Why not go for an hour long mix at least?

Or four! Hmm, never done a 13 min mix, maybe that’s a pretty interesting challenge.

haha I will in the future. Just testing out my dj skills for now and see if you guys like it

Well a bit part of being a DJ is being able to create a coherent listening experience from start to end and leave them wanting to hear more.

Hard to do with a 13min mix I’d say

6

but some people do 10 minute mixes?

7

Not if they’re good

And I wouldn’t even consider those “mixes”, those are more routines as they have practiced it over and over again, not something that they were feeling at the moment while mixing and came from the soul.

okay whatever you say I’m still new at djing so thanks for telling me that!

Actually a very, very short mix is a big challenge because if you load let’s say 5 tracks it could sound boring, 15 too crowded and so forth. So doing a short and interesting mix is me thinks more challenging than a one-hour one.

For a 15-minute mix not doing a track listing is laziness. So I stopped listening to that one due to this issue.

Like I said, it’s more a routine than a mix, something you have have to plan ahead and practice and just go through trial and error, instead of just hitting record and mixing for an hour, doing FX on the fly and just seeing what comes of it.

Alright I’ll list my tracks now Thanks!
