Anybody can set the vibe - just think about it fr. - #Kory #DJ #howtobeadj #djlife #playlist

I'm gonna show you how to make a playlist just like a DJ. I'm Corey Whitaker, and if you're not the Oxcord every time you're out in the function, this is exactly how you get to that. We're gonna focus on four main points today. The very first one we're gonna talk about is feeling. The very first thing you should consider when you're curating a playlist is how do you feel about the music? You feel, how do you think the people around you are gonna feel, and what are you feeling in your life in general? Music is an expression, so odds are whatever music you're playing is what you'd probably really think of the feeling about. This is extremely important. There's no real much point to music outside of curating those feelings. For our second point today, I'd like to call it energy. Energy is the point of how intense do you want people to experience these feelings? Energy can range from so many different things. For example, if you like playing one specific genre, let's say you like playing hip-hop, you can shift the energy by either increasing the pace of the song, decreasing the pace of the song, using a song with different precautions, choosing a song that's more pronounced on bass lines, things like that. Really consider energy when you are putting together how you want feelings to come across the people. These are the two main things that can really make anybody a great DJ, because everybody can relate to this. So two points that are connected to both of these that's gonna really be able to elevate how well of a playlist you could curate. The next point I want to talk about is intention. Talk about how we want the music to make us feel, how intense we want the feeling to be. Are we hitting the mark with that playlist? Feelings and energies are universal. Intention is when you have a specific goal in mind when you're playing this music, and making sure that it absolutely comes across as the goal you have in mind. Because even though you have a song that you really like, everybody interprets it differently. When you're thinking about things like intention, you want to think about what type of function you're throwing, who's gonna be there, what's the demographic, things like that, so you can really hit the nail on the head. Intention can be a lot of different things, right? Say you're throwing a party for a venue, and they're really concerned that the party's not going to make money. Maybe you want to throw in songs that make people feel more upbeat, so they can be more inclined to drink. Intention is extremely, extremely important, especially when you're trying to elevate and sound different from everybody else. For our last and final point, this is my favorite portion of this, by the way. Final point is going to be potential. We know what the songs make us feel. We know how intense we're feeling them. We know if we're increasing our goal of those feelings or not. Potential can stop all of this. When you're thinking about the songs that you're picking for a playlist, you want to think about what people are capable of as they're listening to this music. And I don't mean playing rar rar or everybody going to shoot with the party. That's not what I'm talking about. Are people allowed to dance? Whoever books you really wants to focus on, is having a nice calm vibe. Odds are, you don't want a song that has a potential to make people groove really, really hard. Maybe a little one-two step, maybe a little bot here and there. Also considering potential, you really want to think about what type of experience you are really trying to drive alongside those feelings. If you're doing an album release party, for example, you really want to think about songs that you may feel are gems hidden in the rough, but you're not sure if everybody else is going to really mess with it or not. This is your time to get experimental. Really think about the scale of potential that your playlist can curate, for whatever vibe you're trying to set. I don't know if all this made complete sense to you. This is it. Bye.
