Classics are good.

You might even get a few claps/cheers/whistles.
This is good.

Agree with this.

16.07.2012		The Wurzels, proper job! As you say, local legends!!! They played a month ago, completely sold out.

Speaking of gigs, local festival on Saturday (just gone), 20 ciders, 12 real ales and Dreadzone headlining, bloody brilliant it was too.

Kasi Marget
15.07.2012		Last set I played in public :

Pretty small loop (around 1/8), not on the beat. Pitch in wide mode, i went from +-0% to the less i could (around -50% i'd say) slowly, and then DJM robot effect, going from 0% to -100%. At the same time, LPF.
You end up with a deep and slow growling sound, and you step down from the stage like a baws.
Reena Erdei
15.07.2012		Just go with the flow. Don't be the t*** riding the effects right till the end of the song, so that the next DJ has no space to setup!

Most of the time if someone takes over they will ask for you to finish a particular way, easiest for me is fade out on the breakdown and tap the crap out of that cue button and press play

14.07.2012		To give you all an example of what I mean: this killer track, which just got released (vinyl only), is a perfect closing track imho (and I don't even know if I'd play it at any other time during a set) - it's got a big fat groove and still is very emotional, certainly material for a memorable moment at the end of a set.

I agree with this ^

Bring the digital lo-fi to about 60 or so, add some reverb. Instant dubstep yois.

Do that until everyone leaves

14.07.2012		motor off while i have a loop set, sounds cool as especially if u add a bit crusher and delay over the toppp.

13.07.2012		Gonna have to get that Wuzels track. Maybe dig up some good remixes of it too.

Little OT, but........... A band bar I used to frequent in college always played opera very loud to clear out the place at closing time.
