All right, folks. This is a video response going out to Chuckavoksy, I think I got that right.
They thought about becoming a mobile DJ. Very briefly, let us say, if you are a club DJ or a radio DJ, quite often in a club, you will just play house or soul, or R&B or techno. You have not got to worry about different types of music. Let us say if you are a radio DJ, perhaps you have got your box of records there, that is all you are going to play.
But let us say, all of a sudden, they asked you to do a set or be the DJ in the school disco or the local youth club or let us say all of a sudden, you decided you wanted to be a mobile DJ and someone has phoned up and they have said, we want you to do a wedding. The thing is, wedding situation, you have got age groups from zero up to dead. In other words, it is probably grandma and grandda that are 90 odd, they still want to listen to a bit of music. They might have to turn their hearing aid up, but I will probably turn it down in my case but you have got a vast selection of people so what this guy is how do you go from one style of music to the other.
When you are trying to keep the atmosphere, now, then of course sometimes, you could play a song and even though it is house and house, if you played the wrong house record after another house record, it could sound terrible. Quite often, that has to do with the key change with the harmonics.
The same applies when you are going from one record to the other and they could be different genres in other words, from house to soul or from 60s to techno or from trance to hiphop.
It can be done. Believe me it can be done. The only way it can be done correctly is to listen to the tone, the feel, the harmonics, the key of the music.
I will show you. These two songs are completely different. Totally different genres but they sound nice, they feel as though they should go together. What I am going to be doing is this, I am going to be playing the one which is a house song. I did have the cover of it earlier on. It is gone. This is live. We do not edit these things. What I am going to be using is a track my Meeker, love today, it is the remixes and it is on Casablanca. It is a bit of a good tune. The other one, is modern, that is not even out in the stores or shops yet. The other one is this one here. It is Thighs high, grip your hips and move. It is by Tom Brown and it is from 1980. So we have basically got 27 years in between the two songs. I will play the first one and then I will play the thighs high by Tom Brown. This is the first one, check it out.
What we will do, I will just wang it forward a little bit so you get a general idea.
