laurie619 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Since I don’t do much at work I was just sitting here thinking about Tsettos, Rydell, Santana & Lopez all in the same room. How do they decide who plays what song ? I know all of those DJ, play Renia, LUZ, and others, but who picks out what DJ’s plays what… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgm Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 I guess they probably collaborate together before hand. I always wondered that too with Kirk Lopez and the guest DJ at Surf Club on Sundays, sometimes I hear the same song twice in one night, no big deal, but wondered if their is every any collaboration between DJ's before hand, like if they share set lists or whatever.

thepulse Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 DJ's should and you would think they would collaborate or consult each other beforehand, but they don't. Also you would think that the guest or following dj would come in and hour before scheduled to go on, but often does not, therefore you hear the same music during that transition hour. I personally used to take a pro-active approach and would do two things, 1) I would make a conscious effort not to play records that I thought the other dj was going to play, (either from listening to him previously or just common sense) and 2) I would let the dj coming on afterwards know what "hits" or even popular recurrent records I played within the last hour of my set so he wouldn't repeat them. Most of the time it worked. There is enough music out there new and recurrent for all the djs to play, hopefully they will collaborate or at least try to differentiate.

djprime Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 most dj's dont discuss it....its just a respect thing...and there is plenty of music for all of them to play......I no i never consulted with a guest dj to see what they are going to play not once...

doubleplay1970 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 most of the time it basically goes the last DJ gets to play the hottest sogs everyone before him steps back a bit. However when i was at WMC scribs denny and ojeda were all spinning the same day at clevlander. Each of them played some of the same songs and no one cared people knew the deal. wanted to hear them and knew they were all top DJ's so they would hear on the top shit and it was siiiiiickk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djprime Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 some songs will be redundanat....but i know for a fact that richie and kirk will play around everyone elses music styles....thats just how they are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepulse Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Lets hope they all don't play the same stuff over and over, there is way too much music out there. That is my personal pet peeve with the scene on the shore, there is very little diversity in the music, but then again, it has to do with economic and the dj's perception of what the crowd wants to hear. Personally when I djed Surf Club on Monday Labor Day during the summers of 1999 and 2000 I never played anything twice and each set was more than 7 or 8 hours. If I was playing that day, I would make sure I was there for the whole event, listening to what was played when, and I would make sure not to repeat anything from the set prior to mine, while at the same time avoiding tracks that I felt would be better played after my set, Its called courtesy. I have actually played with Kirk and Richie, we never had any repeats and we had a great time, I've never played with the other two guys, but I'm sure we would work it out, afterall they are all professionals so it shouldn't be a problem, I guess we will all have to wait until the 8th to see what happens.

binoys Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 They are all GOOD Friends for one thing. They prob wont discuss things but they will all be there all day listening to eachother. Song wont be repeated 4 times, Maybe a few repeats here and their but i wouldnt worry that much. They wont play something that someone already played.

ibclubbin Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 in a perfect world, they will play according to the lineup, and build the night up accordinglyin other words, whoever is playing early will drop some older songs to build peeps up, next will play some newer and a bomb or two, next will do the same, and whoever is closing will tear the place apartif the opener is too good, it makes everyone else look shitty, even though they arent...they are all talented and all can hold a room down, so the key for this to work will be collaboration and selflessnessBG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleplay1970 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 it wont be the same song over and over but there probably will be a few songs that will be done more than once in different mixes. Lets leave out the Drama and apprecite 4 awesome DJ's under one roof to kill the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepulse Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 The day/night should be good to end the summer, but it will depend on a few variables besides the djs, The weather is a factor, if it rains or is a nice day is definitely gonna effect the night, also how many people have access to the shore house the week after, most people probably don't. The other factor is how many people go all out Labor Day weekend and just decide they are sick of the shore and don't want to extend it another weekend. Its something new, something different, lets just see what happens. Gotta give Sergio credit for trying something new.Now onto the female djs, I've only met a few and I've never heard any of them, We could use a few female djs. Actually I take that back, I had one open for me one night, she was good, but she was just starting. Personally if a girl has talent, I prefer to play with a female jock, they give a different perspective on the whole thing. In Miami I saw more than a few female djs, and a few of them were off the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taught more than one person the basics, but if you don't have access to equipment to practice, its gonna take a lot longer to learn.
