well, my idea is to play a deep house set, nothing to hard or banging, nothing to flashy, a bit jazzy, slow, maybe even venturing into downtempo a bit.

it's just that i've never DJed in such a setting so i wanted to run it by people who have DJ-ed pre and post a concert.

Ask the guy who's paying you what they're paying you to play.

I am a n00b, so this is a fair comment. I did ask the guy and all he said that it's cool as long as it's nothing too driving/too banging.

I think Deep House (especially the slower varieties) should work in that setting. I would look into some Henrik Schwarz tracks in particular ;)

Cool then. I dig the tracks you've got thus far.

Check out the verve remixed series.

check out these guys

Jazzanova

Both are experimental jazz electronic groups that have conventional elements you speak of... Bonobo has a live dj that mixes inputs, jazzanova is just a couple of insane musician/producers. Hope this helped..

I think I have issues when my mind reads "Jizz at Gag bar". le sigh.
