set

if you're a microwave, you probably dont' have taste in music either.

Wtf? Do I have a helicopter or something? hahahaha

And time travel is out of the question.

u the man sixxx, take the helicopter to his gig, or get a-swift gay police escort to take you to the club

a-swift... you do know I dj Fridays and Saturday nights... right? Impossible for me to do unless I have a night off.

Rate the new Talib Kweli
1. Do u have his album
2. Are u playing Hot Thing
3. Dou u play anything from Kweli

One thing I can think of that might actually work (in places where you're a resident DJ, and have a top-40 crowd where it's harder to break in new music): make a mix-CD with all (or mostly) new stuff, and give some copies to customers. They might listen to it and then be familiar enough with some of the new songs to dance to them the next time they're out.

The underground scene is not like that at all. At least not around here. If that's the way it is in Atlanta I do feel sorry for you.

DJMark!!!!! Bingo!!!!

I used to do that shit a lot!!! I used to do mix CD's. Give them the usual crap but then mix either underground or stuff that wasn't popular. It works with regulars for sure!

Best tip so far.

not a fan!

+1

Hip hop shows turned into clubs after the shows are done and people love to dance.

He hit us with some stereotype bullshit. lol

Wavies +1

see! this discussion is going no where.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that you'd want to be a little selective about who you're giving the CD's to (unless you don't mind wasting a lot of discs, and possibly having them used against you as a counterprogramming tool by competitors)...the regulars are key to "driving" everyone else in a sense.

i thought your club was closing. nevermind then.

There's a lot of flavors of "underground" (that could refer to anything from an illegal drug-fueled rave to an invite-list-only event in a chi-chi lounge), but my experience in general with non-mainstream bars/clubs is that the people are better-behaved in general (much less need for security), spend more at the bar, and tip better.

If another DJ wants to copy my mix cd playlist and run my set, that's fine. If he wants to program contrary to my set, that's fine too. My set will be different next week.

To quote Santa: "There can be only one."

this is why you answered it you self (Its all the same played out stuff I hear on the radio)and on the radio its all playlist crap so the club dj just goes to whatever radio station website go to the playlist and go from their,I play new music in the club sometimes in the 2nd hour as they are getting their drinks in their system,or when the party is about to end and say I need crowd participation on some new music,and if your a good dj you can ready the crowd and atmost fear of the crowd as the night goes on,but most club dj's stick to top 40 radio crap,i was at the club sat with a friend after I did a high school homecoming dance went their to see how he was doing their was three dj's (over kill)and one dj played crank dat 3 time back to back never would I do That.but it was funny the crowd was like what the fuck.but any way.look at the crowd thats coming in or already in the club and go from their,

For sure... drops galore!!!

Yeah. Next weekend was supposed to be my last night. As it turns out. The owners still want to keep this place open until they really have to shut it down. Fuckers. I was really looking forward to some time off. Now I'm going to be all tired when driving up North for the jammy jam. Blah

+1

I still haven't seen a fight at an underground event where most people seem to know each other vs a regular club or bar.

What do you mean? It's the truth. Somehow people think that underground cats or people who listen to underground don't like to dance to regular shit. They actually do love regular mainstream shit. They also love underground/indie too though.

+1

a-swift... as soon as this club closes for sure, I'm going to be heading down South to party with you guys. You best believe that.

:)

I'll let you know. For now, sucks to be me. I really wanted some time off.

?????

hahaha. djnvs hahahah.

whoa!!!

personally djing for me is all about the music so I prefer the underground shows that I get booked for - parties still go off and it's a lot more rewarding to know the crowd is also grooving to music that I personally love rather than just liking the song cause the radio tells them it's hot.

Underground fans are usually more knowledgeable about DJing and DJ technique in general so they "get" a hot mix or a great blend.

Same goes for the EDM nights although the e-tard quotient is a lot higher...

This misqoute is the new (no logout) rip

Let's hope we don't have a (misqoute) group start up on myspace or something.

c'mon down. let's rock! you know you can always get in hour in at my spot if you want. or you can chill and see how i get down.

No.


hahahaha

But seriously, I'm coming through as soon as I get some nights off! (misquote ready).

done

hahahahaha!!!

True...



Sorry, but the audience is d.u.m.b.



Agreed. But is that what you would define as breaking in new music? PLaying one new non-top40-yet song?



Agree.

Nope. That's not the way I definite it. But you gotta start somewhere for the people who are having a hard time breaking new music.

You mean the crowd? Hahaha.

There is no hope. Majority of the crowd is d.u.m.b. and s.t.u.p.i.d. Period.

Nah... the DJ's. hahahah. But I get the joke. lol

And actually, the majority of the population is d.u.m.b. either way and has nothing to do with music. That's why it makes it so much easier to trick them. You just gotta find the edge.

lol... trying to beat me with my own argument? haha.

Okay, the way we break in new music is just too advanced for them, so they dont understand it.

You know what they do if they understand you - soujah boy dance

You know what they do if they dont understand you - stare at you - frozen.

Hell yeah. I'm good. :)

dude!!!

lol

hahahaha

It ain't easy being cheesy

Sixx - you are funny and dispensing all the advice for free.

You have to know how to program new music. You have to have a couple of songs in mind when you come into the club that night and be thinking "I am gonna make my mark with this song".

I think its important to know your venue and who you are playing for. One of my gigs in SF, I know I can play new local artists and girly top 40.

My gig in SJ, I know I can play new dirty south, international and girly music. (the key to djing is playing for the chicks, don't take dude requests)

You can't break a new EDM song in a hip hop club...it also helps that when you are playing something "different" whether its new music or changing genre, that you mix extra clean. There are often certain songs that I use as a gateway song to play something new.

There are ways to play new music, it just takes some preplanning and some experience...

Well said. Can you post that in my other thread about Suggestions to breaking new music? Thanks

which part? the part about being funny?

np

lol... nah. The part about suggestions. lol

He called you fruity.....haha

Good thing Sixx is that cat from San Diego. hahahaha

Haha..yup....

Doesn't that answer your own question?

Top 40 clubs usually play the same old stuff.. Find a new club to go to..

Yep.

It's usually not hard to break new music in clubs. Can you people mix? That's what makes the difference.

its not the mixing...its the song.. if people dont feel the song, you messed up the mood... man... are you really that much of a douche cock?

Hey You Sux!!! Do you know how to mix?

If you can mix, you can play dodgeball.

IF you can dodge a mixer you can dodge a ball.
misquote anyone.

ok puma: i gotta ask..

why do you always ask for misquotes ?

zzzzzz....

And if u can dodge a 12in vinyl u can dodge a ball.. haha.

Mr. Serato Sux... please refrain from saying things just to get a reaction. Your arguments are flawed and your reasoning is crazy wack.

Huh?

My point is that songs are easier to introduce if mixed, versus just played from the beginning.



Oh, you can say that, right? Should I hit the report button?

Well, if you're a DJ... you better be mixing. That's all I gotta say about that.

some east coast djs's don't mix Sixxx.

and I wasn't trying ot be an ass. Its the truth.

Oh I know... and in my eyes... they suck.

East Coast DJ's do mix.......we mix Henny with coke. haha.

hahaha

wow. you guys need help.

?

damnit.

I wouldn't say I always do. I feel that the misquote will come anyway. So why not invite it.
It's not like I want every post to be a misquote, but it has grown since it first started.

but it's not fun if you're expecting

because most djs are scared little bitches and wait for the real DJ's to break the new music out there, for the sheep to play once we make it hot.

I know a guy who doesn't mix, I thought he was a noob dj, but he has been doing it for years and even produces music. According to his website. At the club on avalon. He will almost go all night without mixing. BOO. Last weekend he was doing this whole michael jackson theme, not sure if it was prerecorded or not. And also he would play going back to cali and then use the inst of the song and throw an acap over it so it was like 8 minutes of going back to cali inst. Wasn't feeling it. not sure if it was live or pre recorded.
I am going to call him on it next time I roll over there.

video tape it..... and be sure to get that in hi-def when he calls you out, I wanna see you shake like a leaf at the decks again.

thats just mean KaGen

no Blisk, I will not got to Remix with you - so stop asking.

Did I miss something?

that is a No Logout Tour inside joke.

LOL!!

No more shakes. come down to atrium this weekend. oh wait you will be there. j/k

Im working on the nerves.
Thanks for the support cajun.

Nerves? I usually drink. that helps mine.

Drank waaaayy too much last time. One or two should suffice.

^^ wuss.... can't handle man beer.

I thought beer was usually made from barley and water.

There you have it! It's all about the ladies, but once you gain their trust you can branch out a bit!

the best tip like said earlier is to make a mix of new exclusive stuff.

and give it out @ the club.

promote the shit out of your self.
with mix cds and new music people will start loving your adifferent style.then every other club,mix dj.

This is a good idea. I've done this too.

i dont give 2 shucks, i will play it if I like it first and secondly if someone asks for it. You will be surprised what ppl ask for. I break records, plain and simple. I want you to know I played it first.

exactly, well said
