so... I'm sure those of you making dj sets to submit are running into some absolutely cursed combos. Post them. Here's one of mine (mobile friendly link: https://vocaroo.com/1bDq1OUowL9M)

I have also decided to be evil with mine so if it somehow gets accepted y'all will be cussing me out for how it ends

holy shit it's epic

holy shit it's epic
sadly without multitracks I'm not sure it's even worth trying to make this sound good
tbh I didn't even bother to check the keys the songs were in lmao. i just looked at the spectrograms and matched their most prominent sub note
bleak crypt
am I the only person even making one

I'm planning on submitting a mix as well, mine will be mixed live though

very cool
im brand new to djing but i have a good ear for music I think
for example I can pick out what scale a song uses most of the time
my favorite being aeolian domiant/mixolydian flat6
bleak crypt
I do not understand fancy music words
anyone who can make a cool set without a good understanding of scale has my respect actually
bleak crypt
I can make individual cool elements but a whole set not yet. Working on it.
I'm leaving modern (post-2016 styles) edm out of mine for the most part, tbh. I figure all of the actual DJs and bass heads here have that covered so I'll instead focus on the other side of Fox, which is electro, liquid dnb, and pop punk to hopefully at least have my set be not like everyone else
I dunno, maybe I've gauged his fanbase wrong. But it seems most are the kind of people who'd find a subwoofer to be a worthy investment haha. That's never been me, so hopefully me comin from a different angle can give something fresh
worldly nova
It's cool that different people are trying different styles, I'd say the vast majority of my stuff is post 2016 :)
bleak crypt
mhm!
I think most peoples taste kinda drifts over time, but mine has just expanded outward evenly from the music I liked in middle school lol
while I've branched into nearly every genre, the stuff that first got me into music is still what it all revolves around, if that makes sense
not that people stop liking what they used to, but the focus doesn't stay the same
meanwhile I have one 100 gecs song just because it reminds me of The Living Tombstone stuff from 2013

Wait... people prepare for sets?

OK apparently I have something planned kinda

I've been very dead lately but yeah duh
sure mixing stuff live can be cool but that's very much not even something I'm interested in. I'd rather learn to take hours perfectly editing stems together and fabricating perfect transitions
i mean, while I haven't made any full dj sets yet (I've been a mess this month and missed the deadline) this is the shit I do when I dust off audio software lol
and I'd want to bring that same over-edited sentiment from my memes to my dj sets
I even know a decent amount of music theory so obviously I wanna make some wacky stuff that just couldn't be pulled off live

The set I sent in is a V2, but my prep was "record a set, check run time, add more to fill out run time, record in OBS"...
As for stems, I'm all for it. One of my favourite non D&B mixes is Ritchie Hawtin - DE9: Transitions from like 06 or 07. An entire 90 minute set made when Live had no real DAW functionality. I love the concept but also understand how much prep that takes... for me the Jury is still out on whether I consider it DJing per se, but I mad respect it.
I would consider my idea of a DJ is to be able to read a crowd and adapt to their needs.
Whatever floats your boat though, no judgements here and if the end result is awesome then does it matter.

my version of 'prep' was I planned out the first 10 minutes or so and then improvised from there
