by Rose-Kitten

Just got asked to DJ at a private party tomorrow night which will be quite big.. it will be busy and I don't have decks (I use vinyl) and don't have many cd's nor cdj's for that matter. The party does not have the above either. So I'm going to make a playlist of stuff and set it up for them on CD with iPod and well... give me some tunes to throw in and some ideas please? Thanks.

** Need PARTY music ideas, more so, but build up tracks very welcome... Any thoughts please? Thanks.... and if you want to send MP3s, I'm more than willing!

*sorry - just learning to use Abelton and

don't have everything warped or online yet either. Damn me.


what kind of people/music?

& ipods will replace djs. so versatile and accomodating.


weeeell... electro, really. So yeah, PARTY music.

I've got a bit... but argh - it's been awhile since I've bought anything as brain has been elsewhere.. I think I'll be okay.. I'm told it's going to be a very 'arty' crowd which I don't give a fuck about, but yeah... party music. hmmm.


arty? electro?

I AM X.
you're welcome. (=


I have I AM X BOX MIX a friend of mine did...

check out the IAMXBOX mix on www.myspace.com/tomasalmgren for more brilliant tunes ;-)

Good GOOD GOOD choice :-)


ahh yes

he's the hearts of black science guy right? (the page isn't loading on my wanky comp. at work). i remember your thread on that.

but yes, i am x would do well. & since i'm listening to blonde redhead, them as well. boards of canada?


yeah, that's him. Check out Fashion Feeling

which is a DK7 remix... I cannnot get enough of that right now. It's just almost perfect.

Boards of Canada reminds me of going to sleep tho. But have that, yes... Hmmm.. I'm thinking.. thanks for suggestions..


i don't think so

if i was running a club or night or whatever, i'd not pay someone to select tracks on an ipod.

and if i went somewhere and the dj used an ipod, i'd be pretty pissed off.


it's a private party

so yeah.. not being paid.. just being asked to contribute from a 'taste' level..


yeah

i mean, that wasn't a reply to you so much as the idea that one day ipods will all take over all djing. i think that'd be a huge shame.


well.. have seen those iPod contraptions..

so yeah... well, it's all about technology. Am not about to become purist about this, although do love the purism when playing music (see Fonteyn, an amazing electro dj)..
Dunno..


Legowelt?

Japanese Telecom?


I don't think I know this?

Will have a look. Thanks!
