I had a crazy gig last weekend where I really had to read the room. It was all about finding the right tracks to mix from house to hip-hop to keep the energy flowing. Anyone else have stories or tips on how you adapt your set based on the vibe?
reading the crowd can be such a rollercoaster! Last gig, I struggled to switch from house to hip-hop, but I noticed everyone got hyped when I dropped that one classic track. It’s like you need to have a couple of fallback bangers ready, you know?
On that note, I find it helps to have a couple of go-to tracks that always get the vibe going, like a classic '90s hip-hop hit. Last weekend, I dropped ‘Juicy’ unexpectedly, and the crowd went wild! Got any favorites that work for you in those moments?
It sounds like you nailed your set! I’ve found that having a backup plan with a few unexpected tracks can save the day if the vibe changes suddenly. Ever try mixing in a bit of live vocals? It adds a unique touch that can really elevate the crowd’s energy.
