Great video. I actually started doing folders as well and the unreleased folder is a great idea. Also the bag organizer turns on a light bulb for me. Thank you.
Hi Josh, just discovered your channel after seeing your set at the Summer of Love in Manchester. Really great content, keep smashing it. Looking forward to a video about that festival too!
Awesome video josh thanks. Do you have any recommendations on learning to mix in key with vinyl? I find that being my biggest challenge right now and haven’t been able to find much info on good ways to learn keys to keep things sounding more cohesive. Thanks again Tim
What do you think to going back and forth through genres in a set like start with house, go more techy then back to house etc? Or do you think it should be more strict as in do all your house at the start then go go tech and stay there instead of jumping back and forth?
Back in the day...ie twenty years ago in the midst of acid House we took a bag of records and you programmed as the night dictated...how would you know what to play in advance???
Sure and there’s times I do this also. But if I’m being booked to play at a certain club for a certain promoter I can get a rough idea what vibes will be best received. Don’t misinterpret the fact I mention a few times DJing is a feeling these are just some steps I take to be better prepared.
Josh, on the digital side, I noticed you didn't mention using Mixed in Key, Platinum Notes or any other pre-programming? Do you just not bother? Totally understand not trying to formulise/make it a boring
It's much easier to play when you do platinum notes and mixed in key prep. When you play with key ring rules you don't have to know the tracks that well but you'll still most likely sound good. might not be super interesting but everything will sound proper. IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE
this man is just blessing the community w free knowledge.
Thanks Nick! If you wanted to get into music production I have a tun of more knowledge to share inside the site.
I've been DJing for 23 years and can say with 100% confidence dude knows what he is talking about and you should listen to it
thanks mate!

Really useful & professional insight. It’s really easy to become sloppy with your organisation and prep - just the info I needed to hear!
Love this Josh! Really interesting way of organising playlists
Love him and his explanations 😊 I needed this !!!😅

It's in the works this one.

I wouldn't over think things being in key. If the records sound good together they sound good together. I mix of feeling and vibes!
@@joshbakermusic you da man thanks brother

I think play however you feel.. there isn't a rule book for DJing

I do not bother. I just mix records that sound good together. Who knows if they're in key... but sounds good to me.
