My third Demo of my music complete. Finally, I can give myself a break from that awful project. I don't like it because one, I couldnt burn the CD right even though I learned making an 80min mix is better than an hour and 2 min one. Two, well the music I picked, not sure some people out there will like it. I went to Hardcore Dance to House music. I wanted to give the listener samples of each music that I like to play rather than one type and thats all. Most DJ's do it, and I understand they do it because they play music for that specific group. I know once I start breaking into the turntable era, I would like to play a variety of music that people can dance and dance....then have that song stuck in their head for months. Usually what happens when I listen to music, i think about what people would feel when they hear this song, would they like it? would they dance to it? Some people, its just music to them. just one looped dance beat and vocals added to it. Sure, i view some trance music like that, but I find music that gives you the feeling to bust a move and dance until your heart gives out and people start crying.
What I found out that most music I really really listen to is House. Well, lately i've been listening to that type more than anything. Esp. Vocal House. Its where 'I Watch You' 'Call on Me' 'Pjanoo' came from. Most of my fav DJ's are House players. Although like me and most DJ's we jump around in the music pool.
Meh, it makes me wish I could just put money into cart's and the Serato Scratch Live to play and build a career. Seriously, I would love to be invited to play for a party and have people just cheer and shout for more music. Thats what I imagine seeing most of the time when I play music. Just look away from the turntables and see how much people just go along with the music. Gives me the shivers. Now that I think of it, I should just change my major and go with the music industry. Would help me alot in understanding that BIG equipment they use to make CD's.
Damn my gamer side.
Also, if I start playing for places, it would shut me up about how I want to play and be good and give Kim a rest with me complaining.
Anyways, Demo 3 is finished. Im already planning on making a 4th one. I got some music down for it. But i have a question! Does making music like this make me a a Dj already? like am I considered a Dj for doing mixes or do I have to at least play at a place or know how to use a turntable?
I ask myself alot lately. Just wish I could be considered one finally, rather some kid tweaking music.
