I prefer to mix & blend R&B, I like working with urban contempory in general, but I would love to get into some techno or trance...
What genre's do you like mixing up?
Do you ever play outside your preferred genre's? |

I think most dj's who've registered with this site are into crossing genre's in some way shape or form..the site speaks for that..as far as i go,i usually prefer to mix many styles within an eve..unless i'm hired to specifically play a certain style or there's a theme for an event i'm playing that i need to uphold..Since music is a language to me,i see it the same as food or just about anything general in life..
I'd be sick to death if i had to eat hamburgers everyday(especially if i was vegan)..i've gotta have some Thai,Italian,Indian,Spanish,etc..The same goes with music,film,my preference with women,art,video games,fashion..Unless just obviously badly done,cornball,out of tune,out of key,off phrase,phoney,weak,generic or just plain poser..I love many flavors,vibes,frequencies,messages..Exotic..
The whole 9.....Period.  |

| ya know I knew this dj in North Carolina who went by the name of Prime Mover. He is not the same prime mover you would find on myspace nowadays....but anyway he was simply the most phenomenal dj I have ever heard. he was a genre-crossing master. his sets would center around drum and bass but transition into hip-hop, jazz, funky house, funky jazzy breaks, dark breaks...but all in a single set. you have to break the rules to blend all of these styles into a single set....yet he does it with this smooth and captivating style that redefines what it is to be a dj. I don't know what happened to him but I have a few of his mix tapes still around. if anyone is interested I'll put them on my pc, clean em up and put them up somewhere on the web. |

| I think you've got to feel what your playing is, if you don't feel it your crowd won't feel it. It means you do have to vary your mixing styles as certain types of records won't blend and need to be drop mixed or cut. I think it add's a bit of fun mixing house and 80's pop/early electro records (think late 90's classic Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx sets or Jeremy Healy and current man of the moment Diplo's Fabric Live CD). At the end of the day good records never go out of fashion. |

I have a DJ friend who cross genre's quite a bit...its all about the crowd..so he is a all rounder..
we we're at a dj spot in california the other day speakin on this same topic..
some feel its good and some feel its bad cuz dj's who cross genre's some of them usually don't know how to rock it..
so it's best to stick to what u know..soo cross genre-"ing" could be good or bad..

When I'm booked I'm booked as Hardcore Techno Dj. I prefer records of Hellfish, Producer, Radium, Speedfreak and stuff like that. I like tracks that are influenced by HipHop and those that are earwigs. But this kind of music is influenced by every genre and I play everything even oldies and when necessary strongly pitched. But the whole mix should be Hardcore or Gabba, because that's why I'm booked.
There are not so many new and good releases. That's why I only practice with battle/scratch records and HipHop, also because scratches and mixing can be heard better and I learn more this way. So I listen to HipHop and breaks at home most time and won't be fed up with my favorit hardcore records at party and my freestyle mix is going to be an adventure that entertaines me too. |

I like all kinds of genres so but I almost always am going to start with some hip hop and pop stuff. From there I'd go to some more uptempo hiphop into house then electro house. Depening on how well the electro house is going I'd go into some deeper house and trance type stuff. This Is my dream type of set only for people who like to dance though.
If the electro house didn't go over to well I'd just switch to some hard beats sounding stuff (ala baltimore club music).
If I think the crowd would go for it I'd throw in some old school 80s type stuff. I may even spice it up a bit and throw in some old school punk. |

| At first it seemed like a genre specific DJ was the best idea, but as i got more into it i was doing DNB only then DNB/dubstep now its all over the place with electro/dnb/dubstep/hiphop influences. its all about combining the genres that are compatible with eachother |
