Now lets think. I tend to go DJ's as well. Not so much for the mixing, although I do prefer a long mix from the final breaks. Basically, someone lent me a tape of a Marshall Jefferson mix. He was in a New York club and recorded live (If I remember correctly, I am sure I am though) and I was just hooked. One thing led to another with the likes of Frankie Knuckles being heard as well, I started digging deeper and found that NY house was different to Chicago house. Slight differences that you only explain by suggesting a listen. Several one things to another later, I am going with Hard House, American House and Garage, plus Deep House (Rocky and Diesel) through to the emergence of more progressive stuff. Really though, I had the musical epiphany when I first heard some Goa and Acid Trance. The musical explosion caught me there
No I am not a producer, I flirted with bedroom mixing, although I did play a few sets in some club bars. I did like it, but I would not play to the crowd and pretty much mixed my selected vinyl, over and above the floor. Still though, when I have built my new rig, I will think about Virtual DJ or such like. Anyway yeah know a bit of Nina Kraviz, yeah she's cool
More up-tempo these days, but I would recommend Sia. Vid below
