Dare to Mix - The Next DJ

[djdanpooch]

This thread is totally based the on ability to mix. That means, a DJ takes a record, cues it up at the spot he feels is right and then mixes the song in.
It would help if you describe where and when you start a mix and for how long. Since the club just opened, here is the first record of the night.
Dancer - Gino Soccio - I can not start off with a more simple song to mix into.

So who is the next DJ?

I really really want to mix POP POP SHOO WOP into Isaac Hayes SHAFT

On a hunch I think it could work nicely



But just to play it safe .....


I'm going with SHAKE YOUR BODY DOWN TO THE GROUND
The Jacksons




one more thought !!!

I don't know the BPMs for this one ( & my computer has no sound ) but if it falls into that 118 - 122 bpm range

my ultimate mix choice is :





otherwise -

its back to SHAKE YOUR BODY DOWN TO THE GROUND


thank you

I would insure I had the LP version of Shake your body - The Jackson as soon as you hear the part that goes ummmm....I abruptly would throw in Bad Girls by Donna Summer.... This is a perfect set up for someone.

I am glad that we are mixing together.
The last mix - - Bad Girls into Shake your body Down - -
Do not hink I wouold have went that way -
I would have played "Lets Start The Dance" Bohanon
But since we have "Bad Girls" on the platter - In the last chorus during the last frame, start "The Boss" Diana Ross - Bad Girls will break into accapella with the "toot toot - the records are still on beat, and then Diana breaks into the music.

Who is up next?

[JussiK]

I tried this at home and yes, "Mephisto" by the Sarr Band / Diabolical Soul Invention is perfect to lay over Diana both rhythmically and narrative-wise, turning the Diva into a sex slave of Lucifer himself, purring and moaning in bondage. - But if this is too obscure to follow, disregard and carry on, as Tim would say in Project Runway.

Sarr Band Mafisto (12"): Vinyl Records @ DiscoMusic.com
Nice choice Jussi!

Jussi-I respect your taste,but I am not familiar with "Mephisto" so instead
I'm switching to Candi Staten's "When You Wake Up Tomorrow" or
Venus Dodsen's "Night Rider"-both would take the dance floor in different directions.Pick one!

hmmm...I'd STILL go with "Mephisto" as it does clearly show Miss Ross who's The Boss! In any case, the track ends with...what's the term in English, a cold fade? What I mean is an ending that comes to a full stop, allowing you to continue with any kind of track, in theory. - How would you perform the mix going from "The Boss" to "Night Rider", without pitching both too much for comfort?
