Boogaloo Posted October 26, 2008 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

Supercorsa Posted October 26, 2008 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 ?

Guest Posted October 26, 2008 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!
Boogaloo Posted October 26, 2008 Author 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.

Jackie Ross - take me for a little while The Impressions - I'll always be here Otis Leavill - Why, Why, Why Billy Butler - My heart is hurtin' Aaron Neville - Why Worry Bobby Foster - If you ever need a friend kelly Brothers - Crying days are over Jive Fyve - If I had a chance to love you Ronnie Macneir - Sagittarian Affair Tommy Tucker - Thats how much Shirley Brown - Yes sir brother really looking forward to the November night
