Its always nice being able to battle out and throw ideas around. Been in a group called Bass Prophet for the past year and it has been a blast.

Word of advice MDC.. don't play mainroom tracks when the dance floor is empty, you will intimidate the patrons. You need to introduce dancers with deeper more mellow stuff, it takes hours to get the crowd ready for the main set, if you have to play deep house for three hours until the dance floor fills out so be it. But nothing says "this club is shit let's go somewhere good" more than an empty floor playing main room tracks.

And stop messing with the volume faders, it is unnecessary and a perfect example of ADHDJing. I Don't want to start a war but if you were beatmatching you would have something to do instead of messing with effects and cutting the sound out at inappropriate times continually. Finally if you feel you have to cut the tracks volume have another track playing and swap them instead of having dead air but definitely don't do it every track.

Sorry to keep jumping on you, but it's for your own good bro

And in answer to the question you will always grow more if you are part of a duo, you will lose the safety of a pre-planned set and have to fend for yourself with only you musical knowlege.

Haha, well we were pretty much the only venue with ANYONE in that night anyway; Wednesdays here are fucking dire... you're lucky to get 30 people in through the door all night, so basically we were just playing for the staff and ourselves Now that the weather has picked up tomorrow should be MUCH better numbers-wise all over town, fingers crossed. Not sure what you mean about the faders though, I rarely manipulate them, and when I do it's just for 4/1 kick slams from track B into track A... if you meant in the first 15 minutes or so of the video, those are the other guys I play with; my segment was towards the end.

EDIT: An example of pretty much the only thing I do with the faders is at 20:00

Gainesville is close enough to the border :P Excep the nightlife is AWFUL. We have Ryan Lochte picking up sorority girls half his age. That's about it. Although we're supposed to have a new reality show highlighting the night life... -_____________-
