Boogaloo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) OK, you've got 30 minutes, 10-12 records and a budget of £200. Your audience is knowledgable and expecting a good night. What do you do? Cack it or crack it? Discuss. Edited October 26, 2008 by boogaloo Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Joe Simon seems popular . It's because he's a total soul genius plus nearly all his records are sooo cheap! I'd quite happily listen to a half hour set made up purely of Joe Simon 45s, would probably cost you a lot less than £200 as well! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Boogaloo Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Joe Simon seems popular . Also I've just been thinking. Warren, are you after suggestions for what to play at your forthcoming "Cheap as Chips" night ? Aaaah, you've discovered my ulterior motive. Actually, it was also to get people thinking about how they dj. I know, as much as anyone, how easy it is to dj with big ticket items and £20 tunes are not necessarily great records but they hardly ever feature in most set lists I read. What I'm also looking for is how we put together a set of tunes and why. It's also easy to string together 10 'bedroom' tunes (ones that work well in-doors but don't work in a club). The £200 is a limit but it shouldn't be a limit to taste and skill. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
