If you can logically, and over a good span of time, transition naturally from song to song to go from 130 to 125 to 120 to 115, etc, or in reverse, that's optimal, but for today's commercial clubs that's hardly feasible and you will find yourself needing to go from 130 to 90 instantly (or the reverse), primarily because there isn't a lot of material available in the 100-125 range.
So long as I played in blocks-extended sets of various genres before moving on to another block-they were pretty freaking satisfied so long as each individual block was arranged properly whether by song selection or beat-matched, whatever the particular genre called for.Ĭlubs are less forgiving, and nuance and timing make a big difference in major transitions. A slam is not the worst thing in the world, and crowds of mobile gigs (as in weddings) are much more forgiving about it, even expect it as they understand there are several different generations to cater to at the event so don't sweat it-I never did when I did weddings years back. So many ways to transition in a song of very different BPM. I always get discouraged and give up.ĭo I just suck? Why am I having such a hard time with this? Anybody have any advice/pointers for me to improve on this? Usually people just tell me to mix the breaks in the songs or the build up of one song leading into another song etc, but not all songs have these breaks, build ups or build downs. When I practice, I'll usually have a hell of a time mixing until I start trying to transition from EDM to hip-hop or hip-hop to EDM. But the majority of hip hop songs can't be mixed like that and I have a hell of a time transitioning from the faster bpm to the slower bpms or vice versa. If the bpm of a hip hop track is around 65 bpm, I can beat match it with a 130 bpm song and it usually sounds pretty good. The much slower hip-hop tracks I can work with. I've always had a hard time transitioning between songs with vastly different bpms, like going from a EDM style dance song that are usually in the 125-130 bpm range, to a much slower paced song, such as a hip-hop track which can vary from 65 bpm to 100 bpm.
I can beat match, mix, blend songs pretty good….as long as the bpms are matched up.
