Me and Kane are doing a live set together on Saturday, our first in ages.
We tend to play a mixed bag from with elements of dubstep, breaks, techno, jungle etc. It usually tends to side more with techno as i for one write more tunes like that, and as we tend to have extended crossfades between tracks the genre lends itself better.
The night we're playing at has quite a mixed playlist policy too, though it doesn't tend to stretch to techno. Dubstep, breaks, jungle mainly. Mostly Breaks I suppose.
As we've been rehearsing our set and choosing our tunes we've both, at different times, become worried about the content of our set. Last week I decided to just think, "fuck em, they can like it or lump it," and stopped worrying too much. But then at our last-rehearsal-before-the-gig practice last night, Kane expressed a similar anxiety.
Despite these worries, last night's run through sounded mint. We've tweeked our selections slightly but there's still pleanty of techno in there, and we like to use some breaks and dubstep tracks anyway so I don't feel like we've compromised ourselves in our choices.
Just wondered if this is something anyone else worries about?
Do you bend over backwards for your promoter/crowd? Or do you just blast them with what you want to hear? | |

i worry about what people want in a liveset from me- i spend ages thinking and making plans and imagining stuff- then i realise i havent got the time or skills to deliver it and so i usually end up thinking 'fuck em- theyll get what theyre given- who cares anyway?'
