namelesswon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I categorise but then i'll have worked out sets so i'll keep a whole buch of random records together for sets. i put stuff in dance categories then i'll put sll the sample/break stuff in instrument categories like trumpet/violin/drum etc.... then accapellas spoken word together and all the childrens stuff together, soundtrack , indy rock, country etcc... . i've got themed sets too so all the horror/paranoic hip hop goes together space hip hop etc.. bY the end of it my records look completely random and the only way to make sense of it all is to actually be in my head!

Do you have to pull shit from throughout your collection every time, or do u just grab certain crate(s)?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have certain crates... usually bring 2-3 crates... depending on the gig. Or if it's not really my thing but I was asked to spin I have a ninja tune bag pre-packed so I can grab it on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
