What Is The Perfect Starting Song To A Live Set?

[Bunford]

This sounds good - have you got an example anywhere that I can listen to?

Here's a quick rough one I did last night. Though listening back to it I think I'd had too much juice and forgot to use the filters and turn the bass back up fully when the Justice song kicks in. I also forgot to turn the bass down when the Phantom drums kick in too. Trying to DJ after a good night out on the juice as 2 in the morning is obviously not a good idea! He he!

You get the idea though. If I'm mixing straight into the end or a previous DJ's set, I leave out the acapella and start off with Chemical Brothers.

I like this as an intro that I often use too. Sebastian Leger's Snow Flakes. STarts at about 2:30 here. Got a chilled out intro feel to it and easy to mix anything into it. Sounds even better when you add some echo and glitches to it:

I was playing at a pretty big club in my city last week, and I started spinning at 1. The DJ before me had problems unplugging his shit and there was a huuge gap of silence between him and me playing. I intended to play something slow and build up but I knew I needed to drop something big.

Played In The Air - TV Rock ft. Rudy (Axwell Edit) people went off.
