Some of the most challenging mixes are mixing tunes that go well but are quite different in style, I like to throw a few deep, liquid tunes in with some techy monsters. Not all tunes are suitable for this tho but when styles are mixed up a bit it keeps things interesting.

something along those lines are in my instruction manual in my head

For sure i have played a couple of sets with Static and although our styles are pretty different we have managed to find a wicked balance

that was one of the best structured sets ive ever seen imo, opened with a big well knowen tune to grab everyones attention (voodoo people.. before it had been heard 1000 times), thrashed out the hard shit for a while then took it nice and deep.

keep your set interesting if people seem to be getting restless grab em by the short and curlies with an anthem.. but like i used to say to one of my ex hookers you shouldnt hold someone by the balls for too long you need to work it baby yeah

structure of a set is pretty hard to put into words, especialy since everyone has a different style, different way of doing things.. hours and hours of trial and error will set up rules in your instruction manual as patch calls it. i know in my head i have about 10 000 do's and dont's when djing but when your behind the decks you dont have time to check the index and flick to page 85 you just have to follow your instincts.. after a while you just "know" what to do i think..

i also record mixes to tapes regulary, just 5 or 10 min cuts just to see how the mix between 2 or 3 songs sound, flow etc. then pick it to pieces and try and get it beter the next time.

not sure if that makes sense but oh well

from what i remember teebee opened with Konflict - Messiah (Noisia Remix) and beat juggled it that went off

you can't just mix that tune in evrytime even if it is off the chain

I'd rather hear a few songs that ya don't necessarily know/are huge on, if they make a smooth incline to a nice dancefloor banger. Listening to anthem after anthem all night is just like hearing a top 100 countdown! There's not much emotion in a top 100 countdown...

One thing people must remember in a thread like this. An international is able to be a lot more creative structure wise than any local DJ unfortunately.

The dancefloor will give a big name act a lot more chances selection wise before they walk off, something locals dont get the benefit of having.

i agree noddy..set structure where'd all that come from? probably the mixetapes and radio mixes we all hear from internatty's...??
they get tunes well before the labesl release them...they spend hours listening to music....they spend hours in cutting rooms...there life is music...
but im sure they dont stop every millimetre and ask someone...is that ok?...im sure they use their hearts a bit and say..well if a patron /clientel/ clubber....was up here in the booth they'd wanna hear........
set stucture is like telling everyone what there are gonna get for christmas in easter!
