I talked with a couple of the other DJs and we all agreed that it's time for a new thread since the original thread has for the first 20 or 30 pages broken links. Also region25 doesn't seem to post anymore so he couldn't update the OP or anything. I'll do my best to keep the OP updated and try to keep a list of all the SA DJs. Other relevant threads: Ask/tell: me about DJing (feel free to join in) The "how do I make electronic/club/DJ music" Megathread! SA DJs: Weapon of Choice New to Dance/electronic/this sort of music? Here are some tips/FAQ: Q: what are the different genres i'm so confused. isnt "better off alone" techno? A: Everyone will tell you something different for what genre is what. The best way to figure out what the different genres are is to browser through the sections of the majors sites (beatport.com , audiojelly.com , vinyl-distribution.nl , as a few example) Q: I don't like any one genre or I can't figure out how to choose what music to listen to. A. There are a few ways you can go about solving this problem: Start with an artist you like. If they are also DJs, download their sets (tribalmixes.com is what I use). If they arent DJs try websites that have a "users also like/purchased" feature (for example beatport does). If this doesnt help you, try using discogs and browsing around. New to DJing? I'll add stuff here in the future. SA DJ list (organized by nearest major city/DJ hub) USA: Southern California jonmitz - Trance, House, Progressive House, Electro, Techno/Tech, Psy Trance http://www.awesometownradio.com/jonmitz (includes link to facebook) Vernacular - Electro, Tech/Techno Altoidss - Electro TheWevel San Francisco JohnnyRed - Hip/Hop, Funk Dance Move Burglar - Psy-Trance, Hardcore, Progressive daysofstatic - Electro mingster - House Chicago actionjackson - Tech/Techno Spamman Halo - dubstep, techno vas0line - House, electro, techno, rock jerobi - house, electro, rock, big beat, dubstep Detroit Denver vanilla slimfast - House, hip-hop, tech/techno, chill Miami New York ManoliIsFat - D&B, "breakcore, bassline" Canada Come closer im a goon - Techno/Tech http://www.myspace.com/kultrun Threatis http://www.myspace.com/unicornhugz Derkin - Hard House http://www.djderkin.com Mr. Spooky - D&B, Breaks, Hardcore Europe rivfader - Progressive House, Tech-house http://www.awesometownradio.com/rivfader unfunk - Techno/Tech, House Synthosaurus - Trance http://www.myspace.com/djadriz Symptomless Coma - D&B, dubstep Anae - D&B Unknown/Non-major US city: I Dig Gardening - Indie dance/bloghouse http://www.myspace.com/babydiamondsdance Giant Robot Fight! - House, Electro http://www.myspace.com/vgx DogWorld - House, Electro, Tech/Techno Hottt Banjee - Psy-Trance Ben and Stew - Psy-Trance Everfart - Tech/Techno unfunk - Tech/Techno tylerfb - Tech/Techno Sjoewe - Tech/Techno Ben and Stew HottBanjee mrfart http://mrfart.be Ola Rules 1. Vinyl vs. CD vs. Laptop debate does not belong here. 2. If anything on the DJ list is incorrect, PM or AIM me. Please don't reply to the thread with nothing other than "please correct my genre". Feel free to add your info when you post a mix and I will add it to the list. DJ Resources Feel free to contact me (PM or AIM) anytime if you have any questions involving DJing. Unfortunately, I will be unable to answer most questions that involve laptop DJing (i.e. traktor, serato, or ableton). Some people who may be able to help you are: Traktor Scratch (Rivfader), Ableton (I Dig Gardening), Traktor (Vernacular). I can't promise they will be willing to help, but I have noticed/know they use that software. Where to get your music: http://www.beatport.com http://www.vinyl-distribution.nl/ http://www.audiojelly.com Where to get equipment: I suggest you DONT buy any equipment online unless you have tried it in person. Always try gear out before you buy. Good places to try gear at include: Guitar center, your friends, clubs, etc. A special thanks to the awesometownradio goon, TheWevel, for the free hosting he is providing many goons!

I'll start of this thread with a year-end mix I did for 2008. http://www.awesometownradio.com/jonmitz/mixes/O2008/LaminarFlow_Orbital2008.mp3 Quality: 128kbps Length: 4:59:47 Size: 274.4 Mb Genre: Trance This mix took a lot of time and in the end I wasn't able to reduce it below 60 songs. I was hoping to make it a nice 2 hour mix, but there was just no way. I started with about 400 songs and then got it down tot he current 64. It starts off kind of slow (first 2 hours are all songs under ~132 bpm) code:

I posted a mix in the last thread, but the link never worked and I never got any feedback, and I'd like to hear what people have to say about it.Portfolio posted:So I finished my first mix I actually like enough to share with people. I don't actually have talent, so this is all done with Ableton Live, not with turntables or anything.

When posting tracklists, how do you guys determine how to write the tracks, like in what order the info is spelled out? jonmitz for example does Title - Mix - Artist while many others do Artist - Title - Mix... Is there a specific reason behind that, like the program used to make the mix or something? Or maybe something like focus on track vs focus on artist? Is it a conscious decision at all?

Yo, I'm based out of Denver, a former Beatport employee, and I play downtempo, hip-hop, and house in addition to techhouse and techno. I'm a pseudo-resident at club Beta here in town (owned by one of the founders of Beatport hence the name of the upstairs room is the Beatport Lounge) When I have a few mins I'll make a post aggregating all the previous sets I had posted in the previous thread (all the links are still working) edit: also I'd suggest linking to the "weapon of choice" thread in the OP

Right on with the new thread. You can put me down in San Francisco (even though I'm Oakland!!!) I spin funk, soul, and hip-hop mainly. The only permanent hosted mix I got right now is here, I got second place: http://rockstargames.com/upload/ As a side note, I've been working on some experimental poo poo lately and I hope to have some new mixes up real soon. I've been really into playing fast dance 45s at 33. Basically, I'm trying to make screw tapes in all different genres, with a focus on faster dance poo poo like DnB and 80's new wave. It's a little weird, so I'm hoping to run some mixes by ya'll first, before weirding out a party here...

Who said you had to pre-plan anything? Just write down the keys (and BPMs if necessary) of all your tracks and then either memorize or bring with you a circle of fifths. No pre-planning required.

I love pulling records outta my box and slamming them on. yeah, i think i'd feel differently if i was actually spinning records, but as long as i'm doing ableton i think this is the way to go, otherwise i just can't justify it as artistically valid. i really enjoy the work that goes into it; there's nothing better than getting home from work, smoking a bowl, and loving around with different blends for a few hours. i'm a compulsive perfectionist with my mixes and am not happy unless they're smooth and error free, start to finish. i'm starting to build up a decent record collection but it'll take me a few years before i have enough to produce the kind of mixes i do now, and even then it'd take several more years of practice before i'd be able to put out anything of this quality. i'd love to be that good and maybe i'll get there eventually, but i don't feel like that should preclude me from doing what i do now (i know that's not what you're implying). VVV i actually try to make my music creation process as mechanistic and inorganic as possible. it's a personal aesthetic choice, and as i said, i think extensive planning beforehand is great fun. to each his own. i know i'm not a dj. mingster fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Jan 8, 2009 |

I love pulling records outta my box and slamming them on. i agree. the fun of mixing is the spontaneity of it all. mixes that are super-planned out and mixed entirely in key (using software) are nice to hear and all but it honestly isn't wholly representative of your skill as a DJ. plus, like tyler said, it's no fun! there's nothing wrong with having a few choice transitions in the back of your head that you're primed to use but there's a boundary between mathematical and instinctual (is that a word? if not it should be) that people need to watch out for jon, i'm downloading your tech mix and am looking forward to giving it a listen. i'm gonna hopefully post a few tech/prog mixes of my own soon. edit: wanted to point out that alot of my tracks are keyed but i really tend not to rely on them. maybe if i for the life of me can't think of a good next track i'll throw on something that follows the circle of fifths thing Vernacular fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Jan 8, 2009 |

Yeah I picked up that track from one of your mixes Good to know about Orkestrated. Theres only a small part of that song mixed in anyways V  VVernacular posted:i agree. the fun of mixing is the spontaneity of it all. mixes that are super-planned out and mixed entirely in key (using software) are nice to hear and all but it honestly isn't wholly representative of your skill as a DJ. plus, like tyler said, it's no fun! there's nothing wrong with having a few choice transitions in the back of your head that you're primed to use but there's a boundary between mathematical and instinctual (is that a word? if not it should be) that people need to watch out for I love your new avatar. Yeah I have to agree about it being spontaneous. I occasionally get a LOT of poo poo from people about me not mixing solely within similar keys. The problem with key mixing is it works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. In the end, your ear will tell you what sounds good, and some of the best transitions I have ever had were between completely opposite keys. I really get annoyed every time someone brings up harmonic mixing as if it's the only right way to mix. I don't keymark my songs when I burn them to CDs, since I never worry about harmonic mixing when I'm at a party (thats NOT saying I don't listen to what my ears tell me, this gets misinterpreted a lot) since I don't want to be limited by what keys I'm in. Sometimes I will run my songs through audio programs that determine the key and I only use it when I can't find a good way to transitions between songs. I for some reason seem to meet a lot of people who think harmonic mixing is, seriously, the ONLY thing you should worry about while spinning If that makes sense...

I like improvising the song selections in my sets, but I also want all my mixes to sound as good as possible. The key just gives me more information on whether the songs will mix well.

^^ cool track list, I just played that Holding the moth remix out a bit ago, had a really good reaction. I've got a bit of listening to do when I get some time. jonmitz posted:
I'm exactly the same, the few songs that I do mix that are melodic based are interspersed between techier songs that rely on rhythm more so than melodic hooks, so it's alot easier to create an ebb and flow with the set and really make the songs that have a melodic feel stand out and make a mark with the listener. Harmonic mixing is bit of a waste of time. To each their own though and I've tried it, it just seemed really forced for me and stifled my creativity a poo poo load. Also for anyone that is interested created this set a couple of days ago: quote:Kultrun - Ten Times link here Starts housier and gets a little bit head loving at the end. That I:cube track is so good it should be illegal. come closer im a goon fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Jan 8, 2009 |

Mark me down for Indianapolis (Dancehall D&B). I'm going to be working on either a house or d&b (or both) set for this weekend, so stay tuned!
