a lot of deep house is slower than 120bpm. mid 120bpms seems a bit much for the start of a house night.b-ran wrote:tone-def wrote:so do you guys never play warm up sets? is nobody playing deep house anymore?
haha how and why are you jumping to that conclusion?
does tempo matter?

true..at our monthly spot which is on a tuesday (so not the craziest turnout unless we book internationals) we usually start around 116-118. so many good records are under 120..you'd miss out on a lot of stuff if you only bought >120
Re: does tempo matter?
tempo doesnt matter to me.
if i like a track, i buy it.

Re: does tempo matter?
I usually don't buy music much above the 130bpm mark. Gets too fast and energetic for me. I have no limit on the slow side though, I have lots of music between 60 and 110bpm.

Re: does tempo matter?
Quite like slow paced sets to be honest perhaps that my age kicking in!
The regular gig that I have is kinda loungey so I make sure I dont stray over 125.
I think its force of habit but I prefer generally to pitch down rather pitch up. At the start of the set I try and start at 120ish and then get faster as the night goes on. That said there arent rules but I tend to find this happens.

never really check the tempo only the quality of the song.
I agree with b-ran also, there's so many quality records under 120... a lot.
Re: does tempo matter?
i think everyone agrees that there are good tracks at any tempo.
but my time and money is limited, so there has to be a selection.
And altough i own such tracks, i often just spend my money on tracks that i play more than one time a year
also my definition of warmup doesnt necessarily mean it hast to be really slow, for me it depends more on what kind of tracks you play.

124bpm is my favorite tempo.
