Do you plan your mixes? Anybody? I don't, I just choose while I'm going along otherwise it just doesn't work for me.

I DJ'd in some pubs when I was younger and I just used to look at everyone and hear the music and decide what would go well next.

I suppose I had a fair idea of what I wanted to play to people but no order.

Now no-one hears me. :(

Probably best actually!

hm, i don't plan my livesets really..

the few times i've played in a real club it's been mainly one style (electro, drum'n bass, olskool/rave).. except for a few times were i played an electro set back2back with a mate and i added some olskool and eighties stuff. pretty funny to experiment with stuff like that when you have a crowd that ain't afraid to dance :)

when i play at school parties, it's 99% commercial stuff... too many rockheads (no offence) and pop-people, and none (very few anyway) of them like electronic.

Anyway, at these parties, I prepare a few 'peak packages' that consists of 3-5 tracks i know fits well together, but the rest of the times it's mostly my own crate-diggin' and the usual requests :rolleyes:

When i mix at home, it's almost never planned...

except for... tadaa! the Secret Santa Mix :D

Last year i had everything planned down to the tiniest second on when i should mix in & out of the tunes... it took too much time and eventually became too serious when it really just be just for fun.

So this year i have just ripped open a can of crackin' tunes and have used one recording take to test the tunes (how well they fit together).

So tonight I sorted the tracks, made a tracklist (which i didn't exactly honor completely.. ehm :D ) and mixed it... way much more fun and simple :wub:

No2 - This mix for me has had its tracklisting planned, however, when playing live sets I tend to go with a the first three tracks planned then deal with it in an impromptu manner :)

This is probably the only mix where I've taken a lot of care over absolutely everything - its prob going to be my best mixes to date - IMO :)

Jason, on the subject of Juno.....how crap is their packaging? last 4-5 times I've bought records from them they've used this new packaging where they use some sort of glue and put 2 bits of cardboard together....you have to tear a corner and then pull open the 2 bits of cardboard and it can cause the records inside to be bent a bit....and it doesnt protect the records inside too brilliantly.... :(
