Use loops, effects, EQ and volume to add a
spontaneity to planned sets
If the crowd are loving a break, loop it and double
its length before dropping back to the beat. If
they’re grooving to the start of a house track
quite happily, loop it and let it run for a few
minutes before you break the loop and let the
melody or bassline finally drop.
If they’re tiring after a few full-on tunes, next time
your planned set takes a natural dip, drop the
volume by a quarter and let the dancefloor
regroup for five or ten minutes before building the
volume back. Slowly drop the bass out before
throwing it back in at a big point in the track. Use
a little judiciously applied echo or other effect to
add something unusual to a well-known track.
All of these techniques and many more can add
DJing spontaneity to any set, even if it is
otherwise 100% pre-planned.
