I’m a hobbyist dj and played on an internet radio station for the last couple of years but fell off of it and pursued other projects
I have a playlist of some tracks I play out at open decks nights in my town (basically you show up with a USB to dj on CDJs provided at a bar or club)
This playlist has a bunch of tech house, trance, hard groove, electro, acid, breakbeats/jungle/dnb, some bass music and UK garage and some dembow/global club music
My favorites:
10easy - Mia Koden
Shake the Club - Doctor Jeep
Dolphin Skii - Caldera
Sub 100 - Hodge
coco tunnel - u.r.trax
Green Inferno - LSDXOXO
RIPCORD - avas

Loosely starting to throw together songs for a dj set at a close friend’s valentines-themed house party. we’re not in the dj scene, if this wasn’t happening it’d just be aux cord plugged into the speakers, but this is more fun imo
Ps drop any vday tracks in the comments xoxo ty :*

I prefer to work while listening to music, but I get distracted if there are too many lyrics. As a result, I listen to a lot of electronic music, and SoundCloud (and sometimes Mixcloud) is the best platform to hear a DJ set. I made a few mixes during the pandemic, which you can listen to here. I’m not great at physically mixing records — CDJs are easy enough, but beatmatching on wax is a truly difficult craft I respect! — so I often sample a movie quote or YouTube deep cut to transition between tunes. If you want to hear real DJs, below is a collection of sets, mixes, and a couple radio shows I’ve been hitting as of late. Vibe-wise, they lean towards 303s, Drexciya-era electro, early UK dubstep/bass, and film score gems — in other words, downright slappers left and right.

if you have a controller, grab a bunch of tunes and practice blending and exploring different styles if you want to play live - tonight I practiced for an open decks night at a club in my city
I enjoy the limitless creativity - no one is stopping you from blending Megan thee stallion with drum and bass, I know because I tried
