To keep the crowd & staff happy and interested we had to almost completely play all vocals. Imagine DJing for 3-6hrs (depending how busy it was)and changing songs every 3mins (we have house-ADD where we compulsively cannot play tracks for a long time)! I guess that I probably wouldn't want banging house in a non club environment but... No, sure we would! We get into different moods when it comes to spinning types of house music, but usually mix it up- that's our sound. We broke our personal DJ technique rule of "never mix a vocal into a vocal". This mix is the feel of those nights there. Besides the equipment & creative limit drawbacks- It was a lot of fun because THE STAFF AND CROWD WERE GREAT every week! We had tons of people who you wouldn't think like house go crazy. The last track ("Trouble is a Friend" by Lenka) on this mix was probably requested every week of the 5mths we were there. Probably make a few more mixes like this one to get those new tracks we got recorded in mixes- love that!
We respect any DJ who has any longterm residency. It takes a ton of new music and a lot of stamina to keep the crowd (& especially yourself) motivated and having fun in the exact same environment every week. We had to buy 20 new tracks a week to keep from not getting bored. We accumulated over 400 new tracks in that stint. Love to put the majority of these in a bunch of mixes, but the real bill paying job comes before the hobby, so it might take a while. This is the second mix recorded from that batch of music w/ the exception of a few tracks (and Mainstay, MixOne being the first of course).
We hope you enjoy this mix. dattrax
