[Jester]

Thats a lot of rules ... rules are made to be broken

[luv2xra]

I agree with the rules but some will be broken.

when we play together as ru-bix vs jester, i take great pleasure in shaming out lil' brother with the filthiest tunes, seeing as i supply him with music anyways lol

[bitcrush]

they forgot the biggest one imo, which is don't go over your time into the next person's set.

[Jester]

Yeah! how many times have you heard "oh just one more tune dude then you're up..."

I pretty much open up when I play and tend to follow all those commandments except the one about Trainspotting. Here most of the djs know each other and dont mind sharing tracks. At the same time this makes opening easier because I am often able to talk with the headliner and if I want to play a particular banger, I can discuss if they are planning on playing it or not. Last gig I played the headliner and I played a ton of remixes by the same artists but since we had discussed what we were playing there was no overlap and it worked out well.

all that sounds good but fuck not scratching. its a good skill to have and if you happen to be a scratch dj why wouldnt you scratch. thats like telling a mix dj not to mix. i guess in excess for an opening set would be kinda lame but eh whatever.
