( i learn music and scales since 8 yrs old …etc before even imagine been a Dj )

mixing in key is essential for me , i do it natural now i dont spend extra energy to do it , of course with practice and practice then practice 🙂

mixedinkey helps alot in that , so im not thinking musically what scale every song and wasting time, and i know where the scales dont match even if it should be according to software , there where i can spot a false reading of key , but its rarely happend to me
of course after loading the song in Deck B i listen just 5secs to make sure it key matched then Spin the Mix
talking about it can sound complicated , but it veery simple if you understand the mechanics of music

its not about the simplicity of a transition or how stupid it is or how easy from a dj perspective
its about how people receive it …if they like it so what 😀 ,

average listeners never care about how its done , but how it sounds .. because they dont know shit about djing and they dont want to know PERIOD .

a personal advice i give ” NEVER EVER LISTEN TO ANOTHER DJ’s CRITICS about how you should do somth IN GIG, NEVAA!!!!! especially inside GIG ” , but listen for people who pay the tickets and buy the freaking drinks , thats the whole point

yeaah this transition is plausible 🙂 , bcz playing to people verry different from playing to yourself , and playing to yourself alot leads you to build those not necessarily true GOLDEN RULES that says ” THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE ……..”

for me this transition is good only when the next track is VERY good and the public already know and LOVE ! its a musical orgasm to party people

from my experience , the 20-30 sec mix , it can be boring especially to younger audience
they want to be surprised and entertained and have those moments where audience dont know whats the next track till it hits BOOM

i noticed like 60-70% get bored of a song after the first played ( verse + chorus )
and i noticed that if you do a 30 sec transition and people already know whats coming next , they get bored in the transition waiting for the song

the audience im talking about is the TOP 40 audience

Paid or not u should get it done 😉

your main music in this gig should be Top 40 anything Chart hits Old and new , ( by old i mean 5 yrs back )
+ your local radio’s hits
don’t worry much about mixing it comes .. your priority should be Songs selecting and good programing
Maybe some Hip Hop , and be sure to have some personal fun of EDM by throwing Top40 remixes
some good pop songs ( not remixed ) and make sure to have some slow tempo songs if there’s couples 😀

Don’t be afraid to surprise them with some unpredictable songs ( like some old Disco hit or Humpty dance )

i see that u use Traktor , well get all your gig songs analyzed .. Cued and ready to be played easily 😉
Don’t go hit after hit .. boring 😀
don’t take rocket science .. its all fun in the end.. and most don’t know sh** about Djing

Have fun

Lol Thank you 😀

yeah but for me i’l will be excited if i can use it somhow to make Visuals on gigs , like tracking people who dance and simulate them all in a big screen where they see themselves like cartoons but doing same movments , would be crazy for drunk guys 😀 haha
