27.08.2012		90% of what I play house wise is under 125. I've just added prog and electro to the genres and will whittle down the genres when I actually get some mixes.

No, I believe that's not a good idea

Many Dj's categorise themselves as Deep/Tech house, and then you can have a general
House genre.

Nu-Disco
Techno
Breaks
Dubstep/Drum and Bass
Hardcore
Trance
Hip Hop
Open/mixed genre
i believe it was better the original way and just add prog and electro to make 4 house genres plus a general catch all for house. if you don't get enough entries for a couple, you could consolidate as needed (ie prog and electro). i don't believe putting bpm categories would work since you could easily have a set that goes from 124 to 127 bpms or vice versa...where would you put it then?

Personally, I believe a House category to include different varieties plus a Deep/Tech house category

Sometimes I start at 124 bpm and work up to 128-129

I don't imagine there would be many playing much under 125 bpm???
Len Lukawski
26.08.2012		dubstep/drum and bass? That's like having an Austrian/Australian Olympic team. there's also a 30+ bpm difference.

I love you like a brother I've never met but that's kind of f***ed up n'est-ce pas?

25.08.2012		Me too.

However, I will be having a combo of House, Deep house, Tech House. Does that mean it should be in the 'Open' category

Maybe just the House cat, then???

Just had a look then.

So you have to click broadcast? There's nothing that keeps a record of everything you play and the timestamps/transitions? Or is there? Don't really want to be broadcasting even if it is to nothing.
