So I was driving home from classes today, and thinking about what the optimal "music flow" (for lack of a better description) would be at a club gig. Some of the "etiquette" that ean mentioned in his blog a while back comes to mind, but I was wondering what your guys' basic set list "flow" worked for you.
What I mean is, when you first begin your set (assuming your the "headliner" or main resident dj) I would imagine you would want to start off with a nice "bass heavy" track to transition from the previous dj. And from there you would go to a medium build, not quite "anthem" track to get the crowd warmed up to your set. Maybe at the end of that track throw down a nice drop and blast the kids with that popular "anthem" song like "where's your head at" or something. Then to begin the cycle again you transition to a lower energy song to let the kids feel the next build up all the more. Vocal songs (songs with lyrics lol) maybe play every two or three tracks? What do you guys think?? Is this the basic flow of every ones set? Is there a better way to pump up the energy?
