Hey guys,
House DJ here. Using Serato DJ. SL3 interface.
Decided college isn’t my thing, so I’ve dropped out and am committing to music full time. I’d say I’m still in the beginner/semi-intermediate stage and it’s been about 2/2.5 years since I’ve DJ’ed/played out. So I’m rebuilding from the ground up.. I know my next step is to make a few demos to start getting gigs but I want them to be special and really hard for someone to Shazam and find what I’m mixing.
My first mixes made (and only ones I’ve made) are just seamlessly blending songs one after the other - you would be able to Shazam every song I’ve used. But the DJs I love and follow, it’s super hard for me to find what they’ve put together.
So my question is, what are some techniques that you use to put richness and depth into your demos? How do you disguise them? What makes a demo different from a mix you’ve just thrown together; what is the difference between the two, if any?
Thanks for reading
