[Dynagroove] "PROGRAMING A SET" and dj announcement

[HrmOnikbtz at aol.com]

Good point. In my opinion I think you can mix an intro into the previous dj's set with out slamming the vibe into the wall so to speak. Kinda like a boat not having brakes, you got bring it down slowly into your intro. In my opinion there is no reason to completely wait till the previous dj's record is finished and then drop your track. Blend it. To me thats a real fun part. Mixing off a record you never played with and blending it so its sounds good. Usually with a good 50 to 100 records on hand odds are you have a nice workable transition record that may just as well be an intro.

Also a good idea I havent seen in a while that touches on the previous email about never knowing if a dj change was made is back in the day I used to promote for the ONE Entertainment family and we used to get on the mic just after the next dj got a record on and pump the crowd up by announcing the Dj and where he/she is from. It gave the feeling the crowd was being thought of rather than just these people who payed (most anyway) to get in. It gives everyone a more united feeling. Especially if you don't know anyone involved with the production of the event and just came out for the talent you saw on the flier. Not only that it puts a face to a name and keeps the promoters honest cause now the people know what the Dj looks like rather than just another person behind the decks.
