This right here is why DJ's actually became a thing. Otherwise you could just let a playlist go and call it a day. DJ's in the late 70's gained prominence because they played the "best part" of the song and blended it in with the next song.
@jtcharland2 жыл бұрын
In the 70’s, DJ’ing became a thing mainly so they could repeat the break down section of the funk and disco songs between their two tables so the dancers had more time to dance. Hence, “breakdancers.”

Those atmospheric intros are useful if you’re changing tempos. I’ll loop them so I can fade into it whenever I feel, and it’s not super annoying when the tempos don’t match. It kind of gets people guessing, then you can release the loop and drop the beat. I’m a wedding and hotel bar DJ so I don’t absolutely have to keep it thumping, a little break here and there works for me.
@alexh7064 Жыл бұрын
This is correct for the types of songs you're mixing. Genres like progressive House/trance, there's more of a longer and graduated intro to the next song.

The most important skill for beginners is actually beat matching. Once you learn that, then you could do stuff like this

Not urgently nowadays anymore. They just read the tempo and adjust it until it fits. They also use beat grid and synch that they hit "the drop" eccurate.

that's actually why you want to have a few "breathers" in between. Maybe a slower track as a pallet cleanser. Just remember that sometimes party music without contrast is just noise.

Ive done gigs where its been a country wedding and if youve heard the song save a horse ride a cowboy by big n rich, you'll notice the first part of the song is just them going "dun da da dun da da dun dad da da da duuunn duunnn" so i alwas skip to the hook. Its called the hook for a reason, it's the part of the song that hooks you into the song

Hi Phil, I usually like to play trance music and a lot of it has extensive intros and outros, which are designed for those long, drawn out mixes. With that style of music, is it better to mix from drop to drop while not playing much intro/buildup/outro? I've seen it done both ways.
@vulturebe2 жыл бұрын
yeah drop to drop is cool but you can variate aswell
@Motel-Music Жыл бұрын
Depends on the vibe I guess. Some raves ask for long in and outros some dont.
@littlemisskitch6 ай бұрын
I'm only a newbie (5 months) but I do a mix of stuff. Intro/outro, drop to drop, drop to baseline. And some loops too. Some trance djs keep up the high energy throughout but I prefer to have a journey. Armin has always influenced me for that.
@crazyburkey36777 ай бұрын
However, one could argue, with some funky background music, you can bring it in from the beginning, and make something obscure

disagree. Bringing a track in at its most energetic gives you nowhere more "energetic" to go. The example with the abstract intro is just an example why DJ edits come in handy. Dumping each new track on at its high point creates overkill and just tires people out, if not bores people. I'm sure it works fine for some crowds, probably the type that random fights break out in. If it works for you, you do you, but I'd nope out pretty quick.
