What's the real reason behind requesting Playlists for mixes?

**GROOVE VICTIM** · 10-07-2003, 08:53 AM

Do you judge a mix by its playlist or do you actully LISTEN to the mix?

Do you print the playlist and take it to your local record shop?

Starting next month when I start purchasing new shit, I'm not posting playlists anymore because I think some people are FOUL when it comes to listening to many mixes on various websites.

Who listens and who skims?

Peace

some maybe foul, but some just want to know the name of that banging track they're hearing... [img]graemlins/conf44.gif[/img]

That's understandable, but ask for that particular song, don't request a playlist before listening, that's nonsense if you ask me.

**Dolemite73** · 10-07-2003, 09:01 AM

Why nonsense? I would not care if it were a deephouse, hip-hop or a jazz mix. I want to know the name of the song and who made/produced it. And if I choose to go buy a song that I have heard in a mix, so what?

Is it really so bad to wanna play something that you heard another DJ play first? I mean, your record selection is only one dimension of your style. Just because you know what songs I play and even buy all of the songs that I buy, doesn't mean that you can present them the way that I present them.

first of all it's easier both for the dj and the listener to get a complete playlist, rather then to 'the track at the 00:24:32 mark'...
then there's always the possibility of somebody not wanting to give playlist for their mix, and they have the right to do so.
it reminds me of dj's who steam off or cover their labels on the records [img]graemlins/jpshakehead.gif[/img]

Something I got away from in my mixes was the "anticipation" affect within my mixes. Peeps wondering what I'm going to play next.

What happen to the "Ohh shit" factor in our mixes?

If you ask me you're cheating yourself when you ask for a playlist, because you no longer have that mind state of jumping out of your chair yelling, "Damn did you hear that?"!!!!!

Peace

this can only support the artist(s) who made the track. 'house music is dying', 'mp3 dj's don't do anything to support the music', etc...
maybe dj's who hide their music are part of the problem?

There it is...

**DLow** · 10-07-2003, 09:08 AM

I can't see requesting a playlist and not listening to the mix. Are you saying there are some that will, instead of researching and digging in the crates themselves, use playlists as a lazy way of shopping?

**jsd540** · 10-07-2003, 09:09 AM

sorry my bad

Now its "nonsense" to ask for a playlist before you listen to a mix. Maybe because its easier than having to go back and hound someone for the name of a song only to hear "oh ahh, yea I forgot I gotta go dig that out again". You want people to be into the music but you don't want to give people simple access to the name of a song. Groove explain the logic in that cause you done really lost me now.

**GROOVE VICTIM** · 10-07-2003, 09:10 AM

I think you would appreciate a mix much more when you have no clue what's coming up next.

It happens all the time in the clubs, so why not have the same affect when listening at home or in your car?

Peace

I don't believe that an artist should lose out on a potential sale because I'm angry with some of the foul sh** people do.

I post most playlists because I really don't care if someone else plays some of the same trax I play, or how they get those trax.

I'm just hopin' to connect with someone on a musical level and get some feedback on what I have done.

**gabriel** · 10-07-2003, 09:13 AM

to learn.

i generally don't look at what's coming up.

[/QUOTE]No, I'm not implying that a DJ should hold out on a playlist. What I'm saying is when I see peeps post a mix on message boards, the second or third reply (after about 5 mintes) is "Cool, can I get a playlist?"

Listen to the entire mix before requesting tracks. Experience this DJs mix for a change, not just one or two songs that you felt were Dope.

Peace

This is true.

I definitely think that you should listen first, then read.

Playlists = song IDs

That's why I like them.

**Cheddar** · 10-07-2003, 09:18 AM

In all respect Groove....it Does Not Matter.
If you are going to take the 80 minutes of your time to create your compilation/mixation, the motives of potential listeners is irrelevant.

Dope Mix slammin, hit me off with a playlist.

Yeah 3 minutes after a person posts up on the board that they have a mixonline and NOW you want a playlist.

Men and women love to Cum when they have sex, that's a given, but enjoy working your way up to that point.

Is it really?

How many of us have were on AudioGalaxy last year and heard tracks that were taken from the Yellorange Site, or even the DHP?

You call that Irrelevant, I call it Foul!!!!!

If you are sharing a mix online then your policy of sharing playlists is at your own volition. But to worry or theorize the morality or right/wrong of people not fully listening is a bit too much. Share the music and your presentation bro.

**Leslie** · 10-07-2003, 09:23 AM

Okay so here we have it there is a PROTOCOL as to how one should listen to a mix and then request information regarding said mix.
