Hi SwaggaBack,

Thanks for your comment!
I guess your talking about the first track that I opened my set with. I didn’t mentioned it above but that was actually the first hour from my warm-up set.
I tend to agree with you, and five minutes are a bit to long before you bring in the kick, but in this case I can rememebr
this tune playing in my head all week, and I really never had the oppertunity to play it out.
So, since that was my warm-up set in order to get into the mood I played that long intro track, cause it just felt right at that moment, and we’re talking about that specific time when it’s just you and the dancefloor, the doors just opened and people we’re just starting to arrive about half an hour later.

That’s why I really love playing warm-up set, you get the chance to play tracks you like in a really good sound system, it help me to get into the mood, and from that point I’m in a different zone of my own. Enjoying every track, watching the people get inside, the place starting to fill up, and feelin the vibe that you created first for yourself and than for your crowd.

If I wasn’t opening that night and the place was already packed I guess I would choose a lot shorter track to open my set with around a minute or two max.
During the set I also like to experiment with breaks, not too long though, but long enough to contribute to the general vibe, change a genre or just trying to mix some loops on the fly like I did around 23:00 minutes in my set, where I took a loop from the end of one track, put a little delay, mixed another track above, and a cut from a what sound like “breaking news” repoert, which I have on one of my Vinyls.

Thanks for listening. I can never tell how deep people dive into sets I publish online.
Really glad it matched the game.
And also, I never thought of it that way, I mean the overall experience, the other things people might do when listening to a set. I’m just trying to catch a moment or a certain vibe I experince through music.
Thanks for the comment and of course for listening again.

Thanks Terry.
The scene was probably at it best around 2001 and afterwards kind of faded, but in the last couple of years it finally came back, and now especially in Tel-Aviv you can find some great underground parties that tend to host some of the best DJs that are out there in every genre.
So you actually didn’t missed much in the past 10 years.
