learning by accident

[Mr_Happy]

they say you can pick up some dj skills by accident over night. well that deffinatly happened to me about a month ago

 

as some of you might have read before, i couldnt mix breakbeat for shit. it just sounded like a mess in my head.

 

well about a month ago i was pissed as a fart and was 'trying' to mix breakbeat again. and it all just slotted in. no problem at all. ever since then i can beatmatch breaks

 

yay me

[LiamStyles]

So its just all the other genres out there you need to work on then lmao

Breaks and DnB are piss to mix

[Guest]

i still find techno easer

btw - ment to ask:

 

has anyone else experenced over night learning?

[Aaron]

Not really in that sense... but a few months after i first started i would go through a really shit phase where i'd mix 40 - 50% of the tunes right, then i would jump up to 80% suddenly and last for a bit, giving the illusion that my mixes got tighter overnight, but then it'd slip right back down again. My mixes have kinda leveled out at an average 85-90% hit rate now, but i have to keep practicing regularly otherwise it my mixes get shitter.

Laurence, don't you always work best when you're pissed? I remember phonecalls from you saying how well your mix had gone when you've been half cut

[Guest]

my mixing isnt as accurate when pissed, but i find it easer to 'get into the music' when drunk

 

only really have a few drinks if i;m feeling stressed
