When u mix...

Do you sort a set out beforehand or do you just pick random records up and mix them?

are you meaning playing out or recording a cd? if i'm playing out (which doesn't happen often ) i'll have a few records in mind that i want to play, but normally i just play what seems right to follow on form the last tune, if you know what i mean.

if i'm recording a cd i usually sort out the tracklisting beforehand

Same as, have a few that a want to give an airing but the rest kinda depends on the crowd, the last DJ, and what I feel like at the time.

random for me. Would usually just go looking through a box until i find a tune that i want to hear!! as long as it will sound good with the current playin track!

*Agrees*

When I'm playing out I have small chunks of tunes I know work well together, but otherwise read the crowd and go with what's doing it for them

When I record I plan my sets carefully, cause that is going to be listened to over and over, and there is no 'crowd' to react to, so you might as well show how well you can progress a set

i do it naked

Same!

Never plan sets ... go with the flow & get all creative innit!
