Hey guys
I was curious about how you guys handle BPM.
When I DJ I try to do progressions (as anyone who has listened to my mixes can tell you). I like to start slow and then speed up, possibly slowing down again depending on the length of the mix/set. I try to think of it as taking the crowd on some sort of journey, taking advantage of the alcohol, drugs and adrenaline that as it gets faster they dance harder, obviously, and hopefully longer.
One of my good friends who I DJ with every week prefers to lock himself into a steady tempo and stay there. I find the crowd gets more exhausted quicker, but the transitions are more seamless.
What do you prefer? Do you not beatmatch and just mix/scratch the transitions together? How does it work for reactions?
Thanks
J
