CLub house! Tell me what you don't like!

I need some feedback. I have the idea that all my mixes lack a certain punch to it. Seems like my mixes aren't really happy, mostly dark not by choice. Tell me what you believe is lacking from me.

Would this mix make cut in a club?

Thanks for taking the time to go over the mix.

You spotted the other big problem that I haven't been able to solve. My mixes are all over the place because I haven't figured a good system of sorting and organizing my music. I tried tagging music with genre and ratings but that failed miserably. Just started using playlists instead.

Would you have any tips on how you organize and sort your collection?

But if you REALLY want to play it, don't ever play it in the first 10 min of a mix. Especially you. At this point, should you get first club gig, you will more than likely be the warm up for all the other djs that evening . If you drop "freddy le grand - Control room" like you did in this mix, every dj up after you will be royally pissed with you. Seriously, they will want to kill you and the club owner will never let you play again (if he gives a shit).

Next, is not what but when you played your tracks. you keep switching between hyped electro, and tech house that is not matching the energy at all. Start slow with the tech house and build up to your commercial "bangers". Honestly, you could benefit by beefing your track collection with some more chilled out stuff, or at least stuff not meant for 1 am

Finally, actual mixing. It was great, but honestly, id say you need a few more months and lot of youtube videos and you could figure it out more. Practice makes perfect.

VERDICT: No, you are not ready to play in a club. Give djing about 6 more months and visit your local clubs. Listen to mixes by GOOD djs, try to imitate what they do. Most importantly, keep posting your mixes for feedback. You'll come along eventually

Awesome! Exact answer I needed. I picked songs that sound decent with the current song playing by key.

I'm still don't remember enough about the songs in my collection.

I've really learned alot by check out other artists playlist. To me a guy that put's an awesome tracklist list together is Roger Sanchez. That dude plays so many different types of house in one evening , and layers vocals over everything. Try finding some playlist by your favorite artists, lots of times they put it with there mixes on soundcloud, and see how the construct a set and what songs they are putting together and how they build energy up through out the set. Michael Woods and Mark Kevening are another two that transitions thru different styles in a set.

Honestly feedback is your mixing skills are good, but 22 minutes is nothing when these guys are putting down 3 hour sets that take you on a ride.
