I don't know about all of you, but it seems to me more and more DJs are premaking, preplanning, or using a load of mashups in sets more than they used to.
I've seen entire sets filled with mashups, others that seemed to play what they came there to play rather than what the crowd actually wanted..
This lead me to think about something.. how many people are planning out the tracks they play before they go out? Am I missing the boat by trying to keep it "on the fly"?
I'm not talking about DMC or controllerism routines, those are separate from a live set I feel, and sometimes need practice to master..
..but I find more control when I don't rely on a set playlist, or even benchmark songs. Mashups are very limiting because I find it more exciting to perhaps cue up and drop a different song on the fly?
Not trying to hate, I just wanted to know if people are using a combination of preplanned element or if everyone is trying to make every set live and improvise?
