Hi all
I am a first time poster but have been reading DJ Tech Tools for a number of years.
I have been booked for my first DJ Gig in a local club for a Trance Classics night.
I have the a few queries that i wold appreciate any time you can spare to help me.
1. - Handing Over to the next DJ - I am on first and was wondering what the general rules are on handing over to the next DJ? What BPM do I leave my last track on, is this something that is agreed beforehand? Classic Trance songs have a varied BPM Rang compared to general Trance.
2. Taking over from a previous DJ - What would happen if I have planned to play an opening track say 10bpms slower than the bpm of the DJ before me - what do you do to handle this - I understand building and decreasing bpm ofver multiple songs? Is it acceptable to let the previous records stop and start my track from scratch. I have heard this at Trance Gigs before on Handovers - usually when the next DJ is playing an intro Mix. Do you always need to keep the music playign between DJ's?
3. General Query I have always wondered - How do DJs avoid playing the same songs on the night? In the world of DJ's moving around the globe and getting to the club with minutes too spare how do DJ's avoid repeating songs, especially on a night where there are multiple headliners all with the right to play the latest popular songs?
