MemberEmma Partnow, post: 3817 wrote: There are Many Presumptions in this thread since you asked your Initial Question; and I am beginning to get confused myself; I don’t know about you;
Would it be Possible to Clarify ‘When’ your Opening would be ?
Meaning;
Following Another DJ
At the Beginning of an Evening with ‘Few’ Customers
An Opening Event where your Set is the One the Crowd have come to Listen To
A Set where you ‘Need’ to Grab The Audiences Attention Immediately’
These Answers would Narrow things down a little 🙂<< Ill be the one to kick it off basicly.
Memberyournamehere, post: 3813 wrote: I wouldn’t use that Rollercoaster song for an opener unless the person paying me to be there asked or I was DJing a massage parlor without happy endings. Maybe an art show. The song has no drums. A reggae crowd in the bars/clubs I’ve gone to in Dallas would throw bottles at you and demand something else. That said, I’ve never been in those places when the DJ starts (because my family rolls into places after the party’s jumping). “Let Me Clear My Throat” is ok for an opener with a rap crowd, but it’s one I keep in my back pocket for when I run out of ideas or need to do a hard reboot on what I’m playing. Dunno how well it’d play with the crowd in question?
I’m also guessing you have been in and around the venue when other people are working? You know what the crowd usually goes bonkers with? Maybe grab one of those songs and use it to kick off your set (but be careful you’re not burning stuff that’s way more valuable later.)
Reggae/Soca crowds are completely different than any other group I’ve ever witnessed in person – the DJs will run stuff back and cut the audio to get the crowd singing, they will slam from one song into another at will, and it’s a method I’ve never had a chance to analyze for more than a couple hours at a time.
From what ive studied, they like to maintain a beat / rythm yh but for me its a bit uneasy to study cause _>>
MemberD-Jam, post: 3764 wrote: Opening?
When I play live I usually mix off he last guy’s track. I never really do “openings”.
When I make a mix, I usually start off with a track that doesn’t have a long intro and kicks off into some nice energy.
Do you have any examples of this “opening” you speak of?
<justice – Live @ I love techno
<deadmau5 – essential 11-oct-08MemberOk <<< My base crowd is mostly culture, reggae, & bahamian crowd. What openings can i use for those, I Dont want it to be a regular opening, you know something that will make them say WOW We are gonna be in for a ride tonight!
MemberD-Jam, post: 3469 wrote: What do you want to learn from them Shard?
Considering im jus starting off, and my tutor is busy, im tryin to listen to mixes to see if i can hear diffrent tricks and styles of mixing in tracks for the crowds enjoyment, also diffrent S/Ef’s used @ what time,
Membermr_john, post: 3363 wrote: what exactly do you mean? Personally no i don’t… But there’s youtube videos… Particularly the ellaskins channel, which I highly recommend. And my personal favorite, a sort of POV video of Laidback Luke doing a mix. I find both of those helpful.
Ellaskins- http://www.youtube.com/user/ellaskins
Luke- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBs9Qa3rPv0>> Something like an hour mix or so that i can listen to, , caus ei noticed that when the dj’s play on the radio i tend to try n pic up thier techniques, so on my free time imma listen to live mixes.
