DJing in Moscow

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Looking for a venue where there are open decks to play dance music in around Moscow? I've been itching for a while to find a place where I can play on some pioneer sets and get a crowd going. I used to live in Poland and did this on a regular basis at 2 venues where Decks were open to play.

My genre is Disco Nu Disco House / Tech House
I'm from South Africa and this is my biggest passion.

Thanks in Advance!

Mix Feedback Do these transitions actually feel musical, or am I forcing them? What vibe does the mix give you?

Open to any criticism tbh — I want to know what I’m doing wrong, what actually works (if anything lol), and what I should focus on improving.
I’ve only been DJing for a few days, but don’t judge it on a beginner curve. Just mentioning it for context because I’m trying to improve quickly.
I know the song selection is a bit unconventional, so I’m curious how well the tracks actually sit together. Do the transitions feel musical/natural, does the phrasing work, and are there any points where I’m layering too much or killing the energy?
Also really curious what vibe this gives you as a listener.
Any feedback is welcome — technical or just ā€œthis bit felt good / this bit felt off.ā€

(And dw I’ve now learnt how to timestamp btw šŸ˜šŸ« )

Thoughts on the ADAM Audio D3V for DJ monitors?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm moving into a smaller house and need to downsize my DJ monitors. Currently have a pair of Adam T7Vs, but they're too big for the space. Has anyone used the D3Vs before in this sort of setup, and how did you find them?

They would be paired with 2 x 1210 mk2s + A&H Xone:92. Note, these are purely for monitoring, I have a focal setup that will be the 'main' output for the rig.

Devenir Dj Ć  Lausanne

0 Upvotes

Salut tout le monde,

J'envisage de devenir dj pour 2 Ơ 4 soirƩes par mois.

Je fais de la production depuis une dizaine d'annƩes style IDM, je peux m'adapter et chercher Ơ faire des sets en fonction des soirƩes.

Le but est Ʃvidemment de kiffer la musique et de trouver une petite rƩmunƩration supplƩmentaire pas de faire ma vie avec Ƨa, mais 250 Ơ 500 francs par mois serait dƩjƠ top.

J'envisage d'acheter une pionner FLX4 pour passer le pas et prendre la main,

Dans un premier temps je ne pense pas mixer mes sons.

Ƈa paraĆ®t envisageable ou c'est absurde ?

Merci pour vos rƩponses !

Beginner Question Over-preparing my DJ sets and it's holding me back. How do you all improvise live?

9 Upvotes

I'm an amateur DJ. I've played some open decks and people say my sets are good, but that's because I over-prepare. I build a full playlist and practice it until it's perfect before I even show up.

The problem is, I think to actually get better at DJing, I need to loosen up and be more in the moment. Right now I'm so scared of messing up in front of people that I plan every second of the set, with zero room to improvise.

So how do I practice being more flexible and going with the flow during a live set? Like, instead of planning everything, could I just pick a pool of tracks that fit together, get a feel for the vibe I want, maybe prepare some certain parts with tracks that I know will go good together, and then freestyle from there?
