Dj's writer's block...
|
| DjSway |
Do you guys ever get into a Dj's "writer's block", like not able to find that one first song that start off a set?
Cause I'm having it right now and I can't find a good uplifting Trance song to start off my set for a friend's bday party.
Any suggestions welcomed! A song starting with a 32 beat kick would be great. |

Use Tastexperience - Tantrix
and I usually never run out of ideas for an opener. My problem is I have too many that are perfect openers. |

Yep, all the time.
Decent intro tunes can be hard to come by, so as soon as I find a tune which works well as an intro I keep a mental note of it and make sure I use it in the next demo I do!
If you've got any production skillz you could always make your own intro edit of a tune (to make it fit better as a first track), or even come up with your own little creation for an intro. |

| I find that I can find openers better than other tracks I want to play in the set. |

i get it all the time
not when i have a bottle or two
what i get more though is a general apathy after i've been playing the same things for too long
i mean i have my share of personal, timeless classics, but every time i fidn a new track its like learning a bit about myself |

| Finding a starter, middle, and end is easy for me. finding the other tracks that tie it all together turn into the challenge. |

Depends on the purpose I have for mixing. To make Demo I will usually think of something that makes a bit of a statement.
If it's just for fun I will usually stick a house track on and then progress from there. The sort of philosophy I have with that is that it's the sort of scenario I can come across when working. Gives me the chance to think how I can progress from what another DJ has done into what I want it to be. Gives you skills with regards to building energy/Tension. The point is not to leap straight into what you are dying to hear but work towards it increasing tempo and intensity as you go.

| writers block was strong word for that imo lol. u just run out of good tracks thats all. ask me and i would start with a track that has a real intro, melodic something, not the usual dj crap intro. |
