Mitch Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks for embedding the link.No worriesFor future reference on how to do it:[youtube]insert-YouTube-link-here[/youtube]I enjoyed the mix. I've been loving that kind of tech / deep style lately. Tight beatmatching, pretty good flow. I rated it PS feel free to make a thread in the introductions section to allow everyone to see you're a new user and to welcome you to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREMM1S Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nothing to complain about for me, technically solid and had a good progression, i dont go down the funky/deep road that much but guys like andy will be able to critique you better musically!good job!Chuck it on soundcloud next time though dude, much better for mixes!

overit Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I love deep and this was good mate. Thank you for the aural massage not sure if it was part of the tune or a mix you did but the build at about 11.45 got me going.regarding advice: online mixes are for listening to and enjoying and you got this down mixing to a live crowd is where deep house djs really have to show their telepathic abilities and where listeners can really tell if the DJ knows the vibe or not. The real role of the house DJ is to steer the atmosphere much more progressively and sensitively than DJs using singalong commerical or big drop dub-pop.But you won't learn that skill from forum advice. Good luck man, get out there, play to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 About half way through this at the moment, and loving it.Progression has been great (as the lads have already said), mixing tight, and track selection has been sick.My only advice, would be use Soundcloud instead of Youtube!Other than that, brilliant work. Keep hunting for new tunes and pumping out decent mixes.Check out some of the other stuff in House/Disco mixes.Some goodies in there!

drak0sp Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 I actually made a soundcloud a while ago but I forgot my login details, I don't even remember what email I used.... will see what I can do about it.That aside, thanks for the comments! you guys are making me melt ahahahah. For sure andy, will be checking out the other mixes and picking up some more ideas for future mixes after my net uncaps.Edit: Mixing in front of a live crowd would be awesome, I can imagine it being a whole new dimension. So for now it's just me grooving in my bedroom. The closest I can get now is people listening to my mixes on youtube before I hit the lottery and make it to the big stage overit!

GREMM1S Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Mixes are fun because you have, complete control over the direction.Playing to a crowd youre doing whatever you can to keep those fuckers on the floor haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest I can get now is people listening to my mixes on youtube before I hit the lottery and make it to the big stage overit!Hey man, sorry if i gave the wrong impression. You may want to end up on the big stage but for now just take it one step at a time. The tried and tested method to get some experience playing to crowds is to throw house parties, get known by the local scene, always carry some tunes and then whenever a club night finishes and you hear someone say : "all back to mine" you jump in the taxi and make sure you get a go on their decks. It's just a different buzz playing to people. Start with small rooms of 10-20 and build yer rep, we've all done it.and sorry Gremm1s, but IMHO you are coming from a professional but commercial kings cross point of view. What you say is true to you and to me when I do mobile work. But I think drak0sp is coming from the artistic and expressive side of DJing which I am also lucky enough to indulge in at festies over the summer. On this side of the fence you play what you want and see how people react, then you react to their reactions and build a mood and atmosphere... you don't bend over and give the people what they want, you give them what they need. If they don't agree they can go somewhere else and you are better of without them. If he just tries to keep people on the floor like you have to, then he will end up sounding like you and 90% of commercial EDM club DJs today.If he stays true to his sound and starts building a following... he may just get lucky and fire up his own little scene and following. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
