I guess i'll chime in on this one, as i think it's a pretty
interesting topic that i don't normally discuss otherwise.
I tend to play a wide variety of electronic music styles
on audio::nimbus (radio) as well as milktronics (venue)
and the last thing i'd want to be labelled as is a dj. i don't
think that i have the technical trickery to mold the various
and often random forms of electronics into a 2hour spot
with beats colliding into each other. Most of the time i've
noticed tracks that mix perfectly together, and that helps
a whole lot.
As far as promoting the music, i usually pop in after about
4 tracks on audio::nimbus to announce what i've played,
where it can be purchased, the label it's on et cetera. I don't
like to keep people hanging on what tracks have been played
as i don't enjoy radio programs that do that to me.
During a live venue set, i play a full 4 hour mix of a wide
variety of material from random international labels, and
i usually get the odd person walking up to me asking what
the heck i just played. I remember that distinctly happening
with a Lowfish track from "Eliminator".
Not sure if this helps the topic or deters from it, but that's
my perspective. I'd rather be known for playing good quality
tracks rather being labelled as a deejay..
