URGENT: chinese EDM Posted on: 19.04.2013 by Dannie Dimora Hey Me and my friend are currently gigging and this VERY important chinese man came in (he's worth several tens of millions if not hundreds) Anyone know what is currently trending in china ( maybe some uptempo 120-130 would be best suitable) THank you soo much even one track can help
Gaynell Rydberg 21.04.2013	Originally Posted by Polygon And i completely understand your point. But when the owners come to you and specifically ask you to put some chinese music on to please the client, what can you do then?? Pretend you don't hear them and screw up your residency? Anyways i chilled with him for a couple minutes, figured out he most liked 70-80 music, of which i have tons in my library, so problem solved i guess I wasn't saying to ignore your boss. I was just saying to try and find out what the guy actually wants instead of assuming which you did.

Gaynell Rydberg 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by Polygon No you misunderstood me. I didn't explain all the subjects involved. We are a duo, we are residents at a club.

Dannie Dimora 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by SlvrDragon50 This goes back to the whole he may be signing you because you aren't playing Chinese EDM or whatever though. Why can't you just ask him what he's looking for? Honestly, if you change your genre just because of my nationality, I'm going to be offended. It's like trying to find African tribal music if someone from Africa wants to sign you... No you misunderstood me. I didn't explain all the subjects involved.

Gaynell Rydberg 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by Polygon Because we HAD to please him. As i wrote earlier, he was worth several tens if not hundreds of millions.

Dannie Dimora 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by deevey +1 Why in gods name WOULD you have, or would you be expected to have Chinese EDM music, unless you are either in China, or are Chinese? Its not there are any chinese hits like Gangnam style or the wonder girls which broke the charts globally that everyone knows. If someone threw on some "Irish" EDM i'd walk straight out of the place because 99.99% of it is pure shite. Because we HAD to please him.

Jetta Drenzek 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by makar1 +1 for Balkan! Nice, I can slap that in, put a kick in the remix decks and use a gater to get that sidechain/breathe effect on it, and you have an instant balkan dance mix
Dannie Dimora 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by Sambo There's a lot of balkan dance you can slip into a set sneakily though. I know I'd dance if someone dropped some balkan goodness. In fact I'd dance to anything, so it's a moot point. Either way, just ask the guy what he likes and plug YouTube into the mixer. If it's a loungebar system I doubt the sound quality will be too noticeable. Mix in with a talkover or however and then mix out as normal. Problemo solved! EDIT: And you never know, he might say "I LOVE MADONNA" then you've got umpteen billion remixes to go for. I'm talking about purely commercial balkan, say, severina-uzbuna. All these songs sound the same. He seems to like 80's music , thats pretty cool Actually the SQ is frickin' awesome, difficult to come by even at some clubs around here.
Ethel Feigum 21.04.2013	I've been put in similar situations before, and it usually turns out that I already have what they really wanted. That being said, good on you for going the extra mile for the client and being prepared!
Marshall Aby 21.04.2013	To be honest, at the tech-house club I went to in a nuclear bunker in Shanghai, the Chinese DJs were playing what sounded to me like tech-house, and at the dubstep evening in a warehouse I went to in Hong Kong, the Chinese DJs were playing very dubsteppy stuff. As it was largely instrumental, I honestly couldn't say whether any particular song was Chinese or Western, so unless your man is an expert, I doubt he would be able to either. 'EDM' is geographically fairly homogenous in this virtually connected world we live in today.
Jetta Drenzek 21.04.2013	I did say Maddona, can I just say I totally called that? Not that I racially stereotyped a chinese person into liking retro American pop or anything..

Alphonso Deitchman 20.04.2013	A businessman visiting the club owners to sign deals probably isn't at all interested or concerned about the music itself tbh. Mixing cleanly and entertaining the audience should give the best impression possible.

Maile Dekerlegand 20.04.2013	if it's all about trying to suck up to some older chinese business man you could try a club remix of some famous chinese song that most people would know from karaoke i.e. most chinese people would have heard of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Lijun here is one of her most famous songs often sung at KTV: annnd here is some god awful remix for the club: https://soundcloud.com/tank_carter/siti-nurhaliza-ft-drake-yue it doesn't sound like a fun time DJing tho.

Jetta Drenzek 20.04.2013	Just find the latest chines charts at the bottom of the aforementioned site then (http://yue.sina.com.cn/) And just wing it. Personally I'd just let him be unless he specifically requested that I play chinese music.

Dannie Dimora 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by Sambo I believe you're barking up the wrong tree. If you start playing loads of chinese music, you'll kill the floor (not in the dubstep way) and even if he does like them, he'll believe you're being a massive kiss ass. I get a lot of polish guys asking me to play some Polish dance and when I say "I don't have any" they are like "BUT VY NOT!?" to which my only reply is pointing out the 400 English people on the dance floor. Thing is, i call it the "club", but it's more of a loungebar, so the dancefloor is usually a couple drunk chicks who will dance to anything you throw at them. The point was pleasing the guy We're used to drunk guys leaning over our gear asking for balkan music all the time, so unfortunately, in this "club", there's no killing the floor because paradoxically the floor is killed with every different genre of music we put on.

Ena Nouri 20.04.2013	I am 90% sure that Chinese people don't have EDM... They have Chinese pop tho, but it is nearly impossible to find the remix version of it unless you make one yourself. I believe my last name supports my statement... haha
Dannie Dimora 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by Sambo Have you ever considered the man came in because he likes the music you DJ anyway? A lot of English DJs get DJ gigs abroad because they are exactly that, English DJs, and as such know what the tourists want better than a native DJ. Nope. Because the man is a business partner with the owner of the club, so he didn't come in on his own. He actually flew in that day. Non-caucasian people are kind of a rare sight where i live...
Georgie Lukowiak 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by Chrisku13 But you really dropped the ball by not having the hottest Chinese songs in your library. Man , I hate it when that happens.

And there will be more people around, so take a look on them too Play a set as you usually mix, and maybe you'll find him more interested, than just mixing the music that is popular nowadays on China

Dannie Dimora 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by P4ULSON Different strokes for different folks..... Don't get it twisted i use a very respectable music pool and only use high quality tracks. Dude is playing in Asia... have you ever played there? i have, if you did kool lol.... The stuff that gets produced out there varies so much in quality.... Well not playing in asia, but playing for some asian men that could bring us some great business deals so it's kind of the same :P Also, why are most chinese songs slow 80's-style or hiphop? i can't find any 128bpm stuff except a couple tracks by some boybands... Originally Posted by P4ULSON yeap listen to them and use your judgement. on the tracks that your not sure about play those at full volume during sound check and see how it goes good luck man rock that shit be positive and do you!!! Thank you very much we always have 2 laptops so we can listen to other music (people sometimes bring their own cd's/usb drives) before actually trying to mix it in
Arnulfo Morten 20.04.2013	Originally Posted by kooper1980 Worst piece of advice in the history of the internet. OP if you want to maintain any bit of integrity you have don't ever play a youtube rip!

If it comes to yt rips, i cue them and i only download and play the ones that sound the best, if it matters at all... yeap listen to them and use your judgement. on the tracks that your not sure about play those at full volume during sound check and see how it goes good luck man rock that shit be positive and do you!!!
