When you play back a recorded mix you have an option to fast forward or rewind if the tune gets old, on the dancefloor the crowd dont…
Once you understand that basic youre away…
In the 90’s i never recorded any sets or put out mix tapes, dunno why probably the same reason we dont have many photos of the nights, we just didnt think to do it!
When i started up playing again and this great invention of internet radio and cloud casts had come along, and i posted my first recorded mixes to mixcloud and soundcloud, i was playing like i was trying to get a crowd up (or gang of mates at an after- night party, lets not totally big meself up here 😉 ) Its what i always did so i carried on doing it
And because of that, those first mixes never sounded their best.
You can get away with murder playing to a live crowd, but a recording is ultra critical!
