DJs' signature tunes
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2003 5:18 pm
Shanabanana mentioned this in one of her posts, and it was some thing I’d not thought of before. If you were to review your own DJing, would you say you have signature tunes? And if so, are they standard charts or a special you have picked up some where?
Would it be a good or bad thing to have some signature tunes?
For me, I have some favorites, but I’ll make sure that there is a big time gap between when I play them, and if I hear other DJ’s playing to recently, I won’t play them. I would be surprised if anyone could put a signature tune on me. Some have labeled me with a signature artist (Basie) but I think that’s just because I ran a Basie tribute night once. I don’t think in a standard set I play Basie more than any one else.
I don’t think it is any harm to have one or two signature tunes, particularly if they are rare versions you picked up some where, but I don’t think it would be good to have to many.
