Psypha - Nottingham DJ UK

It's in the mix... Nottingham DJ UK

There are 3 basic classes of mixing, explanation of these mixing types can be found on the UK DJ Mixes page

Know Your Music - Know Your Crowd

When you book a Nottingham DJ, make sure he/she covers the genres you are interested in. It's your event, your guests and your money.

A DJ you book for mixed age group parties must have a comprehensive collection. If you have specific material in mind, or less known tracks, ask if they have it or if they can get hold of it. The safest option is to bring along a CD, with your specific track burned onto it.

For general parties and weddings a good DJ will know how to judge the crowd and make accurate selections to keep the groove and to keep the guests buzzing on the dance floor. The transition from track to track should be subtle, and closely match in the tempo. Transitions from high to low and back again will tire the crowd and cause them to loose interest. The best DJ's will know how to mix any genre, beat matching even the most tempo wavering track.

Do no settle for self-opinionated amateurs, hire someone who knows what they are doing and can do it well. Hire Nottingham dj for your event

The Mobile DJ

What is the difference between the mobile and the club DJ? Most likely people will say the type of venue, the guests, or the fact that a mobile DJ turns up with a collection of PA and lighting kit and music whereas a club DJ generally turns up with his/her records and headphones.

So in essence a mobile DJ should be exactly the same as club DJ with the exception of all the equipment. The responsibilities of the two types in terms of music and the use of for entertainment should be approached in exactly the same manner. Naturally a club may host more genre specific music.

Nottingham DJ Keeping the crowd on the dance floor

Have you ever attended an event where there is a room full of people and yet the dance floor is continually vacant? At most private events there is a certain order to the evening. An experienced DJ will prep the crowd at the beginning of the evening with popular pickings from different eras; he or she should be making several mental notes on the age range and watching to see if people are responding to the background music, tapping their feet, nodding their heads etc.

The launch phase is critical and it should really be something bouncy, catchy; a selection that everyone knows. Your DJ may ask you the host if you have a personal preference - a good DJ will not be afraid to ask questions to ensure that the best performance is given

Nottingham House Music DJ

Mixing is an art, some folks are highly technical, some feel the mood and act accordingly. Knowing how to beat mix is the base camp of this mountain. The next phase is key matching; with traditional vinyl turntables most commonly the Technics 1200 series, a DJ would have to choose an appropriate track that would be compatible with the musical key signature (pitch) when the tempo was increased to match the record already playing.

More recent technologies have provided a means of fixing the key whilst adjusting the tempo. The more musically discerning will notice an increased digital effect as the tempo is changed further away from the regular bpm whilst the key is locked. A talented DJ will use this feature sparingly to make the effect virtually inaudible.

The Funk in House Music

House has been around since approximately 1981 - it originally comes from a style played at a club called 'The Warehouse' in Chicago. Disco spawned it and the age of the drum machine and affordable synthesiser gave it a harsher edge. House has so many sub genres, go on over to the electronic music guide to see what it's all about

Combine the skills of a veteran turntablist, musically talented and crowd conscious, groove driving person and you only need to ask for DJ Psypha - a true DJ in every sense from Nottingham.
