playing songs more than once at a party

[S&S]

when u play at the club do u find yourself repeating songs during the night? With so much good music out there, there really shouldnt be any reason to do that too often. Any thoughts......

Not many cats get to play all night by themselves these days...but running a hot ass jam more than once makes hits!!!

I wish I could do it .. but w/ 2 hour sets the time in between doesn't seem long enough .
Occasionally I do it w/ a tool .. beat or acapella but a full song .. not in a looong time

I think it depends on the venue and how transient the audience are. I used to play a lot of pre-club venues where the audience would change throughout the evening so it was sometimes necessary to repeat the odd track over a 5 hour set.

Ever wonder why there does not seem to be THE song of the conference or weekender any more?
I believe its because people don't play the same track more than once any more

I remember when Africanism Block party came out EVERY DJ played that at the Southport Weekender EVERY BODY came away saying that was the song of the weekend. This does not seem to happen any more
Each DJ played it in a different way gave it a different spin, Louie Vega Terry Hunter etc It didn't get tired.

I sold more copies of that track than any other that weekend, I even had to get more copies delivered to the event from my distributer.

I think its a shame

This....
Also, while the two hour set thing does kill the mindset..... if I get something hot and good I'm going in. I also think that the mindset may have suffered with the switch from vinyl to CD. Much easier to come in from the break or a different verse or such with vinyl. I hear you can do it with the digital set ups but I'm thinking you have to know the record intimately to know the cue points you are looking for which if you got the record THAT DAY may not be possible.

So i think most are saying there is actually a very good reason to do that often...
