5 hour set with Traktor Pro

It just worked...
I was playing on a wedding with some cupoints and persian music from a USB memory.
The cupoints was to make Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody to crash and start Michael Jackson - Thriller Dance after that go to "Time of our Lives" from Dirty Dancing.
Hopefully I get the real video from the wedding...

I also had a intresting talk to a guy that plays on clubs i Tokyo. He was a friend to the weddingcouple and was asked to play, but it´s not the same to run tracks on a weddingparty. He was using vinyl, but now he´s on Serato. I understand, travelling round the globe with a big box of vinyls can´t be fun.

Traktor Pro worked perfectly for the whole set. One thing that I need when using loops and FX is a monitor, my earphones is not enough :) - plus - I wan´t 4 decks now, loops are fun!

Party diary

2 weeks ago I played a birthdayparty and this weekend a wedding!

I play everything from Frank Sinatra to The Killers on this parties, so the trick to make it work is to play the right track at the right time. The bride asked for 80´s music and I was not late to reply... Depeche Mode, New Order and Erasure made the crowd go wild!

To DJ with the laptop vs. Vinyl/CD is like "same same but different" you always need to select the right tune to play, the computer can´t do that for you, but its always a matter of how you organise of tracks!
Technically it is more differences, since the program makes everything stay in sync and give a great visual overview of the track it leave the DJ room to be more creative!
