Hey Nat,
Since I am opening for Swaraj and Dum Dum Project on Friday night in Santa
Cruz, it would seem that we are keeping it in the aj family! I am looking
forward to this thing and, being Santa Cruz, the joint will definitely
rock! What are you going to play as opener for them? Do you have an idea
yet? I am going for a kind of a pan-global set with emphasis on the funk
rather than on the Asian sound which I am sure that Swaraj and Dum Dum
will cover completely. I would love to hear your ideas for your opening
set if you would care to share them.
I am really interested in how other DJ's prepare their sets and I would
love to hear from other DJ's on tha leest about that aspect of being a
Deej, I actually don't prepare very much but since I do a radio show 3
nights a week, I do get to try out a bunch of different things in a live
setting. Since I spin seedies (i know, its blasphemous!) i get to take a
lot more music to my gigs than the vinyl pros who carry probably 200 tops
and having the extra music does allow me some space to move and not to
have a fairly fixed sort of set list. Anyone out there have any comments
on this sort of stuff? I would really be interested in hearing from y'all
on these aspects of deejayin'!
